Nice write! As Deej said, a sincere vocal is better than a perfect vocal. smile

Good arrangement as well. Enjoyable listen.

Sometimes I need to remember to say that before getting all nit-picky and stuff.

I don't know what DAW you're using, but almost all of them will allow you to cut words up and slide them around in time. One of the first things I do with my own vocals is slice them up and normalize them, and then make sure they're aligning the way I want them to. A bit tedious, so you obviously don't want to do that on every word. But hitting the rhythm on the strong beats.

Do this before pitch correction, obviously! wink

If you start using something like Melodyne - and I'm not saying you need to - make sure you focus on singing the notes as "well" as you can. Speaking from personal experience, when you reach for a note out of your range, all sorts of nasty things can happen to bork up the timbre. So even if pitch correction moves the note to the correct pitch, all the scratch/straining/wobble will go with it. It's best to sing the note as high as you can sing it well (after all, some strain adds emotion to the note), and then pitch correct if it's only semi-tone or so off.

I don't want to give the impression I'm writing all this because you're vocal is bad! I just figured if you're going that route I'd give some tips.

Again, nice song! laugh

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