Wow. : D

You have a really nice voice. I can't pretend that I'm as steeped in opera as I'd have to be to make a valid point or two, but it's just awesome having an opera singer in the forums. Kind of cancels out all the more pretentious musicians we might have acquired of late.

Yeah, awesome voice. Just get a slightly better mic next time. :3

Thanks, guys. I do have an appointment sometime in mid-summer to record a CD in a studio, the recording you heard was done during one of my rehearsals with the accompanist, so I apologize-- it's a little Snowball (by Blue) microphone, so it's not that great. However, it allows me to monitor and hear myself concerning technique and interpretation-- usually your coach or voice teacher are there to hear any vices that may have crept in, but when they're not available it behooves the singer to keep himself in check in any way possible. My mike and my trusty (well, somewhat) laptop is how I do it.*

It follows that one of the most touching moments for me during any RPG was Final Fantasy 6's opera scene ("Aria Di Mezzo Carattere" from "Il Sogno"). Of course, aside from that I still consider Final Fantasy 6 to be the best in the series and the one with the best narrative, characterization and storyline progression- and truth be told, one of the best console RPGs of all time. But that's for another topic :).





*Note: When you're singing with classical technique, you're projecting the voice outside instead of swallowing it up- that's why we don't need microphones. Conversely, it's also why it is a lot more difficult to hear ourselves, we don't hear the voice resonating inside (it all pours out of the 'resonators'). Hence why most opera singers, including the great and famous ones, regularly check up with their voice teacher or a voice coach once or twice a year for a tune-up, so to speak. Just wanted to clarify this because I know it may seem a strange notion to most, but that's the way it is.

(Not to mention that Tools were very cool up until like the second half.)

Might as well make with some awful blurry photographins.

And it won't ever either... :)

Smiling is gay... I think I frown naturally... I'll just be walking around and some random tells me to cheer up.

I do a double-raised eye brow now and again if you get lucky.

Heh, I'm the same way. People always think I'm pissed, and all I can say is, "... Uh, no, this is my normal face o_o"
