Hi, Dan. Like your arrangement of this song, and your booming chest voice is both quite pleasing and appropriate to the material. Some of the individual words/syllables are not perfectly held and/or pitched. This COULD be fixed in "post processing" with the right tools. My voice isn't so different, and I do this when I need to. Melodyne Studio is my (pricey) go-to for vocal fixes. The trick with Melodyne on vocals is subtlety. Very easy to get the "T-Pain effect" or glitching artifacts, which may not be what you're after. On the other hand, your vocals as-is don't ruin my enjoyment of the song. So there's that.

Over time I've realized that (for me) getting the vocals right-as-possible BEFORE processing is far more efficient and musically pleasing than fixing things later. So I sing multiple takes and use a composite vocal. On days when my voice isn't cooperating, I don't record vocals at all. I've got time to wait them out. smile

Haven't heard "Die With a Smile" before, but then again I wouldn't know Bruno Mars or Lady Gaga if they delivered a pizza to my door. Nice tune though. Back to my cozy log now...

Ha!
