But I was thinking more of female vocals a tone lower. Is that possible in this case?
I could have changed the key, but I think high and slightly strained sound is part of the style.

I had/have a female singer (a real one), but her voice was too high for some songs. And she couldn't sing lower, or, well..., than it didn't sound so good.
We took a break...
Although I primarily accompany on piano these days, I started out on guitar. We'd transpose songs in a heartbeat if they felt like they were out of range.

And since my range is less than impressive, that's a habit I've carried on.

But again - I think stylistically is was a good match.

The song itself is beautiful, that's not the point. I don't want you to have a little break with your singers wink
She's got a whole instrumental interlude to catch her breath.

Who needs more of a break than that? (Cue Van Halen - "One break, coming up!) wink

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