Task #4: Phono Project

From Supergiant's Hades. Recorded this a couple months ago and forgot all about it until now - a pleasant surprise from my past self.

Good Riddance

Moonfall - Edwin Drood - Cover

A cover of "The National Pastime" from SMASH! 

The audio is pretty crappy as I have terrible recording equipment (using the microphone on my computer). I was using a karaoke track from youtube, the user is Smash4U2sing, in case anyone is interested. 

I'm still trying to find a balance between the background music and my own vocals. I was trying not to sing at full voice since the recording can't really sustain it, but I wanted to sound like I was supporting my voice. This is the result, and I'm not really happy with it. 

Plus, I sound nothing like Marilyn, so this may be a bit unnatural. My speaking voice is a lot lower, although I am a soprano.

The National Pastime cover

Well, okay, this one turned out slightly better. I'm still trying this weird mix of head voice and chest voice. Maybe it's working?

Anyhow, this is "Second Hand White Baby Grand" from SMASH! I'll probably be covering a great deal of Smash. As well as a lot of Broadway. 



Second Hand White Baby Grand

Yes, another Smash cover. 

I do like the karaoke for this one, piano comes through the best on my audio. 

Sorry about some of the parts in the middle, my microphone just doesn't like to support high notes.
