Singing

[Deloria]

They worked for me, but I didn't have time to finish listening to it on account of the fact that I have a biology test tomorrow and haven't studied. Gah. 

[Pacman928]

they all rock!

[Farquhar]

I haven't listened to them all yet, but Friend Like Me was really good.

[Rosella]

Lol, that was like, the joke one.

[Farquhar]

Well I like it anyways.

[Rosella]

Thanks.

The chorus of Say Goodnight, by The Click Five

The silence in this thread saddens me.

Ok, now it's time for some old-school original recordings.

So Far Away by, well, me, in case you missed the "original" part of the post.
In Your Eyes, still me
Butterflies, STILL by me

They're all about a stupid exboyfriend I had. So...have fun listening to an 11 year old rant. The first song is about how I missed him when we were separated because of the summer. The second is when I thought he liked another girl (Who was actually really cool.) The third is about when he broke up with me and asked said other girl out.

[Yonkey]

Aww sorry. I don't really have any time right now to listen, but I will check them out once I get a chance!

[Shades2585]

Wow! Well done.

And always remember we ALL love you here. 

[Yonkey]

Nice!   Just be careful about breathing on the mic.

One trick you can do is hold it directly by your chin like your singing over it, so the air doesn't hit it.

[Rosella]

The recordings are 2 years old.

I've (hopefully) fixed that by now.

Necroposting for the win?

So I'm both mystified and amused that this thread hasn't been archived yet  (My personal thread has though! ) but it works to my advantage.

So as some of you who are subscribed to me on YouTube may have noticed, I recently posted a video entreating help picking an audition song for an a capella group. If that is something you'd be interested in helping me do, please listen to my full introduction and hear the ~1 minute song clips. I would be really grateful for the outside opinions.

On an unrelated note, people should use this thread other than me and me-from-6-years-ago.

Spambots keep grabbing this one from time to time for some reason, that's keeping it from being archived.

[KatieHal]

Singing spambots, at least I should hope.

I liked the first two videos, Kelsey. The other two songs were just kinda eh--which is more that the songs themselves were. You sounded nice, but the songs just weren't as interesting and didn't provide much opportunity to show-off your voice.

[MikPal]

As a tonedeath person I can only give hints on the technical side.

If you're interrested in recording your own singin, I'd suggest you to buy a better microphone. There are some nice USB ones, but the best way is with a small mixer and a microphone (and a pop-filterto fix those s's. You can make one of those from old nylon stockings).

They're pretty cheap nowadays with some mixers having a USB output.

[Rosella]

Heh. I actually have both of those things. Several good USB mics and a pop filter made from old stockings. The videos were more meant to be an overview than to show exactly how I'd perform it. I'd obviously be putting more emotion into it, warmed up more, standing up, awake... This was just a quick thing since my webcam/internal mic was the easiest way of doing this.

But no, I do appreciate the advice! I've never quite figured out how to attach the pop filter to the mic though. Clothes hanger?
