Is it possible that I may have found my vocal chain?
Continuing my journey in developing my vocal chain, I've decided to cover this beautiful piece of music from Brent Morgan called "What Dreams Are Made Of), which was originally sung by Hillary Duff - just in-time for the coming #valentinesday next month. This is also an excellent #weddingsong for those who are tying the knot.
The piano accompaniment • What Dreams Are Made Of - Brent Morgan (Pi... is courtesy of @KaraoKeysPH where they have quite a good selection of piano accompaniment. I believe I am making good progress with it so far and I'm hoping to eventually record my second single soon.
I also decided to get a little artistic and made a simple music video for this cover song.
Another one of my #diy project is to design my study / mixing studio on the first floor (second floor for the Americans). I want it to have the vibe of Gryffindor common room, but more modern - a mix of the wizarding world and the muggle world.
After a year moving to Surrey, I finally managed to sort out my bedroom, where I made many of the furniture and fixtures using old garden furniture and old IKEA wardrobe that broke during moving.
Slowly but surely my vocal chain and mixing technique is improving. It's not there yet but I am better than I was before. I took it up a notch this time by…
Slowly but surely my vocal chain and mixing technique is improving. It's not there yet but I am better than I was before. I took it up a notch this time by covering Robbie William's song, Angel, which I recorded in one take alongside this video.
This song does not only tests my mixing technique but it also tests my vocal range as a baritone, as it goes up to G4. I do have to admit however it took me a few weeks to master the smooth transition between the F4 key to the G4 key. This song also forces me to learn EQ technique to reduce the grittiness from the vocal. I don't think I did a bad job but I'm sure it can be better.
Coincidentally, this song comes at a perfect timing as I thought it is a good song to celebrate Mother's Day, or Mothering Sunday for the religious. So to all mother's around the world, I dedicate this song to you - Happy Mother's Day. Not just birth or biological mothers, but also mother figures or maternal figures to those. And speaking of which, I think it's a good time for me dedicate this Aunt Doreen in London and Carroll in Cornwall. I hope both of you have a wonderful Mother's Day, and Carroll, I'll see you on your birthday next month!
Also a special thanks to @AcousticLounge for the acoustic guitar backing of this song, • Angels - Robbie Williams (Acoustic karaoke)

p/s Just look at my knackered headphone! I definitely need to get a new one.
