me attempting vocals...

I haven't sung with any sort of real practice regiment for years now - so the quality of my voice is nowhere near where it should be. There's a recording of me playing the acoustic guitar and a sampled piano and (also sampled) electric bass. The acoustic guitar was some junky little First Act guitar that I got for free, lol. Recorded with two AudioTechnica 871R boundary mics into a Mbox (focusrite pre's).


"All My Love" (first song)


Remember - you might feel the singing sucks. be forewarned.

You're kidding, right?! After reading all your warnings, I was expecting it to reek But man your voice is smoooooooth! Certainly better than the crooners I hear on the radio. Very nice song, too.

SING MORE

If I ever get brave enough to sing a song, I only hope my voice sounds this good. This is great! This will be nice to add to your already stellar talents of composing!

Hey, Your voice sounds real good. You're lucky. good job.

Dude - nice! Before listening, I was honestly thinking that people were just sugarcoating their responses, so I was prepared for a mediocre performance at best. Not the case at all. Your voice sounds great and the song is nice as well. I'm also surprised at the production - very clear.

On a side note, it's funny, I've played in bands most of my life and handled my share of lead and background vox, but I've actually never recorded myself singing. Probably because I hate the sound of my voice (don't we all?), which doesn't really work well for the types of music I produce nowadays, and because I don't write lyrics.

BTW, what equipment (mic, preamp, etc.) did you use for your vocals? The reason I'm asking is that it sounds like maybe your singing voice is naturally a little thin (?), especially in the upper register, but it comes through the mix pretty clear, warm, and full.

Nice work as always and hopefully we'll be hearing more of your vocals in the future.

That totally sucked. Don't give up your day job!

(I am kidding )

Josh, if this is you "not as good as it should be" then you will be beyond spectacular when it is as it should be. Please do understand that I have to hate you now. I have made it my policy to hate everybody that can actually sing.

Well done. Too short, but rocked none the less.

Cheers

Your voice is not bad at all... like any singer, you need to find what you can sing best...and it sounds like you're on the right track.

Yeah, you have a nice voice, Josh.

Nice mix, too. Only thought the piano played a few off notes at 1:10, thereabouts - sounds fumbled a bit - other than that no gripes, esp. liked the string reverb noise on the bass.

Great job Josh! Smooth singing, great clarity and a very good song!! I'll give two thumbs up! Because thats all I have!!!

Hey Josh, You got a great voice. I agree with Tom though. Sounds like your singing through your nose a bit. You're very fortunate that it's just a little practice and some minor adjustments. I won't even say what my voice sounds like I'm singing through.
