Good job singing on your insightful and humorous slices of life.

seeker...interesting (though over my head technically at times) read about formant.
However this led me to investigate their use further in my Melodyne Editor program and discovered how changing them can really fine tune a sound to get it just right where the pitch tool didn't quite do it.

Still new to Melodyne (truly amazing program) and have yet to avoid the occasional robotic,tekno slur often introduced when adjusting or moving a word or syllable.
Until I get that figured out I find I'm better off re-recording and re-recording (etc. etc. etc.) that section and focusing on getting it right in that way.

Actually surprising myself at times, so will definitely view my voice as "an instrument" to be practiced and hopefully improved on ...and accepted for what it is.

Thanks again to all for the continued info,inspiration and insight.

And remember....Life Is Always Plan B
