Personal music updates!

Welcome back! ꒰๑˃꒵˂꒱◞ ♪⋆ฺ｡

Today I'm going to talk again about music - this time on a more personal level!
As some of you might already know I am active as a singer/songwriter in some musical projects.

Somehow these projects also reflect the diversity of my own taste in music. I love metal and classical music, but also have a big soft spot for jazz and funk, acapella singing and many more. People love to put others into categories and so it has happened to me that people reacted surprised when they found out "Oh, she does listen to something else but metal".

Shocking, right?
Let me show you a bit of this musical diversity I'm talking about:

Music and I

Hello there! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I've been wanting to write a little more about one of my biggest passions on this blog: music!

As some of you might know, I'm generally a metalhead with a preference for symphonic and melodic metal, but also a liking for death metal ;)
Classical music is also one of my favourite styles of music. Other than that I also listen to a whole bunch of more music, stylistically spreading all over jazz, medieval, pop and a bit of electronics like industrial.

In general I always give music a chance, but at the same time I think I'm quite a critical listener. What makes or breaks a band for me in 90% of the cases is if the singer is good or not. That way of listening to music might of course occur because I'm a singer myself or because of my pickiness with voices xD

I've been part of multiple bands and projects and am really thankful for all the great opportunities I've had so far.

My most active one at the moment is Daedric Tales, an Elder Scrolls themed symphonic metal band.

A peek on...

I've actually been wanting to share some of my vocal practice, but whenever I film myself I find it to be waaay too embarrassing to actually share it with others ...

...

In the first place filming myself while singing is all for my own sake - I can see (and hear) my own faults and flaws better and it helps me to reflect on what I did wrong & to do it better next time ;)

At the moment I'm not in my best shape vocalwise, but I'm working on improving !

So ... here we go... *embarrassed* (｡＞0＜｡)

(Remember: this is not a professional equipment/microphone for recording vocals ! It always sounds different live ! Plus the video's quality is not very high either - I used a rather low resolution to be able to upload it.)

Never mind ... I had fun at least ヽ(;´ω｀)ノ

My first video all about my practice ...

(Had to rip it in two parts - blogger didn't seem to be able to cope with too much awesomeness at once. Just kidding ;P)

And YES moving weirdly helps me during practice.

LOL when speeding up the vid my moves look hilarious hahahah...

If you dare to, tell me you're honest - and constructive - opinon, to hear such is my actual reason to upload this here.

Thank you for watching ღ
