Forum Name : Share Your Singing

my first practice session before starting the course (but using the M2 focused concept)

Songs are ALL 100% a cappella and no tweaks. I did this all in one take (recording at about 7:30 in the morning with NO warm up)

 I am sitting in an office chair and singing into my phone...that is it.  I did this for myself but figured I'd just share it. 


 I think having an open dialogue about this process is really important and I said fuck my ego and pride.  I want to sing.

the songs were literally all picked at random as I was finishing the tune I was messing with.

"Show me how to Live" Audioslave 

"oh you Pretty Things" David Bowie: this song is so freaking hard for me. 

"Cold As Ice" Foreigner 

"Whole Lotta Love" Led Zeppelin I think I was doing some things with the Zeppelin stuff that had potential. It's not good now...but I could see this coming together. I never even would attempt Zeppelin it was so far out of my range before but honestly something kind of clicked with these Zeppelin tunes

"Dazed and Confused"  (what I did was something I have NEVER been able to do which is to do soft and actually kind of weave in and out of sounds..so this was a pleasant surprise)

"How Many More Times" (more Zeppelin)

"I Don't Know" Ozzy Osbourne  I have never been able to sing Ozzy and never tried this song...but here we are. Not great but this literally would have been impossible for me without a M2 focused concept. I would have been trying to mix and pull M1 any chance I got.

"Say Hello 2 Heaven" , Temple of the Dog 

" Last In Line" Dio.  Dio would have been impossible for me to sing because I believed he sang in M1 with the balls of Thor to support him!! You'll hear quite a bit of experimenting on this one as I try to play with the fullness of my sound and Dio like "distortion.

"Helter Skelter" The Beatles (sung in the Dio voice on purpose.) I was enjoying the sounds of Dio and just tried this...you'll hear a second version that is a bit cleaner.

ok so here's a link...it's 16 minutes but a lot of different things.

thanks for reading and especially thanks to anyone who checks it out.  I hope it's interesting and somehow helps you, or inspires you to not be timid about sharing your voice.

bro did a whole setlist in the worst possible conditions, truly refreshing in nowadays fake era, you're a legend man! 

I'm thinking of posting a one take cover too without stressing over how it goes, "she's gone" was 2 takes I think and it was just a short clip, I wanna post at least half a song I really like and just one and only one take, you're my inspiration ❤️🙏🏻
