I enjoyed the whole thing right to the point EXCEPT for the beginning Vocal Harmony which to me sounded a bit hokey, or maybe try another harmony setting (female?)..maybe bring it in as an ending fade out as a hook that lingers in peoples mind... good luck with this project.

I’m also not sure about VH. I think it’s important not to overdo something when you are trying to make it perfect. I liked the first version, which to my mind needed only to volume up the ending (which is done here).
The thing is, in commercial recordings, to my knowledge, harmonizes are not used at all. Each voice part is recorded separately, and then tuned to a perfect pitch with a Melodyne software.

Thanks...the script and vocal inflection on 1st version, were less exciting, but I get it.
BTW, no Vocal Harmpnizer. I did all those harmonies myself

I "arranged" all the BGV's in my head. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE THE VOCALIZER ON THE KORG....I have a VH on the PA 4 X but have never once used it...
I kind of thought out the harmony parts as I went along. All those BGV's are me singing. It's literally 22 tracks of me singing different parts, harmonies, oooohs, ahhhs, and A BOOM BOOM BOOM. (my personal favorite...LOL)
Yup....THIS IS ALL ME VOCALLY.........

Yes, I tend to make such mistake, because I don't really deal with vocals at all.
For this reason it's hard to rely on this kind of feedback. Scientist now say that people can't really tell what they are thinking, because most of the thinking is a background process. Mostly they tell some cliches which more or less suit a context.
Well, the point is that the final audience will hear it in their own, intuitive way; and the process of creating such a thing is also mostly intuitive. I believe that you will process the feedback here in a right and careful way, with an amount of scepticism.

HI I have raised the volume but will try more. the end is a part of the jingle so I cannot redo it. Got me thinking if I raise volume it may be too unnatural.....So..... I think I will punch that line in vocally and ADD it and add reverb and pan it differently? At the very least think I will try copying the end part 2 more times and panning and adding delay and reverb. Thanks for the input because I would rather address now

Much improved when compared to the original. You are "on the right track" for the "clientele target audience." Best of luck with it. I hope the "jingle biz" is more profitable than the "music biz."
