Oh and Alex...constructive criticism is great and can be very helpful...BS seems to know
what she likes and has a good ear, but don't focus too much on the negative!!!


I WAS KIDDING
I welcome every sort of criticisms (i.e. when StockOntoMalone said he didn't like the Cold Heart song I was the only one who has not thrown shit on him on that topic)...that said I agree with BS that sometimes my "raaaasp" SOUNDS "forced"...but that's just my voice in that specific range...I could not sing those notes clean...AND I understand I'd better avoid from hitting those notes since I know my voice does like that but..you know I just choose to do it anyway cause when I do that I really feel what I'm singing WAAAY better than doing it on the clean channel

the things that sometimes make me a little bit nervous is that I simply find quite "impossible" for anyone but the singer to figure out IF the singer himself is "feeling" what he's singing or not...judging other singer's performances I'd rather say "you make ME feel that feeling or not" cause I assume every singer on the planet earth FEELS what he is singing...especially if he's singing a song he wrote and for which he really cares about... (i.e. when he's singing songs about his life and/or personal experiences).
But I repeat....I just did put many smiley faces on my answer to BS cause I wanted to explain what exactly my voice is in that specific range, trying to be a smart ass...I figured out later that it hasn't been took the way I wanted to... what else can I say? I'm sorry!

Of course I don't know what you are feeling....it's your goal to convey what you are feeling in your voice so the audience hears it and feels it too. Thats all I'm getting at. It's not that emotion isn't there and can't be heard ...just prodding you to dig a little deeper for some more soul into it, thats all. Perfection isn't attainable but as an artist we strive to get better....to never become complacent and say thats it, I can do no more.....no one can improve if they stop reaching further....and we all have room for improvement. It's not saying something isn't good enough...many times it is and should be left as is....sometimes even the most simple and subtle is best.....it's just that overall in everything we should reach for more and continue to grow.
I'm an artist too...and not nearly as good as many..I just do my thing too and people will like it or they don't...art is subjective anyway...BUT, I know the more I do and the more I expect of myself I can improve on what I do. I will never be as good as some but I'll keep striving to do the best I can. I look for inspiration to motivate and yes, even some criticism is needed at times to motivate, to reach for more and move forward. Thats all I meant and don't worry...you have nothing to be sorry for...you're very talented and do know your own voice better then anyone. I didn't mean what I said in a way to offend, only to motivate to reach for more.
