The Rainbow Connection Love Came For Me Journey To The Past Part Of Your World Yura Yura Popular Misty Everyday Nights

It's not much, but above is the current list of songs (available for free, if you want them) that I've recorded so far. Any suggestions for new stuff?

So, on Tuesday of this week - two days ago - we met with local radio station owner Brad Hockmyer of KTAO 101.9. We played "Journey to the Past" for him, and he told me that my voice was a gift. Now, whether or not it's marketable remains in question. But he seemed sincere in his reaction and comments, and offered to send out packages with a biography of myself, a headshot, and a disc with three songs to people he knows in L.A. and New York.

Yesterday night, I finished burning 12 CDs and printed out 12 pretty labels (they might be a little too girly, but if my voice sounds like a Disney princess already, why try to be something I'm not... like someone with a sexy and sensual adult voice. Ha!). I think we'll be planning to drop them off to Mr. Hockmyer soon, maybe later today. Then we'll see what happens. At this point, my hopes are mostly realistic. Nothing could happen at all. Whoever ends up getting these discs may play them once and never care to listen to it again. I mean, come on. I do not have a pop voice at all.

I'd probably have a better chance doing kids music, musical theatre and showtuney stuff, or stuff like Josh Groban (classic vocal sort of). Any of these things, I wouldn't mind. I'd really really really love to do voice overs for anime too, but being so unsure of what will come of this next move, I think it would be better to sit back and wait to see what happens.

Music to sing is always coming to my head. Really - always. I'll just be stting here, playing my Nintendo DS or some other such thing and I'll go, "Hey! Final Fantasy had some pretty cool songs, and they're ballads! I wanna sing those!"

I'm ridiculous, and I already know this. Something else I just realized is that it's really hard to concentrate on writing anything that might make sense when I have Seal singing in my ear. It's a cool song. Highly recommended. I'm trying to get used to using Winamp again after so long. I used to be a very loyal Winamp user (I had a cool Legend of Zelda skin that looked like a shield with the sword of time and stuff). But then I got corrupted by iTunes and wanting to use my iPod in my car.

Anyway, I love Winamp. They're Bento skin is very clean, and they actually have a lot of nice skins for those who like change. ^.^ Their visualizations are generated by Milkdrop 2.0, and this latest version has new ones that are really interesting to watch when you're sitting back and relaxing with one's favorite herbal blend.

If anyone can think of songs that I could focus on performing, feel free to let me know. I take requests too. We've got a little list building here, and so far we have several anime openings (to be sung in English), some Neil Young covers, and other musical theatre stuff. I'm still looking into other Disney things I could do.

Here's an idea! I wanted to do some duets, and I thought I'd let myself be inspired by a YouTube user called ColtonRudloff (Great singer, btw) who uploaded a song with only his part and said to the world of YouTube, "Sing with me!" so that anyone who wanted to download (or straight-play) the video, they could sing the other part of the duet. Several people participated in this, and I think it would be fun to put other duet stuff out there to inspire others to sing with me too!

Well, it was an idea. I think I may do that.

Welcome! Congratulations! You've found my blog!

Now what? Well, don't look at me, 'cause I don't know.

Anyway, this is the first entry of a new thing I'm trying . . . writing about my news and happenings as they happen (or more likely slightly after they've happened) in as much of a family friendly way I can.  Cursing will be limited, but complaints will continue as necessary.

This will remain as the useless first entry, lacking in content and substance. You'll live.

Toodles!
