Great addition to SS. I hope it takes off.

 

I sang a capella in college and performed all over the country and in Asia over those 4 years. It taught me a lot about commitment and connection. My most enduring friendships are with the 14 women I sang with in 8-part harmony almost 30 years ago. Now I am content to sing mainly for my own enjoyment but also to gauge the “singability” of the lyrics I write, in terms of delivery, and emotional connection. I’d like to hear more of the singers’ perspectives to enhance my lyric writing. ~T

Beautiful.

I am not a live performance singer.  Not good enough for that. But I can do a decent vocal when I approach it as painting with sound. I eventually get the texture  I want when I record.

I'm a singer-songwriter-lyricist-topline writer.  I've written for 30 years.  My vocal range is baritone - about the same as Garth Brooks.  I formerly sang with a Jazz Chorus in Springfield Oregon.

Painting with sound; that's a very interesting way to look at the voice!

 

Why would you say you aren't good enough for live? What do you think is the primary challenging in that regard?
