Along the way, I've had different advice from different music producers. I've been told to tone it down, that the quiet parts of my voice are appealing and there's harshness to the loud part of my voice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've watched and learnt from DJs and remixers and paid way more attention to how I want my voice to sound. Before, as long as it was loud and in tune it was fine. I've discovered the difference made by various microphones and effects, so each track has a different vocal sound, my voice is woven into everything and it's above everything.
I know how to treat my voice to make it sound as good as it possibly can - which is still not that good.
I think, when I started writing songs, my voice just became another tool. It wasn't something that I was going to try desperately to woo a listener. As long as I'm using my voice in a way that helps people understand what I'm trying to say, then I feel like I'm doing all right.
My voice sucks. I don't like the tone.
I don't sing very loud, which some people have given me trouble about, but we all have to figure out what our voices are, embrace that.
Actually, I think the average voice is like 70 percent tone and 30 percent noise. My voice is 95 percent noise.
I do have a bit of a gravelly voice; people have told me I've got a good voice for radio.
I don't take care of my voice at all, which is one reason that I sound as bad as I do.
People often ask me how I developed my vocal sound, and the answer usually disappoints them: 'It's just the way I sound when I sing.'
I do everything all wrong, but I think for me that's the best, because I don't think I have a voice.
