I, too, am open to any and all criticism.

Lilith, I have none for you, however. Fantastic all around thus far!

I probably could've given myself an extra take or two but I don't want to over-worry and end up making 30 takes because it would spiral from a few to that. Plus it's best not to put too much stress on my voice by singing for a long time. I'm sure what you've done has turned out great!

I have a realistic self-assessment of my strengths and weaknesses and can handle any constructive criticism leveled my way.

Thanks Dav! I look forward to yours as well!

The spiral was definitely a thing this time.

I would have tried to write suggestions/critiques for all the people who asked, but I don't know enough about proper singing technique to give constructive advice (especially not for male vocalists). I would be like those annoying design clients saying, "but can you make it POP more?"

You're all great. We're all having fun and it's a good time. :) I'm excited for this one, didn't have much time to record but I really rely it and relate with the song more than I thought I would

Okay due to a request, I am going to extend this round 24 hours. If you already submitted but want extra time, feel free to resubmit by deadline. If I don't get another submission from you, I will take the submission you gave.

OK I think I've got a take I'm happy with. Malk, do you want entries submitted via PM again?

In post 245, Mina wrote:By the way, you should all be very thankful I'm trying to give my vocal cords a rest, because I was tempted to subject you to more cat murder with this song.

"Wow," you may be thinking. "I had no idea you were able to belt some of those ridiculous high notes." To which my response would be, "...no, I most certainly can't, but I wasn't going to let that stop me." This time instead of abusing my vocal cords, I think I'll abuse my lungs instead.
I finally checked to see what song you were referring to, and I want you to know I seriously considered Candy Store.

You're welcome! I'm starting to hate
myself
for this category, though. It definitely looks like I'll wind up using the take I fuck up the
least

By the way, a tip for fellow phone users: if you're using Voice Memos and go to Settings, it's possible to change the recording quality to High. I did it this round, and the improvement is huge.

The amazing Julie Andrews of musical fame (I hope someone js doing a Julie Andrews song!) Recommends cyclical breathing if you fet too worked up or nervous before recording. I'll take her advice any day!

Omigod, that has basically been my life this round too! In the end, I wound up submitting a take with a couple of flaws because it was so hard to get one with no mistakes that also sounded good vocally. (Hoping Malkon took pity on me because of my song choice!)

This really makes you appreciate Broadway performers who do this live eight times a week and are always perfect.

Listening to my entry there's one note where I sing G instead of A-flat and even though nobody else will notice it it drives me crazy.
