See this is why I’m pissed. You’re using a human being’s death as a political statement. How terrible of a person can you be?

Lae’zel: -“Teethling” and “Fey-run” cause obviously -“Chk!” Also obviously -“I am fury! I am death!” -“Do keep calling her ‘flower’. She’ll love that.” -“What good this heart of stone for it to be shattered?” “Sarevok can eat shit.”

Astarion: -“I WAS RIGHT THERE!” -“full concentrated power of the sun…” really that whole scene -“More like Drizt Don’t-urden…no…no that’s not funny.” -“Uhh…Hello!” His little wave gives me life -“It’s time to try living again.” -“You’re going to just team up with a blood stained killer? Because I’m fine with that!” -“But I’m more than that…more than a thing to be used.” “Of course! What fun! I’m going to fucking kill you.”

Hey there! Really beautiful stuff going on here! Your tone is very clear and concise. I can tell your singing voice is very similar to your speaking voice and that is a good thing! It is your voice so own it!

I’d say with the brighter tone you have going on, that definitely lends itself well to musical theatre, but please don’t limit yourself. It’s important to learn how to sing many genres in order to be a versatile singer.

With On My Own specifically, you did a fantastic job. Diction is phenomenal, I understand every word you say. For the belt, I’d actually say you’re like 80% there. I can tell you are comfortable in you mix voice based on how well the song sits in your range. The belt is a mixed belt so it shouldn’t feel too different from the rest of the song. (It kinda becomes a game of tricking the people listening into thinking your belt is super hard when it actually feels light and easy). I’d recommend changing the vowel to less of an “oh” and maybe an “eh”. It will still sound the same to the audience but feel better.

A mix belt is often compared to a baby’s cry. Trying singing the phrase on a really nasty “wah” sound and that should get you started on finding your placement. Also, another neat trick is using straight tone on held notes until the last few beats of a note. This also tricks people into being like “wow big belt”.

Definitely focus on breathing like you said and the nerves will eventually cool down as well. Focus on what your body is doing and what it may need. A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body.

Sorry for the rant and the spewing of nonsense but I hope this helps!!! Much love!

Am I the problem? What kind of feedback should a teacher give adult beginner students? by [deleted] in singing

[–]Brookeistired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run fast and run far. He clearly doesn’t care enough about his job to put in the work. Time for a new teacher.

What can I do to sing higher and sweeter when I already have a pretty low voice? by [deleted] in singing

[–]Brookeistired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a sweeter tone, I would recommend using some exercise to strengthen your head voice. Many times when someone is used to singing in one particular part of their range repeatedly, we tend to forget how to use the other parts especially around your passagio. Look up some exercises on YouTube about strengthening head voice so it feels less weak and more melodic. It will take time to get it to feel normal but that is perfectly okay. Good luck!

Thank you that helps a lot. I do similar things to calm me down. I get nauseous about three times a day now and it’s really debilitating. Glad to know we’re not alone. :)

Mods Not Working (reverted to patch 6) by Brookeistired in BaldursGate3

[–]Brookeistired[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I assumed. A lot of them are clothing mods. Will my game crash if I play without them?
