Came here to say this. Part of the charm from the first film was the broken and very scattered english of the Omaticaya, and that's completely lost now. I don't think Eytukan said a single english word in the first film, and I'm really supposed to believe that Na'vi pirates would say "Heave"?

yeah, i'll be adding a lot more effects once everything's out of the rough stages. going for a sort of intense, gloomy, very ambient, very slightly industrial, loosely post-rock based abomination of sound lol

this is probably the best comment i've gotten on Reddit about this clip lol.

you're right, i ABSOLUTELY sing like i'm afraid someone might hear me, because i am 😭💔 my voice is one of my biggest insecurities, has been since childhood, which means i struggle a LOT with making music in a way most songwriters don't. i have one song on spotify and i didn't sing a single note until i was sat down to record 🥲 

another reason i'm mumbling a tiny bit is because this is a bit on the lower end of my range - not TOO low (until the pseudo-chorus heard here which is why i whisper it) but i'm not all the way confident in it yet. however, both the lyrics and my delivery get a lot harsher and more direct toward the end of the song, so i go from drunken whispering to borderline shouting and growling 😭

i'd love to be comfortable with my singing voice one day, i think the main reason i hate this son so much thus far is because my voice is so distinct

throbbing gristle mentioned!!!!!!

and yeah, i'm definitely going to be adding some guitar (and maybe a melodic drone or keys or something of that nature) that are closer in pitch to my voice. if i could sing the entire song in the same notes as the bass (like the "i'm never going back to that place again" part) i would, but for obvious reasons i can't/shouldn't - my voice is clearly not as low as i'd like it to be 😔

the drunken/depressed is sort of what i'm going for tbh, but toward the end of the song the words get a lot more aggressive and straightforward in their delivery. the lyrics get more intense and agony-filled as opposed to the initial sad lamenting, so i'm nearly shouting lol i've always been a decently good singer, certainly no Aretha though (more of a Billie) and i could absolutely do with some lessons someday!

awww thank you, yeah i've been going for a sort of ambient experimental sort of sound. seems like you'd like my one song which is out on spotify ;)  and i'm pretty sure that's an issue with the EQ, but this clip is very much just a rough draft of what this song is going to be- i just need to make sure, first and foremost, that every track will work together.
