Sandra,

Here's a little different point of view.

Your vocal chops are definitely not up to the high standards of your guitar playing. I agree with your own evaluation when you said:

Quote:

Personally I think I would need a lot of vocal training to be good enough for the CD.



You didn’t mention a time table for the release, but only you know if you have the time to take the vocal lessons and have them bear fruit in time for your release.

You also mentioned this:

Quote:

We can`t hire a singer, because it`s supposed to be my project (I`m the leader).



Because it is your project and you are the leader, only you can make the decision to hire a singer. If you want your CD to be the best it can be, and you know a singer, (or singers, since you have 3 vocals), that will make those songs better, there’s nothing wrong with a guest vocalist.

It’s still your project and you are still the leader.

Bob
