It can be addictive and then you never really learn to sing. Work on your chops. Get a voice coach. Anything!Using RTs and such is one thing but to Dr. your voice or playing to the point that you're showing off something you can't do & calling it you is sort of weird. JMHO. I'm not really that humble but trying to be better.




the way one looks at this depends on what the person hopes to accomplish. For myself, I'm not interested in making music to exalt myself or even to show what I can do. To me, music is an elevated concept which stands or falls on the merit of how it sounds, and even on its ability to move the emotions of its listeners.

To that end, MY goal is to write and record songs that have a message I consider to be significant and worthy of being heard, and I don't want my personal inadequacies to interfere with that goal. It isn't about me at any stage of the production, its all about the idea and the message.

Do you consider it to be less weird to play along with music that has been recorded by someone else, and call it a song you wrote? I have my own answer to that question, but in the context of this exchange, its a question worth asking.
