Good voice

by Anonymous77 (not verified) on Sun Aug 24, 2008 03:55 AM PDT

I would advise getting a teacher not to strain the voice that much, learn the tricks of better projection including posture,breathing and usage of consonants, otherwise the voice will be out in a few short years.

Good luck

دختر جان این حرکات چیست؟ برو درس و کتابت را بخوان! میخواهی این آبروی خانوادگی را آلوده کنی؟ ما ناسلامتی از خانواده متدینی هستیم و نماز و روزه مان ترک نشده است. استغفرالله من العتوب علیه!

I on the other hand

I can see a mixture of almost 50-50 Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt.

Good luck Sami...:-)

amazing songs and voice

by Masoud Kazemzadeh on Sat Aug 23, 2008 03:10 PM PDT

In her site

//www.samiakbari.com/

she has several wonderful songs available for free...

....she has a wonderful voice, a unique blend of contrasting of a young but mature voice, sad with a hint of hopeful light, deep with a flicker of entertainment, which reflects the Persian melancholic soul carrying within the deep recesses of its psyche its tortured past and horrifying present, raised in a hopeful sunshinee America reflecting its inconsistent conflictuality.....

 

would have been a good song in Satrapi’s Austria phase while she was sinking into depression AND right before she finally comes out of it in Tehran before the shower scene. It is not clear whether it is the sunset or sunrise...

 

for American ears her voice would sound like is a mixture of Fiona Apple and Sarah McLaughlin,....

i wish her much success.... she deseves it..
