Oh, and The Lumen Tree is an oil lamp shadow projector that will project the image from an acid-etched, stainless steel tree onto a wall when placed on a shelf or mantelpiece. Created by inventor and artist Adam Frank.

I've never been able to sing in front of anybody. Are you kidding--give me a break. At the same time, I think I have a fair voice and I'm not tone deaf.
I can sometimes play my guitar in front of people but I never sing when I do so.

I go back and forth between adequate and super-lame.
It's a total crapshoot. |

Yeah, This is good advice. Rob has also given good advice. Sing acapella into a recording device and listen back and go "this sucks" and work on it and find exactly how your voice operates. Then some form of structure and melody will flow pretty consistantly once your voice comes subconciously.

I think he's more asking how to construct vocal melodies, vocal approach etc.

well i don't know, i just sing. my voice has an airy quality about it even when i sing loudly. and if it doesn't feel nice or right coming out of your throat/mouth you're probably not singing very well.

In that case I'd say it comes in time. Maybe you have to have a bit of a pop sensibility, I'm not sure. |

write a guitar melody then try harmonizing around that to find a new melody to which to sing, then lose the guitar melody

I wish I knew. Someday (after I take singing and acting lessons) I'll be on Broadway...

I sing a lot and I love to sing. I am ok but no Diamanda Galas for sure. Some tips: - Practice your singing along disparate stuff, from crooning to whatever other style you fancy practising along to. This will get your voice aquainted to different vocal approaches that might not even be what you're aiming at, plus it will boost your confidence. Record everything that you sing along to and don't be put off if you listen back to it and think that you sound like shite. The point is to find out what your vocal range is capable of and feels comfortable with, so it becomes all good experience. - Stretch your vocal cords before you actually sing. This exercise helps relaxing you both physically and mentally and it also makes you less prone to just mess around with your singing. Focusing on what you are singing is just as important, whatever the style. - Get a soul and off you go! |

I sound really great after about 3 beers. My guitar playing vastly improves too.
