Thanks Al&Di,

It's good to have you guys back on the forum. Keep on posting them songs!

I've always liked to emulate the sound and singing style of various singers I grew up with. This has helped me enormously with developing my own vocal style, while, apparently, still maintaining my own "sound" haha. Actually in the past I wasn't always too pleased with this, because I really wanted to sound like this or that....
Speaking of which, it has taken me many years and an endless list of recordings trying to improve my singing.
In my early years I recorded lots of songs and then let people take a listen to them. The response would always be, without exception, "well, it sounds okay but it's a little too sweet, and we are not sensing any real emotion"
That was really frustrating, grrrr, because I could feel the emotion while singing, but somehow was unable project it in my vocals.
For some reason this is getting easier now that I'm getting older (don't know why exactly).
Some of my true idols/examples have always been the singers of the movie version of Jesus Christ superstar. Especially Carl Anderson and Ted Neely (Judas and Christ). The sheer emotion they could manifest in their singing, the intensity of it and the switching from a, normal vocal to an almost screaming voice, while still maintaining completely in key. I thought that was perfect.

Luckily both Anne-Marie and me can keep on growing and experimenting with lots of songs and vocal styles with this great program!
