[Flubbernugget]

Everybody had great auditions but Jesus Christ, give Flubbernugget the $10,000.

<3 <3 <3

Also nth for being here for your submissions. If you have any tips on learning to harmonize my ear is open!

[Flubbernugget]

For what it's worth, I think you have a nice voice!

nth! you have a really nice timbre to your voice that I enjoyed listening to a lot!

nth to this also !

[Flubbernugget]

ahhhhhhhh i am having decision paralysis over this theme

[Flubbernugget]

it's all i listen to so i'm having the opposite problem lmao

[Flubbernugget]

do rock operas count? that might be closer to your style if so

[Flubbernugget]

I used cymbal hits to cover up my voice cracking in something i recorded for a personal project

[Flubbernugget]

i added a very small amount of reverb/delay because the microphone I am using is designed to be extremely dry, so the sound would be a little uncanny without it. I also did several live takes like TBone, but I punched a single part where my laptop glitched out. I didn't do any automation/pitch correcting/time shifting etc to hide mistakes.

I can switch over to cell phone recordings if that would make everyone more comfortable

[Flubbernugget]

Same here

[Flubbernugget]

I'm picking a risky song, but ah well, nothing ventured nothing gained.

You're not the only one!!

I should have my submission by the end of today

[Flubbernugget]

Photos is pretty good for quick stuff

[Flubbernugget]

Okay I'm going to try the Google drive thing this time wish me luck

[Flubbernugget]

Haha I fucked up

[Flubbernugget]

Lol

Tbf I got the google drive thing correct

[Flubbernugget]

That has me hype

[Flubbernugget]

Spoiler:

don't worry I have my share of cat death too

[Flubbernugget]

green day as well i think

[Flubbernugget]

ooof I was thinking about doing the same song and had no idea how to work that last part into my voice

[Flubbernugget]

let me know if anyone wants specific feedback from me - this is probably the one category I'd feel comfortable talking about

Oh yeah, I'll sign up for this.

Also /in

[Flubbernugget]

I was gonna do the same song as tool and I'm glad I didnt

Wow!

[Flubbernugget]

Are key changes to accommodate vocal range fair game?

[Flubbernugget]

Hey Malkon,
I usually have to sing early in the morning, like within an hour of getting up, not just because I don't want to bug my roommates for which this timing is optimal, but also because they watch tv SO LOUDLY that, from another room with the doors in between closed, it actually overwhelms my own voice in live chats and therefore does not work for this sort of thing.

Do you have any tips for how I can warm up or essentially stretch my vocal cords in the morning? I know it's not a optimal time for vocal recordings but it's the only time I can make work most days.

I don't know how well this generalizes but I personally have a reflux issue that makes it hard to sing in the morning. What usually helps is not eating 2 hours before going to bed, and if possible, sleeping and an angle instead of flat.

Try to drink plenty of water in the morning before singing as well

[Flubbernugget]

Nth waiting for Dav if that's okay

think this is the official stance by now but I want to express approval as well

[Flubbernugget]

Use a text to speech robot

Spoiler:

[Flubbernugget]

I just submitted mine. Got sidetracked from sending the recording, my bad.

[Flubbernugget]

I'm playing guitar (poorly lmao F chords can get fucked) in mine bc doing anything i could think of without massively lowering the key was a hard no

[Flubbernugget]

Holy shit that's amazing

[Flubbernugget]

What is eurovision?

[Flubbernugget]

Part of me wants to get country out of the way sooner than later

[Flubbernugget]

confirm country

[Flubbernugget]

That list wikipedia list has a thing called cowpunk and I'm morbidly curious

[Flubbernugget]

Submitted!

[Flubbernugget]

I know I'm cutting close to deadline but I mistakenly expected there to be an instrumental track online for the song I chose. Gotta improvise!

[Flubbernugget]

Fuck it, I still have no voice, and my attempts to pull off easier songs keep bombing.

So instead of dropping out, I might as well have fun and go out in a blaze of glory. Last-minute way too ambitious song change, let's go!

On second thought...I'm not subjecting anyone to that.

Same lmao

[Flubbernugget]

My song choice was perhaps a tad ambitious but I love the song and I'm happy I did it

frickin falsettos are

killer

, man

Wait I think we did the same thing

[Flubbernugget]

Also yes the breath support is insanely fucking hard for it ;~;

[Flubbernugget]

Yes but were they all ambitious and

killer

[Flubbernugget]

Counterpoint: Falsetto is

fun

.

By the way, did you know that it wasn't until the 1950s that people started to accept the premise that women could sing falsetto? Every time I remember that I still can't believe it.

I assume they just referred to it as head voice?

[Flubbernugget]

Awe

[Flubbernugget]

Submitted!

I uhhhhh don't feel too good about this one either but we'll see what happens

[Flubbernugget]

I couldn't do this one from my cell phone because of the dynamics and the mic positioning for my studio setup was really rough

[Flubbernugget]

Are you using a reference note before singing a capella?

[Flubbernugget]

My best example of this would be in Dreamgirls, "And I am Telling You I'm Not Going" was not originally done for the movie, however "Listen" was. So I would accept "Listen", but not "And I am Telling You...".

Would you mind expanding on this example more? I am not familiar with dreamgirls, and a quick wikipedia skim shows both songs were in the broadway musical and the movie

[Flubbernugget]

Also congrats hasch!

[Flubbernugget]

oooof I think that knocks out jesus christ superstar and rocky horror picture show

[Flubbernugget]

actually I'm not 100% sure how to look for songs that fit this category. I don't have much knowledge in musical films, and all of the ones I know started as plays. Idk how to tell whether or not the songs were written for the play instead of the musical if they're listed like this

[Flubbernugget]

Oh, duh. That's a good point.

[Flubbernugget]

Omg toolenuso that intro was epic

[Flubbernugget]

anyone else do a last minute song change?

[Flubbernugget]

YO I HAD A CHANCE TO DO CHRIS CORNELL LAST ROUND????

[Flubbernugget]

also who got eliminated? I only see greens and yellows

edit: never mind. my phone doesn't always render spoilers, sorry about that.

[Flubbernugget]

I know I know firefox mobile is fighting me ;~;

[Flubbernugget]

I am super hype for this round tbh. Malk has been big on song choice, and I've been struggling to pick songs I think he will rate well. I'm super curious to see what he dishes out.

[Flubbernugget]

I tried doing the writing's on the wall and it was an absolute trainwreck. I got super lucky and found out on saturday the perfect drug was written for a movie

[Flubbernugget]

imagine if this fire shit happened during the gender bender round

[Flubbernugget]

I am hype

[Flubbernugget]

congrats to the winners! can't wait to see how this round turns out!

[Flubbernugget]
