I understand the voice stretching capability thing. I am a classically trained lyric 1st soprano and here I am having to sing songs like..White Room by Cream. We aren't really a cover band because our "director" for lack of a better word arranges them so different from the original and adds the instrument solos and such that they don't sound a whole lot like the originals. I think it's really helped my vocal abilities in the long run because I have had to stretch my chest voice range upward. Whereas before I could usually only get up to a G and sound pretty good I can now get up to a D. I wouldn't do this for church music now. It's just a total different sound to my voice for this style. It really helped me when I was playing Bloody Mary in South Pacific in Feb. That was so much fun! I found out that we, and when I say we I mean our High Point Community Theatre, are doing Into The Woods. I'm excited! Each show I get a better and better part. One day I will get a true lead. Bloody Mary was a lead technically but I wanted her. She was SOOO much more fun to play than Nellie would have been. I love to be able to play a character with depth. Bloody Mary was so funny but so intelligent. I got to do funny and serious in one role while maintaining a rather humorous Tonkinese accent. Now if you can make them gasp at the seriousness of the scene without laughing at your accent you know you have accomplished something. I belong to a site called rifftrader.com so when I get the final demo up I will let you know so you can hear it. :) I love celtic music. Gee, it must be something in the blood. hehe Or the hair. hmm Charlotte Church does a Welsh lullaby that is SO beautiful and I would love to sing..but I think if I tried to sing in Gaelic I would sound like I was hacking up a hairball. I have a Scottish friend and he said inevitably when someone tries to immitate a Welsh accent they end up sounding Pakistani. haha Oh yeah..this site has soemthing to do with Topomax doesn't it? hehe
