Modern Bard Performs Skyrim's "The Dragonborn Comes"

[LiquidGrape]

I can't hear a trace of auto-tune. In fact, I'd say her recital of the dragon chorus is very appropriately imperfect.
Do people interpret any kind of effect applied to a recording as auto-tune all of a sudden?

 

[JaceArveduin]

Damn she can sing. I'd like to see her do some collaborations with Blind Guardian, get this modern bard to play with the bards of metal

 

[Lyri]

Where is this auto tune? I've listened to this a few times now, and I don't hear it.
Reverb, sure. But Auto tune? Where?

It's not just the T-Pain thing you know?
With auto tune you can modify the key you sing in to the music, if you can't do it naturally.

It's a pretty harsh guess though.

It's a nice song, regardless of auto tune or not.

I don't play Skyrim and I loved this
She's good looking, she has a good voice and... ... ...
Can't come up with an and -.-

OT: Too much autotune.

Do you know what autotune is? There's ZERO autotune used. Chorus and reverb, yes, but autotune, no. She's recording her acoustic guitar through the mic as well. This is all voice and talent.

All this talk of auto-tune makes me demand a T-Pain version of this song.

Also, it won't take long for more of these to crop up, and then someone will mod them into the taverns.

edit: http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2364 ah, that didn't take long at all.

...There definitely isn't any Autotune. I don't know where you guys are getting this, but some people just have naturally good voices. Shocker, I know.

If the Dovahkiin were to appear in real life, he or she would certainly be a guest of one of our fine Correctional Facilities.

OT: Holy Crap

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Fantastic rendition.
Gave me chills.

Nice talent, yet it is sad that she resorted to auto-tune. That invalidates her skills.

Where is this auto tune? I've listened to this a few times now, and I don't hear it.
Reverb, sure. But Auto tune? Where?

i know, i cant hear it either. just the reverb.
which makes it better.

 

[Theo Samaritan]

I pick up no autotune and yes, I know what subtle autotune sounds like. Reverb is a fair bit different from autotune folks, and there is indeed plenty of that.

Would it matter? Even if she used it a little (I honestly cannot pick it up if she did) it's still a better recording than most of you folks would hope to make.

This needs more Nordic metal. Id love to see a cover by Emperor, or maybe Dimmu Borgir.

But shes pretty decent.

No, you simpleton boob! BLIND GUARDIAN!!!

 

[Proverbial Jon]

Ooo, gave me goosebumps. How beautiful. Someone needs to mod this version into the game for the bards to sing.

Perhaps it's best if we all just stand in front of our pets screaming "Fus Ro Da!" until one flies off the kitchen counter and we find out who it is.

Excuse me while I just go and try this!

 

[Kyoh]

As stated before, not hearing auto tune, just a boat load of reverb.

This is actually really good. Awesome harmonies.

Glad to see someone else agrees with me

 

[GeorgW]

She has a really great voice, why did she ruin it with so much reverb?
Other than that, very nice! Would like to hear some Skyrim songs in the next video games live show.

 

[William Ossiss]

She is no 'modern bard'... in fact, i take great offense to that. I've been writing under that name for a couple years now. She sings one little song and gets credited as such. figures, considering that most of these blog posters are back asswards.

OT: auto tune sucks.

 

[Alpha Maeko]

Reverb ≠ Autotune. Stop being dicks.

Beautiful rendition and nice voice, but I probably would've toned down the reverb a bit.

 

[mattaui]

Please, anyone who thinks she's using autotune, go educate yourself as to what that actually is. Yes, there are effects on her voice (reverb and then chorus along with her own voice) but there's no autotune here.

Fantastic sound, so much better than the people Bethesda paid to do the voices for the bards in the game.

 

[Vuliev]

Holy what oh my god.

I now have a reason to play Skyrim, but I blew most of my recent money on Steam's autumn sales. D:
