With your vocal style you can definitely tell that you're a fan of Johnny Cash! The arrangement was really good, and I think you did a great job. Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Ember

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks a lot for your kind and encouraging message Dan. Couldn't agree more about the great subject matter we have. I had a look at your link to your music and was very blessed by it - thankyou and as you said to me "keep up the Good Work". Gav

(just a little bit of background to the song - I am part of a group who do street outreach and I try to write songs that are outreach focused for that ministry - it's one that I use a lot on the street - I write worship songs too but this one was written primarily for the non believer - just to give a bit of context).

Welcome to the forum! There are a lot of very talented and helpful folks here.

This is a really nice intro to your music. I think the vocal is just fine. And the "band" does its job as it should. Nice choice of tracks. Wishing you the very best. Take care ...
