I'm seeking some EQ'ing rules of thumb specific to my voice. I know I don't have the greatest pipes, and I know a few months of private singing lessons would benefit me greatly. I will take those lessons as soon as I can afford them, but until then aside from practice, what can I do to take my voice from unlistenable to at least maybe tolerable?
Here is a raw vocal track I recorded while drinking whiskey and jamming with a buddy. I can spend hours toying with EQ and sometimes I feel like I'm making improvements, but then by the end I realize I've made it sound thin or boxy or more nasal or in some way just as the raw recording. Can anyone tell me which frequencies to boost or cut and by how much? Of course this will change with every recording, but as a novice faced with infinite options I need a starting point.
