Hey, guys! Read through, listened to all your recordings.
(Well, only a few of McClellans, to be honest, but I don't think either of us really expected someone to listen to all of it.) I tried to combine them all into one mp3, but it didn't go well... at all. We each sang at different speeds, and even when I tried increasing/decreasing the tempo (Audacity is a godsend), we were still singing at different keys. :\
Captain McClellan: You're actually pretty capable of carrying a tune, although you appear to have a little difficulty with switching notes - your voice wavers a bit immediately after you switch. You seemed to slow down more, the further into the song you went, but when I listened to it a second time... it wasn't there, so I think my ears must've been playing tricks.
And no, I'm not really a tenor. I can actually hit the notes that Mr Frog sang, and most of them comfortably. My voice doesn't
sound as deep when he does it, though, because I have a hard time with applying force, the deeper I go, but they're the same pitch. I'm not sure what it is. I can do it if I'm thinking about it, but it just doesn't feel natural. I guess I just need practice. I'll record something with me singing Frog-deep later, if I get the opportunity.
On that note, bravo, Mr Frog! I wouldn't have expected that to sound so good (you've been unnecessarily hard on yourself in our conversations, and it was misleading). There were a few places where you were noticeably off-key, but they seemed to just be flukes. You hit the notes, though.
Lolfail - mmm. I'm just going to second what everybody else said. I've heard worse, though - you should hear my youngest brother tarzan through twinkle-twinkle little star.
I'm not a tenor, though. :\ Can't hit half the notes. My voice just sounds higher than it really is. I have no idea why, and I don't know how to explain it. I'll show you when I get that recording of me trying to match Mr Frog. (which means his voice is going on my MP3 player, lol) It'll make it more obvious
And I got the LINE PIECE reference, yay.
Finally, chapter productivity is up. I managed a chapter each, the past two days, both over 4k words. I think I've gotten everything I needed down in my notes, so it's full steam ahead at this point. Mostly.
