Hi, Im Bloody Rose. Heres my story. Not until recently i had no friends at my school and i actually was beaten up every other day. My only friends at the time were Drawing, Theatre, and Singing. Although i would never perform or show anyone my work. I was often so frightened that i would be told i wasn't good enough. Now every year my school does a recording CD and one day just staring at that sheet. I said "Screw it." amd signed up to do an a capella version of I Caught Myself by Paramore. No one there ever heard me sing before and when someone i hardly knew asked me to give them a preview. I sung what i had learned so far and she and her friends loved it. I was so happy that i could do something worth while. So i started taking lessons to improve my voice and a year later i did my first live perfomance with another girl playing an acoustic guitar. That song was Brick By Boring Brick by Paramore. I was so frightened at that moment i could hardly say anything but when it was time i just closed my eyes and pretended i was all alone. When the song was over i was kind of dissapointed. That feeling i got from sing a song to express myself was so great that i wanted to do it more and more. A year later while i was watching an anime called Angel Beats!. They had a this band called Girls Dead Monster and they played a ballad called My Song. The english translation was at the bottom of the screen and touched me so much that i cried a litle. Those lyrics made feel whole and i could perfectly relate to. It was from that day forward i sing songs that would reach people and make them wanna seize the day. Sorry for the long rant and the music. Note: I like to rewrite the lyrics to japanese pop rock songs and sing them in english. If you have recomendations i would love to hear them. Im starting out with songs by the fictional band Girls Dead Monster. Shine Days Crow Song My Song Thousand Enemies Im Alive!

T_T That was an inspiring story. And yeah that scene from Angel Beats! was very inspirational too. Anyways onto your covers/dubs! I'm no expert but I can see that you've got some potential. However some of the lyrics in those songs don't really flow right. Also there is some issues with pitch and emotion, but those can be fixed just by practicing so keep on doing what you're doing! My favorites were "My Song" and "I'm Alive!", The lyrics in "My Song" flowed more naturally. And with "I'm Alive" I felt you've displayed a wider range of your voice. Again you've got some great potential here, keep doing what you're doing! =) EDIT: Also are you sitting while singing these? I saw one of your other videos that had you sitting down singing. In my experience with Voice Acting I've found that standing up and moving around helps with getting a wider range. Just sharing some advice! :D
Thank you so much and i agree with the flow problem. I thought it was rather prominent in Thousand Enemies. That song gave me a lot of trouble but i wil continue to try my best no matter what! =D
Oh O_O Can't believe I missed that one. I agree that it flowed very well. Yeah that is definitely a favorite! xD
These covers are pretty good, definately going to listen to them again ^_^ Excellent job! What recording software do you use? o.o
