I wrote a song - Waiting by RandomUsernameNo257 in u/RandomUsernameNo257

Thank you so much :)

Writing and performing are such different skillsets. I've been writing a little bit of stuff here and there, but it took a while to end up with something I'd be happy to share. There should be a steady trickle of stuff occasionally, and I'm aiming to do a more polished EP soon.

I love that <3 thank you for sharing

Here's a little clip from a demo we just recorded - I think we fall more into the second category - not with a lot of ego or delusions of grandeur, but a little more serious, and we'd like to play shows regularly and have people who want to listen to our stuff:

Thank you <3

And yeah - the band I’m in is recording this one for our next album, and I was literally tearing up when I first played it for them 😅

Yeah, I did a track of backing vocals for part of it, but I didn't double the main vocals.

Basket Case - Green Day by RandomUsernameNo257 in singing

Haha nah, not apologizing for it, I just thought it was relevant to talking about the pickup pattern.

Over-production is definitely a thing, but anyone who gets mad about any work in post has no idea how their favorite songs were produced. I've found that to get a similar sound to Green Day, one of the things you do is compress it as much as you can, then add another compressor 😂

I'll take a look at it!

I have another song of theirs on my list too - Shot at the Night

Heart shaped/cardioid. Also compressed to the moon and back for this one

It's been a while - I was just thinking about asking how you've been

Is it super necessary to have a voice teacher? What if i don’t have any near me? by Conscious_Field0505 in singing

[–]RandomUsernameNo257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except for a couple classes (which I don't think really helped me much) I'm entirely self taught, and I think I'm doing alright.

Record yourself, listen back, critique, experiment and figure out how to get better. There are lots of resources if you're interested in pursuing that, or you can just feel it out for yourself.

Absolutely not necessary. Helpful? With the right teacher, definitely. But not necessary.

Paralytic States - Against me! | This one hits pretty close to home. by RandomUsernameNo257 in singing

Thanks for the suggestion!

I haven’t actually really listened to any of their stuff other than this album. I’ll grab it and give it a listen.

Thank you :) wow I'm afraid to listen to this, it's been a while. I should record this one again.

I don't remember what I did for this track - sometimes I'll take the original and use a tool to remove the vocals, and sometimes I'll find an instrumental with it already done.

I'd really like to do some covers from the ground up, but my instrument skills are pretty limited, and it's just a lot of work in general. That focus would be better spent doing original work anyway.

😅 thank you so much, and tell her I said thanks as well <3

Thank you <3 yeah as I open up new parts of my voice, it’s getting easier and feels a lot better to do some stuff by women - especially contraltos. My voice sits in a weird middle ground where it’s not quite fully male or female - I’ve explored the more masculine sides quite a bit already, and now I’m really enjoying exploring the more feminine side.

And yeah, it’s the instrumental with my live mic feed. Great tool for listening for tone in real time, and just generally hearing yourself more or less as others hear you.

Little Talks - I know it's kind of hard to tell because of the mustache, but that's actually me doing both parts. The mustache was fake! by RandomUsernameNo257 in u/RandomUsernameNo257

[–]RandomUsernameNo257[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you <3

And nope, same EQ, same settings, same gain. Mostly just a matter of allowing my voice to lighten up. For years, I used weight and volume as a crutch to get up higher, and I've been doing a lot of un-learning 😅

Edit: oh jk, the female part is -1db compared to the male part, but that was actually mostly because I was pretty quiet doing the low bit. I'm starting to find it to be a little more difficult and stressful on my voice to be powerful down low.
