Broadjam Artist: Nigel Barrett
Song: Tenderly
Reviewer: Randy Calligan
Positive Comments: The singer has an excellent voice (perhaps a bit pitchy in places), but overall a very nice tone and sound. Nice vibrato, don’t be afraid to use it. Overall song was good, I liked it.
Constructive Comments: Mix your vocal reverb using the effect on a bus as opposed to an insert on the vocal track. This will enable you to have a much longer reverb tail without losing the intimate quality of the vocal sound. Open your throat when you sing the high notes (as in “tenderly”). This is not out of your range, and yet it sounds a bit like you are struggling to hit the note. Open your throat like you are yawning, this will enable a fuller sound and keep the excellent tone you have. I did not like the sounds you selected for the background music. The drums just didn’t seem right for this type of song.
