Of who I can think of at present: Zack del la rocha - his social conscience the woman from portishead - very...interesting lyrics

I believe I saw somewhere on this forum someone saying that it's possible to use commercial songs royalty-free and without permission if you only play 2 minutes of it. Is this true? Thank you.

not my usual style, but.. are you guys serious these inferior rhymes're makin me grow delirous I fear we spit so sick you're rhymes stick like crisco then on a whim I'll honor them those who write tight and still deserve honorin dang I'm rusty..

I, personally, as an American, like rock with a british accent. It always seems to personify more of a the rock sound. I think of the clash and the sex pistols, the accent accents the style, giving it a harder edge it seems.

drums guitar bass vox extra you have your basic rhythm (drums), then you can hear the song's progression (guitar), then added emphasis (bass), then finishing touches (vox/extra)

Nearly all my lyrics could work as poetry, all of them if you think in a modern sense. The lyrics come extremely easily to me (to people's amazement, oddly), and I let someone else do the extra music. I, personally, don't care for much poetry. I like some of frost's catchy tunes and...

By faking it I didn't mean using effects...I don't really even see how it would be possible and sound realistic. I mean by singing from your throat and distorting it using your voice to sound as it would if you were screaming. It may turn out better even.

That's pretty handy to know. Could it be people thinking of soothing their throat rather than vocal cords?

Settle down, I'm not a singer.

I was watching american idol (don't laugh) last night and one of their contestants said they drink a shot of olive oil before performing. They said it REALLY moisturizes the vox cords. Might be good for y'all to know.

I don't intend on smiling while singing anyways...sounds like a waste. If I'm paying attention to a singer I want to see them doing everything in their power to do their performance how they want it as opposed to making it 'look good'.

Change the name already. I had to send 2 PM's to figure out where the vocal forum was..it's insanity. Events Electronics => Vocal/Life Performance

I can imitate voices pretty well (in my opinion), but I never trust my voice to my own ears. Thanks for the advice, I'll try the voice tests. I'm not gonna be screaming (much) and when I do I'm gonna just distort my voice--I can barely talk for a long time w/o hurting my throat, so it'd wreak...

In these days I would consider a computer with some recording software a necessity. It really isn't, but I believe it to be the most efficient (physically and economically) recording equipment.

A recording device. Even so simple as a little mic plugged into a tape player that records. There's a studio!
