I'm looking for some advice on singing...I'm really not much of a singer, I mostly sing along to stuff in the car and do karaoke/Rock Band every now and then. I recorded myself singing this song by Corelia (https://soundcloud.com/paul-fake/corelia-red-sky-harbor-vocal), and I've identified the following things that I don't like or would otherwise like some advice on: -When singing high, I either sound thin or nasally. I'd prefer to be able to sing high with some grit like the original singer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKyl2Xs3GxM) but I can't make it happen. -It almost sounds like I'm whispering or singing tentatively even when I feel like I'm singing loudly and proudly. Maybe that's just in my head though. -How the hell do you sing into a condenser mic without overloading it? I had to literally shout from 10 feet away for some parts, but when I see studio footage singers are always right up close to it the whole time. -I did some distortion on lower parts, but it started to hurt my voice a bit. I know it's possible to do it in a way that doesn't hurt, but I don't know how. -Any other advice that would make me better.

RandomCheese posted:words Thanks for the huge reply! I did do some EQ/compression/reverb on the recording I made, but I probably didn't do it too well if it sounds raw. Well, trust me that the raw version is much, much worse-sounding. As far as the mic gain goes, there is a -10db switch on it...but even with that switch set I still had to stand all the way across the room to record the screaming parts. There doesn't appear to be any sort of gain dial on the mic (it's a $50 USB condenser from Amazon). Anyways, my conservatory is letting me take voice lessons this semester instead of piano so hopefully I'll improve.
