Recording!

Recording awesome! ;-/

Anyone who has ever recorded will tell you theres nothing fun about doing the same thing over and over and over until you get it right. It's annoying that's what it is. But with every career chosen theres a struggle but none-the-less I love my job. The thing about me is if I don't get it right when I'm all amped about it. "YEAH LETS DO THIS AAAAAAHHHHHH" Pumped up! Then the results are lets do it again and then again becomes again, and then it makes me think of a movie set when they're like "scene 1 take 4" in my head I'm like "song 1 take 1,2,3,4,,14,17,55" I tend to over exaggerate sometimes but you catch my drift right?

Phil is always trying to comfort me and tell me its normal. Which I know because its not my first rodeo in the studio but putting together an album is a whole different method than doing a single or singing hook for a friend, and the fact that we don't use protools, what I'm normally use to seeing. Phil's always there for moral support because he sees me getting frustrated with myself like "wtf!". Then in my head I'm like "stop talking to me Phil" I'm just stubborn that's all. There's one song every time I come out the booth I get the note right, when I'm in the booth yeah not so much! I analyze myself so hardcore! I don't like small confined spaces so that's one problem I have and the fact that the first 30 minutes in a recording studio is my nervous stage so i have to warm myself up to calm myself down and then i sound like myself(who the hell wants to wait around til i get good?) and last but not least every singers thing I hate the sound of my voice. Ive heard it all before "why do u sing then?" Listen I love to sing and I know I have a voice but I just don't like to hear it recorded and played back, especially if i fuck up on a song and everyones like "that was good" ;-/ I'm my own worst critic I am seriously.

I was sick for a whole month so recording was such a challenge, coughing up a storm and it was just not nice, it was rude and out of order that's what it was. Coughing so hard has put a strain on my vocal chords, but the show must go on!

Here's a pic of me at recording sucking up some halls after i almost passed out in the booth from coughing so hard, that cough was fierce!!!



Its an awesome experience and there are no boundaries, only understanding, knowledge, and improvement for the future. I cant wait for the world to get this album.
