Kind & Honest Critique & Advice

My name is Shanda (like Panda). I'm just a simple person who likes to sing and listen to others. I enjoy helping people.

You will never get a brutal critique from me, and I ask that no one else here ever be brutal either. Please, do not leave mean comments on other member's recordings!

I will not give points or judge you on a scale of any kind. There will be no inner circle setup required unless you wish to keep a song private only to me or a few others; that is your decision to make. Blue members will not be able to use inner circle, unfortunately, so please keep that in mind.

There is no quota of listening by anyone who joins the thread although I encourage those who post to listen to others, if possible, and if the person wishes to make their recording public. This is not a promotion thread! This is a peer help thread.

I will give you honest critique and advice for your vocals and recording quality based on my own experience. A second opinion by anyone else is, of course, welcome. In the end, critique is merely an opinion...I mainly wish to give helpful advice.

Please, IF you critique other members, keep your critique honest and kind and only on the recording itself.

I am offering this thread as a way to help others who want help.

On and off topic chatting is fine but, please, keep graphics small so page loading will be easy for others and they can get to posted songs more quickly.

Post your song and I will do my best to come give you a listen and advice, if needed, as soon as I can. Sometimes it may take me awhile but I will get there. :)

I hope you enjoy this thread and find benefit from it.

Shanda :)

I want to add, if you prefer, you may receive your critique and/or advice from me via pm. If you wish to send your song to me rather than posting here that is absolutely fine. I aim to please. :)

You had answered a question I posed in a thread...so first off...thank you for your help there.

I was going to post something but...oops...I just realized you said post the critique on the song only and I am not looking for song comments.

I will just come back and listen later!
Vicki :)

You're welcome! I'm always glad to help. :)

I can give you critique and advice in a private message if you prefer. :)
