Well it
CANNNNNNNNNN be. But when you're told to prepare to
sing like a jazzy lounge singer and they ask you to
jump at an octave higher and belt it out like an opera
singer... well, then it gets interesting. Today was a
fun challenge and hopefully the start of something
Gary and I have been trying to put together since
December 2011...
If you're
wondering, the first part of that song was the style
I prepared for, and the second part required more
belting. I could do it, but again, it was just
the opposite feel from what I thought we were
going for. This video was for the second song -
the first one was ENTIRELY high range belting. Quite
tiring. And believe me, if you want me to sing
Morrissey/Harry Connick Jr type stuff, I roll out of
bed without even warming up...
...you want me to
belt shit above F in full voice? Yeah, I need to
prepare for that. Of course I was there for 6
hours so my voice eventually opened up.
LOL.
What a joy to be
in real studios though. I made this my cover photo on
Facebook like a NERD because it's just nice to be at
home:
If you don't think
I dream of turning the GolfKon Guesthouse into a
studio like this? You're out of your mind. I would
live here. When I was in radio and had access
to this stuff? I lived at WTVN and CD101.
I could've spent all night there (the other peeps may
have considering how slow the process was going).
So we'll see where
all this leads. What I was singing was a track
for a trailer that will be shown at e3 this year. If
it all works out, I may have to go there as it
will be crazy to come full circle. In 2002 and 2003
I was there as part of Planet GameCube but
I soon lost interest in going because it was
just, so, loud and zzzzzzzzzzzzz. I just didn't
have the passion for the swag and gamer stuff. I still
don't, but it might be cool to see this trailer and
hear my voice in front of everyone.
And can you
believe it? On Thursday, even MORE career stuff
back on the RADIO no less. Whew! Can't Slow
Down.
Well,
I slowed to a stop and am starting to crawl a
little. ;-) By this rate I may be walking by the time
Vienna is. ;-)
