Do you really want to know how well you sang on a particular performance? I mean really...Do you?
If you do you may post here. I'll hold nothing back.
I will score you on a scale of 1-10 based on 2 categories. For a possible score of 20...(which is nearly unattainable.)

1. How well you stay on key.
2. The quality of your voice.

Please Specify if you would like you're scoring here or if you would rather have it sent to you in a private message.

Maybe when your phone rang you should have actually STOPPED singing to answer it.
For not answering your phone you receive a 0.

I can't put my finger on it. You seem to have used some artistic license that made your performance quite loose.

1. How well you stayed on key. (6)
2. The quality of your voice. (7)

Total - (13)

I think you can do much better.

Thank you.

Okay, I'll put myself out there. I know I'm not up to par. Just want to hear what I need to work on so I at least hopefully get some advice that will help me improve to get people to comment after they listen. I usually don't get comments, just views. And that means there's something not right that they don't like.

Shawn... Here are your scores.

2. The quality of your voice. (10)

Total - (19)

This was a very good performance. If you're not getting comments it's most likely simply due to the fact that there aren't enough people hearing you.

You should definitely enter some contests. That will get you heard by many...and many need to hear you.

You also might consider submitting songs on some of the popular threads in the "Promote Yourself" category of SingSnap.

Thank you.

Kitty. You presented me with a unique problem. I couldn't tell how well you stayed on key through the entire song because the music volume was a bit high.

Your scores:

1. How well you stayed on key. (n/a)
2. The quality of your voice. (10)

Total - (10 out of a possible 10)

From what I could hear you were on key but there were areas where it was difficult to discern. I do not judge for recording mix quality.

From what I could hear you sang well.

Thank you.

It's quite alright to have fun and sing. You're voice quality is decent and pitch is improvable so keep it up.

The lead guitarist played very well.

There were areas in your performance where you seemed a little shaky and lacking in confidence. 14 is a good score but I believe you are capable of doing better.
