Let me ask you: Are you that rock and roll guy that was here a little while ago? Are you thinking of making a quick career out of this?
LOL... quick was never the thought. I have been taking lessons for years now, though to my ignorance I used/abused the knowledge to help me create a better rock sound. The ideal that I had does not seem to be something that will ever be realized. It seems that most progressive metal players need a singer who will give a "progressive metal" sound. Though a studio is a fun place to create different vocal sounds, it was far less satisfying than I had thought it would be. My original inspiration was to take some of the dynamic beauty of the classical sound and work that expressive power into the popular medium (the sound landscapes that can be created today are incredible). Though that is not what recording projects seem to want. In the past few months I have been asked numerous times to record aggressive vocals (the in style of the moment) because of the previous material I had recorded, but that stuff is an anomaly. If I had known that those were to be the styles on the cd I would have passed. The training has not been for naught. The first piece I have been working on with my new teacher has a few G's in it. The top is coming in. The new piece I'm working on is out of Cosi and has a number of A's in it (which are fine). The hardest part is not oversinging (that was needed in the rock styles for live shows), but there's no beauty in belting.
