Lately I've felt like I've had voice issues similar to yours. I have a pretty wide range, but where I actually sound good (in my opinion) is difficult to utilize masterfully. For me, my voice is the strongest when I'm singing choral pieces, even if the range isn't ideal. My voice is just great for that kind of singing in my opinion. I'm okay with that, because I love choral music, but I do like to sin other stuff too.
@WormyLeWorm I never been in chorus, but I can imagine my voice not sounding very good. You know part of me debates even if I was never interested in singing back then I'd probably have better control in my voice. I have a limited range, but lack control in the range I think is right for me. I know if i sing and get paid, id probably make a fool out of myself. But i just listend to Nirvana silver album that has many live home recordings. His voice really isn't that great but made money
@WormyLeWorm Maybe there is hope for me after all, i just think that when i look back on life i just want to say trav you tried your dream, whether you made it or not you tried, and u tried hard. I dont think id be disspaointed but i feel dissapointed cause maybe i can try harder, not sure why i feel that way.
You really don't have to be that great of a singer to make a living off of it. (The great thing about choir, too, is that, in my experience, if you put the effort into singing properly you sound amazing as a group even if your individual singing isn't that good.) There's definitely hope for you as long as you enjoy what you do and have the right attitude.
I'm definitely very critical of myself as well but life is full of experiences like when you listened to Nirvana; If you have that kind of attitude you often realize that you give yourself a lot less credit and it makes you feel awesome.
@WormyLeWorm It does man,l mean truth be told, it doesn't always take a voice to play and perform. It takes following through, and working hard for it. I find numerous comments on how "untalented" limp bizkit is" that he has realy poor content, but I look at his videos and he has a numerous following of views. There is always a brighter side to things.
I think singing can sound good when it's mixed right. Like when a band/group/etc. plays live, they have a soundcheck so that way everything can be conveyed excellently for the audience, it's like mixing in a studio.
You're singing in this piece is not bad, but to sing live in the studio, I suggest you do overlays, compress it, add reverb, and all of that junk. :P Make it fit with the arrangement more.
Your singing is MUCH better than K. Cobain's "In Utero" vocals.
@ComposerSyterious thats good to know! I must of added 2 ozone layers with a vocal compression on this with a limiter to take off the excess scuff on top. This was more of a test. I rarely sing at this level actiually but part of me think this lower octave suits me better wish i could put as much energy in it as mcuh as possible. One of the interesting with with pearl jam is that i dont think eddie layers his voice or doubles it that often. I listend to his review mirror greatest hits .
@ManHoPark And i think he simple has very scruffled voice, so he can pull it off. I haven't quite decided when I sing, if i need to what my focus hsould be, debating grunge rock, or heavy metal such as Serj tankians sky is over cd which featured a piano. I thought mixing kid rock with pearl jam may be interesting to focus on.
Haha, this is awesome. Do you know the Crash Test Dummies? xD

@ManHoPark I say you continue experimenting more, I bet you saw that coming from me. Haha. Do more covers and see how it turns out.
Overlays is an option, I suggested it because I do it a lot when I record singing. :P
