      Clearly a case of imposter syndrome :D

      For guitars or synths or everything else you can just get whatever sound you want if you try hard or long enough but with vocals you sometimes just dont have a certain sounds and cant recreate it yourself and that feels bad honestly
      Doesnt change how every persons voice is unique amazing and deserves to be heard

      @@flower-fauna I believe you’re spot on. We as creatives have so many ideas for how we want to use our voice but when it comes down to it, our voice is distinct in all of its ranges and especially when you’re younger and don’t quite know your voice yet it’s hard to like it. Just takes years to write good songs that express your voice how you want. 😄

    I was playing in a punk band and we're not good. People often told me that we suck right in my face. And after some time I found a reason for myself why we should keep playing even if we know that we are not the best band. I thought that maybe some kids in the crowd will think to themselves: "man this band sucks.. but they are on stage... Maybe I can do that too?.."
    And maybe we can inspire someone to finally play some music.

Additionally, I've shown his music to countless friends and family and had people specifically comment on how much they love his voice, or how good his voice is. Anyone who says such things like "OMG stop singing your voice sucks" can f*** right off.

    I don't really like my singing voice for the most part and I definitely prefer to work with other vocalists. But I did find when my first child was born, just for me personally, it removed a lot of the apprehension I felt towards singing, just because babies don't care if you're in tune or technically proficient; you can see that connection just from the sound of your voice, and it doesn't matter if it's 'good.'

    About the mics:
    Did a little "blind test" where I looked at the screen only when I liked the sound, and it's definitely the TLM 103 for this song. Mic preference changes based on song and singer, but for this song and for your vocals, the mid dip removed some mud and made for a brighter mix that really worked here. Love it.

    Hey Andrew.
    Thank you. I was a voice teacher in another life, and the most important thing I would tell my students is exactly what you express here.
    Singing feels good.
    There are scientific studies that we can get into about the whys this is, but the basic notion of it is that singing, and your voice is just a basic part of who we are as humans.
    Thank you for continuing to be brave and facing your fears, and for giving voice to those who silence themselves or are otherwise silenced by circumstances outside of their control.
    I also think it's fairly universal for anyone who sings to dislike their own voice, but that doesn't make it bad. It's usually because it's so different to the one we acoustically hear.
    Anyway, what a fun demo of the mics! As you say, it's hard to describe sound, but if I had to I'd argue that the neumann mics both have an almost effervescent quality to them that the SM doesn't have. There is just simply more complexity to the sound you get out of the neumann's. (And that's all I will say because a producer I am not. XD)
    Thank you again for sharing this video. Thank you thank you thank you. As an educator, this is the kind of video I would share with my students and I hope many others find the value in it.
