Hi, Will.

Interesting beginning. The guitars definitely have Tom Petty vibe.

I enjoyed the song - nice pop sound! smile

The vocal sounds fine, but only a bit like Tom Petty. That's normal, because even with the best vocal cloning software, the underlying performance needs to sound like the target in order to create a credible cloned vocal.

And that's probably best from a legal standpoint.

Legally, the use of sound-alike vocals is prohibited (except for instances like parody) by the Right of Publicity, which protects against the misappropriation of a person’s name, likeness, and even voice for commercial benefit.

Tennessee has passed the "ELVIS Act", which prohibits the unauthorized cloning of someone's voice by AI. It's likely to be followed by similar legislation at the state and national level.

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