The music's like a swirling galaxy of sound, all cool and atmospheric. But right now, your voice sounds like it's trying to shout instructions from the back of the spaceship. Let that incredible voice of yours soar and not just be there. We need to hear you! ◝(^⌣^)◜
Dig deep into that story, whatever it is – heartbreak, existential angst, the price of bread these days – and sell it to us like you're pitching the last life raft on the Titanic. Unleash the inner rock god! The music's already laying down the red carpet, just strut your stuff along it.
The music’s fantastic, atmospheric and wonderfully Ray-esque, but it’s there to boost the story, not bury it. Think about unleashing a bit more raw emotion. Let that story come roaring through!
My challenge to you, cobber, is to make me care about what you're singing. Drag me into that story! Unleash the vocal beast within!
So Ray, listen to my "advice" at your peril, but hey, you do have all my platinum records don't you? 😁
🙃
Thanks for the detail Izzy.
Sadly my voice isn't strong enough to emote...a passive, matter of fact evenness is all I can manage with lots of rehearsing, tracking, comping and tech manglement.
I have, however, boosted the vocal level just a little because your were so emphatic about my lack of emotion - when in doubt - crank it, I suppose.

Cheers
