Quote:Anyone got their eye on the recent Danny Boy listing? Quote:NEW LISTING -- Original versions of the Traditional/Public Domain Irish folk song "DANNY BOY" are needed by a Music Library/Publisher with many high-level network contacts and TAXI song placements (mostly network TV shows). Both VOCAL and INSTRUMENTAL versions are OK. A cappella versions are fine as well. They're open to a fairly wide variety of instrumentation, but keep it as close to a traditional arrangement as possible. Great performances are essential. ... Here's my first take. Danny BoyI'm sure they will get many professional singers that I can't match, so I may go in a different direction.I like it. I would maybe soften the consonants (pop screen/d-esser if you aren't already). I think there is a pop influence in your voice so I would go even a touch more pop... a la David Foster / Josh Groban. The vocals are fine... but there is a slight feeling that you are trying just a little too much to articulate... so I would just think lots of legato/lyrical phrasing & trust yourself.Hummin'birdPS - I'll be taking a swing at this one too.
