  1. Well, to be fair, I only modulated the song one whole step up from its original key (from Db to Eb), and I did that so that the higher notes would push a bit more at the upper end of my range, which would help preserve some of the musical intensity. Other than singing songs written for my range, what tips would you have for improving my intensity beyond what I'm already doing? (I honestly though I had a lot of intensity in my performance there.)
  2. Yeah, I've covered (and plan to continue covering in the future) songs for male voices. This one cover is simply the best one I've done to date, and its lyrics hold a good deal of personal meaning to me.
  3. Thank you! I have an acquaintance, Andre Pascher (a.k.a. Shady), to thank for that wonderful mixing job. I'm still very much a newbie at mastering as well, so I don't have the finesse that he has with it. He's a PHENOMENAL singer, too (seriously--listen to this duet he sings here: ). I've been a fan of his stuff for over a year now, but I had never felt brave enough to approach him. When I posted my cover of "Defying Gravity" online, though, he happened to stumble across it, then contacted me out of the blue complimenting my singing voice and asking if I'd want to sing a duet with him. So, yeah...basically, I got asked by one of my idols if I wanted to work with him, which as you may well imagine had my jaw on the FLOOR. Anyway, that invitation boosted my self-confidence quite a bit (which before had been appallingly low), and I'm trying to improve myself now. I've managed to get in on a few other projects with people I really admire and respect, and I've always dreamt of making a living as a vocalist (both singing and voice acting), so I'm going around trying to get a feel for what I should be doing to help make that happen.
  4. So I've been into music for pretty much my entire life, but I've more recently been trying to focus on singing. I did a little bit of choir and musical theater back in my youth, but I still feel like a real newbie when it comes to singing, since I never had formal voice training. If anyone has any tips they can offer for basic exercises I should be doing or whatever you think I should be working to improve, I'd greatly appreciate it! You can hear a recent sample of my singing here:
