If I feel strongly, I say it. I know I can do more good by being vocal than by staying quiet. I'd have a whole lot more money if I lied, but I wouldn't enjoy spending it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.
I'm never going to take the view that I should say whatever I need to say in order to achieve something. Because that implies a level of dishonesty.
The problem is I'm a perfectionist, so the producer might say he's happy with my vocal take but I'll say, 'No, it can be better.' I'll do it again and again until I feel I've got the truth out of a song.
I think it's a given that people know what I can do vocally.
I don't believe that recordings should sound radically better than the artist, I think that's dishonest. For example, I'm not a great singer but if I spent enough time tweaking my vocals, I could sound like one. But I don't, what you hear is pretty much what I sing.
I see no reason to keep silent about my enjoyment of the sound of my own voice as I work.
I always enjoy rhythms and melodies, but I always use my voice as more of an instrument and less of a soapbox for me to say or to preach.
In singing, you cannot 'cheat' if you want to give emotions to those who are listening. You must have something to tell.
Even if I don't have the money to take vocal lessons, I'll practice in the house by myself singing out loud.
I would say that I'm finding my voice in more ways than one.
