If you listen to the left track on their album, if you get The Best of the Mamas and Papas, you listen to the left track, you can still hear a little bit of my voice. My son discovered that once.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My role in the Mamas and Papas was basically just to sing.
I got more used to my own voice, but still it's hard for me to listen to my own voice, or hear the recordings.
I don't know many singers who actually do like the sound of their own voice.
I started to like my voice - the sound of it. So then I started to listen to it as something separate. To me, it sounded good that way as well.
I don't even think my voice is really good.
I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.
Voices are like fingerprints, from Cagney to Bogart. They never lost it. My voice is instrumental in categorizing me.
The thrill of hearing your own voice recorded is still there, I still love it, going into the studio and thinking how can I sing this song and between the producers and the musicians you find a way of doing it.
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.
As I got older, my voice got better.
