My vocal ability is very limited, but I'm fortunate in that I can write the songs around my vocal limitations.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I can sing, but it takes an incredible amount of work for me to sound acceptable.
It's a rare combination to have someone who can write songs and sing well.
My writing voice is a little quirkier, more singer-songwriter-y than the Top 40 stuff I cover.
I'm very conscious of developing my singing, technically and stylistically. I want it to become more individual, express more of me. That's my goal. These songs are steps along that way.
But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story.
I believe I can sing anything.
I always knew I couldn't sing, but I also knew I had a voice that isn't heard by many, and that I could learn how to stretch it and make songs sound good.
When I write songs for myself it's really personal and I just can't have someone else singing it.
I found it was really impossible for me to write songs when I couldn't sing.
I realized that there was much more to my voice than I'd ever been led to explore and that I could make my own songs.
