Jessica – You need to protect your vocal more as we were struggling to hear what you were singing.
Eva – The lyrics in your song were good. Now look to add dynamics and quicken the tempo to get it flowing. Click here for advice on musical dynamics.
Vava – Potentially look to replace the section before the chorus line with lyrics rather than vocal adlibs. Click here for more information on song structure for songwriters.
Nicole – Your song has a lot of potential but the vocal wasn’t developed enough. Going forward either look to get lots of vocal lessons of potentially get someone else to sing it for you.
Lewis – Your song was good but in future don’t play guitar to a backing CD as they will just clash. Now continue to perfect your performance. Click here for live performance opportunities which will allow you to do this.

Ross – Look to practice performing and engaging more if you are going to perform your songs. Click here for advice on musical dynamics.
