    If you still need a singer, I'd be interested in helping out. Let me know if you still need a singer

    Why did you start singing?

    I started singing because it's my escape from the stresses of the world, especially job and school related

    Cover of James Taylor's Fire and Rain

    Quite a good ear you have for nintendo sounds! It is a Virtual Instrument unfortunately. I will look up comping a vocal, half the trouble is not knowing what to look up. Many thanks! I'll try and put up a new less-reverb-version soon

    Cover of James Taylor's Fire and Rain

    Definitely agree on the reverb, I unfortunately haven't updated that yet, should be up tonight, will reply when fixed. As to the levels, I'll definitely look into that, I wasn't quite satisified with them upon listening to the recording again, so I'll fool around with them a bit Thanks! Gob

    Vocal Exercises to fix pitch problems?

    I hate to mildly disagree with some people here, but you have to be very careful with extra muscle movement when singing. Be very conscious of strain in your throat, when singing with good technique throat strain should be very very minimal, actually your abs should start to hurt first. I am not...

    Cthulian Dreams, criticism (preferably constructive) much appreciated!

    Yes, that midi is horrendous, but it is a very nice site for composing music quickly from a variety of locations. I will be rewriting parts of this today and hopefully getting out a version with Pro Tools virtual instruments and my voice, but that could take a while, as it stands the vocal part...

    Wicked game

    I really like this. Honestly while I understand "vocals should be wetter" as another person suggested, be VERY careful with reverb, though honestly I'm terrible at it getting reverb right. The biggest problem with covers I think is that when you first hear the cover you kind of go "eeehhh"...

    Cthulian Dreams, criticism (preferably constructive) much appreciated!

    Depends, are you familiar with modern art song? May have been the wrong forum to post in, idk. I am working on the coherence of the piece at the moment, so it definitely does have issues with timing. If you're not familiar with classical voice this will be... a bit weird to say the least. Oh...

    Cthulian Dreams, criticism (preferably constructive) much appreciated!

    Oh sorry! Hmm... in the upper right hand corner, past the music, there is a menu called "play". In that you should be able to play it, or simply click slightly above the sheet music, a "play" sign should appear next to it, that should play.

    This should allow you to see the piece Noteflight - Cthulian Dreams (Rough 2) I'm really interested to hear what people think.

    My friend swears vocal range is a myth

    So I'll give my two cents. Can some people expand to 5 octave range? Yes. Can most people sing more than an octave + 2 notes or so? No. Can you change vocal fach? Not really, except for something like baritone to countertenor, though it can change a bit with time. In anybody's voice however...

    Do You Like (Or Hate) Your Voice?

    I like it but... I like my voice, but often the first time I listen to a new recording I don't like it. If it still sounds bad tomorrow, then it really is crap Oh, and I abhor my speaking voice

    Colaboration, anyone?

    Actually my project started as making a CD for my newly married friends, but transformed into a more full formed project, and has included some rather silly full acapella bits. You can check it out here http://www.soundclick.com/michaeldavidhoffman

    New Christmas Song Review Please

    I really like it, though I find the lyrics a little... schizophrenic. This in particular And Im not entirely sure, how Im gonna find a way, to make it through this holiday, aloneagainthis year I guess fits? but most of this is really descriptive of the christmas season, and there's not much...

    Do You Like (Or Hate) Your Voice?

    I think one of the biggest things with liking you voice is finding a type of music where your voice fits. I can do classic art song, opera, 40s and 50s crooners, and some folk, but that's about it. I play around with other forms, sometimes just to be silly, but if I want to really like how I...

    Colaboration, anyone?

    You might think about looking at some classic folk songs, they can sometimes bring inspiration! Unfortunately I don't write songs (yet) I just do covers, some to be funny and some to be serious.

    Besame Mucho

    Oh, I'm also a Pro Tools n00b, so I'm trying all sorts of strange things to see if I can get a decent sound out of my machine :) Also working with a SM57, which is damn near invincible, but unfortunately isn't great for recording vocals (or maybe I'm making bad use of it, n00b status is working...

    Besame Mucho

    Thanks all! I will be working with this more to see if I can swing anything better out of Virtual Instruments :P. Unfortunately I am short a surplus of musicians >< so I'm stuck with them for now. But I think I can do better... just need to keep trying new things! Gob
