To cut a long story short... I try to record these few songs for a few weeks now, and it's driving me crazy. It's no problem for me to record for 5 hours straight (which is the time I've got for myself every day of the week), but when I spend all those hours just listening to previous takes and slamming my head on the wall without any sign of a good take I feel like I'm doing something terribly wrong or I'm just not built for it (which is the fact that I'm not gonna take well). My voice is as unreliable as yours would be if someone was standing behind you and poking you with a needle every once in a while, while you were recording. Maybe not so much, but I often don't say out words the way I want to (if I want to, I need to be super concentrated, and then I lose the energy and emotion that I want to translate). Sometimes I have ideas which include going from smooth voice to nasally (something like Eazy-E or Em) and it sounds downright disturbing, even with a lot of compression. I don't know what it is. Maybe I want to sound original to much so I get this unreliable voice which varies from take to take. Maybe I should rap quieter. Maybe I should learn how to breath properly so I have that reliable voice. Maybe I should try something else ? I kindly ask you to share your experiences, exercises, habits and solutions with me so I can get better . I really want to work and develop, but this stuff is discouraging.
P.S. I used to do some guest verses and I received nothing but praises. Hell, I don't trust those n00bs.
P.S.S. I got low self-confidence. To be honest with you maybe that's the cause of all of this.
