I've been doing the last bits of Marc Gunn's recording project -- my backing vocals.
Now, I like singing. I LOVE singing, actually -- probably as much as I love playing my guitar. But fond of my own voice, I am not. I hear/read that many other singers feel the same way -- like John Lennon.
Anyway, these days I focus on singing low because I think I sound better that way. But Marc's a baritone and has a thicker voice than mine, so naturally I need to sing on top of him to harmonize. Well, I sound really thin on top. I was grimacing as I was listening to the rough mix. Granted, when you're singing backing vocals, it's better to sing light and thin -- float on top. It blends better. Marc's satisfied with my vocal contribution, so I'm thinking that I'm being over-critical of my own performance. Which is also typical of all performers.
