As most people will probably know by now, likely my main passion in life (even more than computer games or even Doctor who), is singing! Last christmas my parents booked me an appointment to go to a professional recording studio and get some recordings of yours truly singing with backing tracks. We only had two hours, but the chap really knew what he was doing and had some pretty awsome equipment.
Recording was fun, literally sitting in a sound proof booth with headphones and a mike, and actually a lot harder work than I would've expected sinse I rather expected it to be easier than singing in front of an audience, but found the opposite.
I did this partly for the experience of professionally recording my singing, and partly to have a decent recording of my voice to show people.
As a side effect of course, I can also share it with everyone hear so people will know what my singing voice is like. It's particularly note worthy sinse one of the three tracks I recorded was indeed music of the night from phantom which I use for my sig, the other two were Anthem from the musical chess (a song about how lovely russia is), and Oh Del mio Dolce ardor by Gluk, a peace of early opera in Italian about how lovely Helen of troi is :d.
Anyway if people fancied hearing my various squarkings, I've banged the Mp3 versions up on sendspace to torment everybody .
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
