My voice is my greatest strength and greatest weakness

[Mark Kaufman]

I'm a jack of all trades, master of none. Luckily for all of us, perfection is boring. It is also subjective. The best we can do...is the best we can do...so I focus on the project--make each piece shine in its own way. The more I think about myself, the less I focus on the matter at hand, which is the project.

Good point, Mark; the very best thing about music, sold or otherwise, is how it takes me outside myself.

Yes...it's the very same with me!

This business doesn't really allow one to improve weaknesses, especially weaknesses that cost a lot of money.

I'm just about convinced you're not for real and that this is Sacha Baron Cohen doing character research for his next movie. Another viable alternative is that you're an avatar of Yadgyu.

Long time participants here know that the tunes I've posted here were all professionally demoed. To pitch a tune, I'd sing it into my Boss 900 whatever, maybe with a rhythm track. So, the demo firm got the melody & the phrasing & the lyrics, and not much else. The resulting tunes won awards in the Great American Song Contest 4 years in a row. Recently, I saw my original CD's -- with me singing -- on a shelf in my garage. Took a listen. I was shocked and appalled. Truly, a decent demo firm can turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. If you have a decent tune & can't sing, get a pro to do it. Today's market is too competetive to do anything less. Ott

Thank you. Case closed.

I applaud your honesty sir!

ottlukk: Thank you! I just learned something new - Professional demos. Sounds like an oxymoron, but makes good sense, especially in my particular situation.
