Let's hear it!

I love Hotel California, and have heard it and its covers like a million times, but ... honestly if I didn't know the song verbatim I wouldn't have ever been able to guess what you were singing :x

Sorry :O. But of course I couldn't sing my way out of a paper bag. Of course why would I be in a paper bag in the first place, and if so, why would I try to sing my way out?

You do sound much older than I'd thought though.

BTW, I'd totally record something, but I have no mic ;-;

Thank you, and I think its in a different tuning. The beginning I was improvising. That first Bb (first note) was where I was supposed to start. That didn't work out.
Anyone got another song I can try?

I sure wish I knew what Shiroun had said before he edited his post. He must have been in a hurry to change it, seeing as what he changed it to absolutely kills the flow of time. Damn curiosity, 's killed better cats than I.

miss matcha, you have a really great voice. Better than I lot of people I've heard who somehow get paid for theirs. :x

Man, being able to produce vocal music for your own game sounds like a really cool endeavour. Unfortunately I can't sing without sounding like Clint Eastwood gone mad, but it's great to know there are a couple people here with vocal skill. If ever I need some singing done, I'm coming right to you or Maus.

I'll show you, but I mean, I just talked to my friend about what the hell it was. I'll still send ya it if ya want
 
Miss Matcha, your voice is very lovely. Both pieces are very nice. I have no doubts that you're worked with some big name companies. ;o

You don't need to sing. Just speak normally.

I wanna hear you sing, Miek. >:3
 
@khmp: Hehe, thanks!  That's funny you should mention about the marimbas, because I just went on a marimba-hiatus, haha... I ended up making about 5 songs in a row at work that used some form of xylophone or marimba and now I need a break!  I think the reason I chose them for "Faster" was because they matched the song's general feel (the song is about trying so hard to organize my life and find meaning and purpose as an adult before I run out of time... as I was writing it, I ironically imagined my kid-self giving my adult-self pointers on how to live life).

@Chimmie Ray: Aw, thank-you... and yes, I think it's definitely fun to be able to come up with character theme songs and stuff like that :)  I'm still trying to decide if there will be any other songs with lyrics.  And yes, Maus is excellent!

@iceplosion: Thank-you :)  And I agree with Lum, it would be cool to hear voices whether they're singing or speaking or growling or... hm, maybe not growling... hehe :P

@Luminier: Aw, thanks Lum, I appreciate it :)
 
Damn Miss Matcha I am mighty impressed. DO you do voice work? You sound just like I envisioned my character "Cella" to sound like. BUT ANYWAYS. Kudos. I was very impressed.
 
@J.D. Slasha: Thank-you, I appreciate it :) By voice work, do you mean singing for other people's games?  If so, I'm usually eager to help out when I can find time.  I recently recorded a track for Reives.  I like the name Cella (is it pronounced "chella" or "sella"?).

@Tassadar: Hehe, thank-you!  Yes, there is some Japanese in that song.  Back in 2002 I was offered a couple record contracts in Japan, so I have a few songs in Japanese.  The one you linked was one of the first songs I ever recorded... before I had a studio or anything (you can tell the quality is low because I used a little computer mic taped to a water bottle, haha!  So ghetto!).  And I'm guessing from your name that you like Starcraft?  I love that game... I'm so dorky, I even read the books :P
 
@Miss Matcha: It's pronounced "Sell-uh". I was contemplating doing voice work for my project, but it would probably be easier to have an ending song or something. Of course if you ever did any work for me I would gladly pay you for it!
