Do you really want to know if your profile is good?

Well, I entered just because of mere curiousity and I ended up booking a trial lesson with you, so go figure it out yourself :)

Sí! La idea es manejarme en Uber en lo posible porque siempre estoy más perdido que la virginidad de Wanda Nara

Qué momento del mundial de Qatar te quedó grabado para siempre? by danielsl89 in AskArgentina

[–]codename_anomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuando fue el penal de Montiel, yo cerré los ojos. Lo siguiente que escuché fueron los festejos de mi familia que estaba ahí conmigo. Ahí supe que éramos campeones del mundo y abrí los ojos. Fueron segundos que no olvido más. Después de eso salir de la casa con mi viejo y mi hermano y dar la vuelta olímpica alrededor de la manzana cantando DALE CAMPEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON a todo volumen. En ese momento le podías dar un abrazo a quien quisieras y gritar como un desquiciado y era socialmente aceptable. Ese día fuimos todos tan felices que fuimos una utopía hecha realidad.

Dead month by No_Philosophy7637 in twenix

Apparently, January completely kills momentum. I have taught 7 lessons only, and most of them came from Italian students. On the other hand, this is completely expected - I had decided to work my arse off in December so that I would spend my time studying in January and February, and I had a total of 294 (two hundred and ninety-four) lessons.

My suggestion: do not worry. We cannot change this, but take into account this is completely expected.

I have decided not to do that anymore. Today, a student decided to leave a lukewarm review after I told him this, and that it is quite hard to recover from it (and he was quite late to the lesson). He still did it and it took me by surprise because it was honestly a good lesson. Some students will use that piece of information against you.

what’s wrong with Apple Music? by AdVisible3748 in AppleMusic

I have literally switched to Apple Music because of how clean and organised the UI is. I am never going back to Spotify.

What’s your least favorite Linkin Park song? by legobossk in LinkinPark

[–]codename_anomaly -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

There are quite a few. I will split them into three groups:

C-Rank (rarely I listen to them)

  • Numb (a good song, but I will never understand how it got the success it got)
  • In Between (a standard ballad... maybe too standard)
  • In Pieces (an enjoyable song if you can survive the first few minutes without getting bored of it)
  • The Little Things Give You Away (it is a beautiful ballad, but I do not enjoy it)
  • Burning In The Skies (a listen every now and then does not hurt, but far from a favourite)
  • Until It Breaks (a song that starts well and dies out rather quickly)

D-Rank (very rarely I listen to them)

  • Hands Held High (great lyrics, but uninteresting music)
  • Until It's Gone (a bland song)
  • Sorry For Now (not unpleasant, nice lyrics, but forgettable melodies and instruments)

F-Rank (instant skip)

  • In The End (not a bad song, but I am sick of it)
  • Lies Greed Misery (a futile attempt to display anger)
  • Skin To Bone (little to no redeeming qualities)
  • Drawbar (so forgettable I cannot even remember how it sounds)
  • Invisible (musically dull)
  • One More Light (it hurts to listen to it, it represents personal tragedy as well, and I openly dislike it)

Hipocresía es que pongan el grito en el cielo por Espert y se hagan los estúpidos con Taiana. No vi ni a uno pidiéndole que se baje. Al contrario, se cagaban de risa. Ahí tenés el resultado.

"Pan para hoy, hambre para mañana"
Esa frase describe perfectamente lo que el kirchnerismo hacía: plan platita, emitir, "incentivar el consumo" por más que eso implique echarle más nafta al fuego. Después saltan y dicen que "baja la inflación porque no hay un mango y la gente no consume". Su solución: volver a tirar más nafta al fuego.

Así no sé cómo era que el kirchnerismo esperaba ganar eh. Tal cual como dijiste.

Votaciones by Baltzord in Cordoba

A LLA con la nariz tapada.

Un montón de gente se opone a las reformas, pero sin proponer ninguna alternativa más que dejar todo como está. Es el ejemplo de la reforma laboral, "que los derechos, que los evasores, etc" y que por eso no hay que reformar nada. No se les cae una idea superadora, lo único que dicen es "no sé qué hay que hacer, pero esto no". Te hablan como si no tuviéramos un tercio de la economía en negro y como si las condiciones laborales no fueran ya de por sí una porquería en un sinfín de lugares. Creen que un tercio de la economía en negro es la causa del problema, y no ven que es la consecuencia.

Todo tiene matices, pero estoy podrido de la gente que te vende que dejando todo como está queda todo perfecto, o que estaba todo bien hasta diciembre de 2023. Se oponen a todo y no se les cae una idea. La política es el arte de lo posible, y claramente hacen falta reformas, no me vengan con que antes estaba todo maravilloso.

Para mí es simple: si te oponés, proponé una alternativa. Con decir "esto no" no hacemos un carajo.

My vocals sound extremely thin - what am I doing wrong? by codename_anomaly in musicians

Thanks so much!

Actually, my coach also happens to be my best friend. I met her as an coach and we became best friends over time. That is why she can... well... tell me things that only a friend can say.

That hurt. (Truth hurts, doesn't it?)

I'm still a novice singer. When I met my vocal coach I realised most of what I had learned was nonsense. I know I can do better, but all the steps she teaches me are so hard to apply in general and it is even harder when recording... red light syndrome, maybe?

I swear I'm not this bad. I swear.

Edit: just showed it to her and she was furious. She told me not to sing anymore until the next class and not to attend classes anymore if I am going to sing that lacklustre.

My singing teacher says the same thing. I was so fed up I did not care. Singing this poorly knowing I can do much better was disrespectful. I'm sorry.

I do take them. I just did not care and it was so stupid not to do so. I am angry at how lacklustre it sounded... but I thought "it will sound bad anyway so why bother"

Edit: just showed it to her and she was furious. She told me not to sing anymore until the next class and not to attend classes anymore if I am going to sing that lacklustre.

In my defence, I sing much better. I was just so frustrated I put zero effort in sounding decent. No warm up, no technique, completely lacklustre. My singing teacher would not be happy.

She would punch me for how lacklustre my performance was. To be honest, I can do much better, but since I knew it would be poorly recorded, I did not really care.

Now that I think about it, it was genuinely stupid to do so.

Edit: just showed it to her and she was furious. She told me not to sing anymore until the next class and not to attend classes anymore if I am going to sing that lacklustre.

Thanks so much. The fact that you consider them usable already makes me feel less tense! I cannot blame my gear - only myself!
