    You're a good singer like. :)


    :o:o:o:o Thank you! I'm sitting here going bright red and wanting to run away from the laptop. I never normally let people that aren't family or close friends hear my stuff because I hate my voice. I just love singing, but don't like how I sound, lol.

    Yeah, I noticed that myself. I have no idea why that is. I only know the extremely basic parts of sound engineering. I must question my friend on that later! :)

    Turn the music down and your voice up. Simples. I had a video up on Youtube of me singing one of my leaving cert practical songs. Just wanted a bit of feedback. Took it down though. I was far too good... obviously.

    :pac:

    Lol! It's not that simple. :p I can't even remember the name of one of the pieces of equipment he was using, but if my voice went past a certain level in volume, it'd flash red and that'd mean it was gonna sound all distorted or badly compressed or something. I'm not sure. My fault in the first song for making him use a crappy backing track instead of actually doing the music myself. :pac:

    Put it back up and gimme a listen! I bet you're good! :)

    No idea what or where Peck is, but its definitely mid 20s out there atm and sun is splitting the rocks all week.. :cool:
    Peck is a really old Milanese deli/ café. It’s on Via Spadari, opposite the Laduréeshop. It’s foodie heaven if you’re a foodie, or endless rows of expensive things in jars, if you’re not :pac:
    It was still really warm, despite the rain. It nearly always is in Italy, ime. I do love the way Italy manages to be wet and warm at the same time - it’s such an awkward weather combination to dress for :cool:

    pah, im off choc for a week to see if it'll help with the singing and less throat clearing
    You’ll just have to have a hot whiskey so! :pac: Good luck with the concert, too!

    oh i see!
    that's pretty awesome well done

    I’m just starting opera now :)
    Oh, wow, learning opera sounds very cool! I’m hoping to get back to Milan later this year to see an opera at La Scala. I’m really hoping that happens: I reckon it’d be so much fun.

    Can’t see your links at work Lynda, will look them up later :)

    My hair is well long in this video.

    Sound is shít. Everything about it is shít. Enjoy

    It sounds so cool tbh! I’ll have to look all that up later tonight! Love classical music – I even did a history course on the history of classical music in college.

    Lynda your voice is lovely, I like that you didn't try to imitate the accent on the Cranberries song :p

    I'm heading to Cassidys in a while :)
