I live nocturnally because I hate people.

Because everyone's in the proper financial situation for that, right?

Duly noted since I've got a trumpet to consider. I guess I can just get a clip on mic for the bell.

Cool! Thank you!

What would be an example of a source of high SPL? (Sorry for all the questions)

I'm Canadian, and we use distilled beaver blood. Woah man, will that stuff ever mess with your head.

Brain21 · 2012-05-23T07:36:00.732583-07:00

Thanks for the input!

I'm going to have to look into it more, but it looks like I might be leaning towards the Shure.

Could you define SPL for me? I'm not familiar with the acronym.

Also, how's a dynamic mic different from a condenser? I'm guessing it doesn't use a fragile foil within the mic?

How would one define useful and useless?

Sorry for the reply after a month, just trying to wrap my head around the protests and I've been cruising old posts.

Can I ask for a source? Those numbers are fascinating, and I'd love to share them, but I like having a source to back them up with

Props for the rhyme.

I was thinking more about just recording, the thought of gigging with one never really occured to me. Most of the places I've played at supply their own mics. Is it common that one must bring their own?

I tend to get things that pop into my head at random about my day, usually in the shower, or bussing, or things like that where one's mind is allowed to wander. If I like it, I write it down in either my phone or a notebooks if I'm carrying one, then transfer it to a big list on my computer of lyrics. Every now and then I take sections of lyrics I like, fit them into a cohesive structure, then put down in the title a feeling I get when I read them, then I save them for when musical inspiration strikes.

You're on the good road, be proud, man.

I'd say find another vocal coach

It might be in your mix, which is no man's land for untrained singers.

Could you supply my with harmonies and maybe with it an octave lower? I can give my 2cents on them, if you'd like.

Sick! Music sticks with you your whole life, she can bring you down, and she can put on top of the highest mountain. Genre?

I dont know if this would screw up with the car saftey, but you could try Alexander Technique on it, where you sit on the edge, and lean back?

Maybe a safer way would be to adjust your seat angle to something that works?

I too, am curious. Is it treatable?

You might want to look into popular song forms, and how they use the repetition of sections. See if you can get the chord charts for some old big bang swing pieces, grab a pencil, and jot down how they're structured, what the chords are doing, etc. It might be a good start.

Try and learn the vocal melody on the piano, and take it reaaaal slow so you can find your pitches.

Also, try to do as little as possible when it comes to bodily mechanics. You want as much of it to feel like you're just talking. This might seems kind of weird to think about, but try just to talk it while changing pitch (or try to not 'sing' it, if that makes more sense).

When I was starting (and still), I'd try to 'sing' the songs, and I'd come off like a crap lounge singer imitating Frank Sinatra haha

Because it's just that easy to stop thinking a certain way, right?

And I'm pretty sure a lot of external things can make yourself miserable. For instance, oh, I dunno, having your mother abuse you.

I realise you meant well with the comment, but turning the blame onto an already depressed person will only make things worse.

I wrote a whole bunch of words, but realised you've heard it plenty already, from a lot of people.

What instrument do you play?

Fair enough, though the car is a great place to do exercises if you do sit straight.

My vocals coach goes on and on about how he gets his practice on while commuting between students.

Hm, why 1939, if I may ask? Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, and the blatant violations of civil rights happened from then on.

If you're sitting upright, there shouldn't be much pressure on your diaphragm. Most of the time, wind instrument players play sitting.
