I've gotta give credit where credit is due! You knocked that song right out of the ballpark! You have a very unique and distinct sound to your voice. You should have no problem garnering enough support to get the seal of approval from the band! Keep it up and best of wishes! Cheers!
Crossing my fingers and toes for you, Michael. I haven't heard any of the other auditions, but my hope is for you to be " he chosen one" (to quote a little Kamelot).
You have an amazing voice! i would love that they choose you :3 Good luck from spain! \m/ p.d i have just seen some of your covers and i am like omg they are super cool. also super great taste in music yay
You know you did something right when.... 1) You can sound better than the original. 2) You get nothing but good feed back for your version/cover. 3) You can make people WANT TO hear more. Congrats my brother!!!! I'm am so amazed by your voice. I see big things for you in the future.
Just know I only dish out those compliments to those I deem worthy. So far The only people to warrant a comment from me are... Pellek.... Siegfried Song....and....You my friend. A Trio between you guys would be incredible you know. Who knows maybe one day my ears will have the pleasure of hearing that masterpiece? If I can give you a little advice though? Your voice is beautiful and you have a pretty decent range without question. But you gotta clean up those cut off breaks. After the note has ended. Their not bad. Hell most are fine, but I'm still hearing them a little. Like I said,I am only giving constructive criticism. I am not judging. This is how musicians grow. Do you take requests at all? What is your vocal range?
Timothy Davis Haha wow man, that's incredible. I really respect Siegfried and of course PelleK, both amazing vocalists so I really appreciate it. Yer I couldn't agree more, they tarnish the song in my ears...but at the moment it's the best I can do so I'm just going to keep working on it and soon enough they'll right themselves :) - I've been working a tonne on my vocal bridge and pitch lately so hopefully that starts to translate in future videos. I always appreciate criticism and suggestions man so dw, I won't take it in the wrong way and I'll usually agree with you haha Sort of, I'd love to be able to but it really depends on timing (I'm a full time uni student) but if enough people request the same song sure! What did you have in mind? I think it's E2-A5 :)
Ok. I just got done watching every video on your .com site. First off. Those are some pretty impressive songs. Secondly, You might have told me you were trained by PELLEK. Lol. But I must say I was right. If he see's the vast potential you can bring to music then that only proves what I've already said to be true of you IMHO. The first thirty seconds or so of "ANTHEM" I pretty much new right away. A star is born. NOW!!!! Listen up!!!! You MUST understand that nothing is given in life, in the music business, in relationships, ect. ect., that isn't taken away just as quickly. Act accordingly. Most are lucky to just scrape by. Do not get a big head in this line of work. Their is ALWAYS someone who WILL come along and try and take what you have. Everyone is replaceable in this business. Do not believe everything everyone says. Right now you haven't had any bad feed back that I've seen. But it's coming. You can bank on it. There is always a critic lurking. One who thinks he can do it better than you or is just plain jealous of what you have. Take it in stride. Even if it hurts. Do not feel compelled to let him/her see your pain. Channel the emotion into your music. Push on with the confidence that you are fine and you truly cannot please everyone. Because in truth you really cant please everyone. Always try to be a people person. And by that I mean when you play shows in clubs, bars, ect. ect. Be sure to mingle. Get to know your fans whenever possible. Those personal connections are what will bring them back again and again and again. Meet and greets could bring you upwards of $50 to $500 or more (Depending on what you might charge) per person. WARNING: stay personable but guarded!!!! You know what I mean?? Anyways. If you understand what I'm saying and you'd like more advice let me know.
Timothy Davis Haha, thanks again man! Yer I guess it never came up haha, thanks again though! Yer I'm trying to just take everything working towards my own goals...and I expect all of what you say, but again as you say - Just take it in stride. I really appreciate the message though, Im sure we'll be in touch over the next few years :)
Your voice is wonderful! I adore Damnation Angels and hope you get the gig. Also, being Australian, if you get to sing for them hopefully it makes it more likely that I'll get the chance to see DA live :P
Michael Eastwood Yep, I'm Australian :) I've been hanging out to see PelleK and Damnation Angels play here for ages, but I know it's pretty unlikely. Always keen for more Australian power metal.
Very good performance. But for their musics, I think you must be more nuanced, not just sing in tune with control...In my sense, from whisper to shout, and from clean to saturated vocals, there is a LOTS of possibilities to get dynamic and emotional vocal. I don't realize if it mean something...but I try to be helpful xD (Even if it's a personal taste) By the way, good luck. (...because of you I want try to sing this song too :P)
Wow thanks for the indepth comment! I completely understand what you mean, and that's what i want to be - more than just a singer but a performer. Lately I've been working on adding more power to my voice and working on a richer tone - these things take time though! Just practise hard and you can do it! Again thank you for the comment ^_^
Ok, I have all my cards out for you. Start to practice stage performance in front of a mirror, look at the videos of your favorite singers live, look how they move, look like you're having fun but without exagerating, and of course, give that gorgeous hair a good use and practise headbanging without getting dizzy or breaking your neck >:D!
detectfevi Hahaha, I know what you mean! It's hard in the small space/with a fixed mic but I'm trying to get a bit more animated in videos - I just don't want to be over the top haha. But I'll definitely work on that over the next few months :)
Yoooo you are an amazing singer, but I'm gonna give ya constructive criticism! Don't give up on the notes too soon. When you sing a 3-beat word you tend to give up and somewhat "say" the final part of the word. I apologize if I didn't explain very well..English isn't my first language. Keep it up though. You're doing great, man.
+Diego Leon Hey Diego! I completely agree bro and it's something I've been working on a lot lately! I appreciate any form of constructive feedback and appreciate you taking the time to let me know :)
This is the perfect vocalist for : Damnation Angels, Ladys & Gentleman, with you : Mr. Sir Michael Eastwood !!!
Zhazhael Zhellos Haha, thanks heaps man - always love your support ;)
The best audition so far. I've heard most of them, but yours is the best. Hope they take you. Congratulations for your voice!!!
Marta Martrix Thanks Marta :)

NightNight202 Blown away by your words, thanks so much!
Crossing my fingers and toes for you, Michael. I haven't heard any of the other auditions, but my hope is for you to be " he chosen one" (to quote a little Kamelot).

winners UA-cam channel:Pellek but, your voice is AMAZING dude!!!! xD
Your voice is wonderful!
I adore Damnation Angels and hope you get the gig.
Also, being Australian, if you get to sing for them hopefully it makes it more likely that I'll get the chance to see DA live :P
Thanks so much for your comment! You're also Australian then?? We need more power metal down under!
Michael Eastwood Yep, I'm Australian :) I've been hanging out to see PelleK and Damnation Angels play here for ages, but I know it's pretty unlikely.
Always keen for more Australian power metal.
Haha yer we have like nothing - im flying to melbourne to see blind guardian on thursday! Might be waiting a while on pellek but we'll see!

Michael Eastwood You also have the metal hair :D!
It's honestly an achievement - takes years lol

infernitylord Thanks man, appreciate the feedback :)
