fgl - well maybe that's because you havent heard me sing live yet. =P hahaha...
blueprintstudios - as unbelievable as it may seem, i am actually 25 yrs old and i have been singing my whole life. and so i have been criticised my whole life, and by the worse person imaginable. my mum. hahaha...!
i know i have no problems with lyrics, tempo and pronounciation. my main problems are pitch (i tend to go flat, yes, i get that alot) and feel (yes, people say i sing emotionalessly, i get that alot too). so basically all that every one has mentioned are points that i already know. hahaha...yeah, and plus the 'i shout when i sing'. which i totally, totally disagree. i'm just naturally loud. i know when i'm shouting or not.
maybe i get too cautious when i did the recordings, or when i sing infront of people? hence the lack of emotion. possibly, considering that i have absolutely no confidence in myself and i have low-self esteem. *surprise, surprise*
anyways, i really thank you for your 50cents worth.
