You have good contrast between the verses and the chorus. That's what I was saying I liked about your latest. It's good the way you pick up the volume in the chorus, and it helps the dynamics. You could maybe help it with the guitar too. Do the picking style during the verse to support the low feel, and then strum it harder and more percussive under the chorus similar to your first take. A mixture of both styles. That will really help the dynamics.
I am a little concerned about the harmonies Leo. Are you open to some coaching for what yo sing for harmony? I believe I can give you suggestions as to what notes specifically to sing to harmonize. I can demo it on the piano or using synth voice and then you can try singing it and you'll see better harmonies.
You have a good voice Leo. A good feel. I just think you need to study the harmony line a little so you know exactly what to sing. I hear you struggling to find what to sing in harmony. I can help if you are open to it.
This has great potential.
No wonder I was having a hard time hearing bass. You said bass audition so I was thinking you played a bass. Now it makes sense why.
Ok well maybe soft verse and rocked up chorus? So we'd need a more rythmic bass under the chorus. Sparse bass on verse would be ok then... CHorus needs to hit it with the band and pick it up IMHO.
I could maybe do a drum track if you can supply guitar and vox lead. That might help develop the bassline.
Wonder if I could talk Ashley into auditioning backing vox harmonies.
If I had my voice I'd eat this backing vox up. It's right up my alley (American slang, meaning I could sing this).
