I think you gotta be honest. And at the same time show some class.. I listen to alot of the singers on here and when someone picks a difficult song and sounds listenable I will always give props. I may not comment on some of the stuff cause maybe i don't like or understand the music very well..If I hear someone doing something that I can help with i will usually try and help. But if its a Personal style thing and they sound decent I don't mess with it. That is what separates each singer, personal style.
"All qualities are acceptable as long as vocal health is not jeopardized.....Everyone has a beautiful voice."
This is a funny quote cause I look at it the other way sometimes. Example:
If any of you or I was producing Curt Cobain. Would you have tried to fix his vocal health and the way he sings? He was destroying his voice but was so cool sounding and honest it showed.
I wouldnt have What would you have done?
I say listen just listen and if they ask for technical help then help but don't put your ego to work on their art. I'm sure some of the greatest singers have been lost because they were told they were no good and need to work need to learn how to sing. I remember going to a couple lessons with Ron Anderson and thats what he told me. That I would have no career if i kept singing like that.. Meanwhile I was making a hell of a living singing.
So be nice and helpful
I'm sorry that I get frustrated sometimes on this forum but that is because I am trying to help.
