Thanks for that Milfus, great idea.

But tory, why are ranting about studying genres you idiot, we are talking about finding our voice. AHA! i say, you allready KNOW your style, you can listen to a passage and give it a thumbs up or thumbs down, you can even say what part MADE you give it the thumbs up or thumbs down. so what ya do is listen to all your favorite songs, like your real go to songs, and find the parts in the songs that make it so great to you, if you are typical of us, that list will be like 80 things long, but less will be fine, then ya cross reference them and pick out which you prefer and which are your stand by's, and you are left with an entire list of techniques and stylistic approach that resonate very strongly with you, will it be unique?...maybe. will it be genuine and heartfelt?....its kind of impossible not to be. just my 2 pennies, I am nic fitting and ranting, but its one of the things I used to make my clients do, I developed it myself as the absolute start of the job for new talent, and you would be amazed how much it can focus a sound and a message and give ya a blue print to really launch a career off of. so maybe its worth a try *shrug*.
