Ok, I wanted to start this back up again. I'd like some tips. Is the way you sound to yourself what you really saound like?

To me I sound awesome. I can sing like practically everyone, but I think I might just sound like crap to anyone else.

My tip is just to sing constantly, and loudly,really singing not that falsettoish crap, get some power into your voice. Definitely warm up. I make mixes that progressively get harder to sing to, but my voice warms up as I go. First I start off with some danzig, then maybe some system of a down, then incubus, then alice in chains, then move on to the harder stuff, tool, a perfect circle, you know.

Here is a sample:

Halloween 2 - samhain
Mother - Danzig
Know - system of a down
Wayfaring Stranger - Tim Buckley
Rooster - Alice and chains
Would - Alice in Chains
Judith - APC
Creep - Radiohead
Thomas - APC
Eulogy - Tool
____ of the seraphim - Dead Can Dance

Take breaks in between songs. Maybe
throw in some depeche mode at the beginning. I can hit almost everything in those songs. Except for the end of Mother and Eulogy, and the Dead Can Dance is lowered, since I'm a Dude.

Sing Everywhere. I get most of my practice in on the toilet, in the shower, and in the car. Don't be afraid to really sing, top of your lungs i mean,

What are some good drinks to drink?

Alcohol is definately bad, smoking probably is too, but I don't notice it as much as I have when I drink. Thing is I'm too shy to sing in public without the aid of an aniti axiety substance.
