Classically Trained Singer Available

taxicabmessiah · 21st May 2008, 8:06pm

Hi!

I'm a 20 year old baritone in training with a good range and strong voice. Available for session recordings or as a fully-fledged frontman.

I can sing as a strictly classical singer, or just use my training to add a strong voice to the music. Open to all types of music.

If I can be of any use don't hesitate to get in contact!

I'd hire you to walk about and sing lots of questions at people to see if they'd sing their answers back.

you did when you said i'm a classically trained singer into playing with alternatives. wasn't beethoven the first goth? he looked and acted like one and that moonlight sonata was definitely about vampires plus paganini was a goth for sure i mean that guy played gigs when he was dying you can't get more emo than that. emo are goths right?

anyway you never answered, who are you into and what kinda tunes do you like apart from classical? plus what are your favourite classical tunes to sing? you find any collaborators yet? i think dechead might be right, most metal musicians these days are classically trained, pretentious bastards get all their stuff from the harmonic minor scale innit

Just because someone was something centuries ago doesn't make me anything.

Classically trained just means trained classically, funnily enough. Classical training and performing in a classical genre don't go hand in hand. And in my experience, most guitarists I know weren't trained classically. Not that that's a bad thing, just a fact. By saying that I myself am, I wasn't implying that any one else here is or isn't.

Music I like besides classical then would be bands like Sigur Rós, Nightwish, Metallica, Muse on the rockier side of things, but I also like some pop and I'm into dance music, particularly Drum & Bass. I also listen to a lot of film and TV soundtracks.

My favourite song to sing just now is Plaisir d'Amour, made famous by Elvis. :P

Your tone is quite aggressive. Is there something you want to get off your chest? Were you abused by an opera singer as a child? Or are you assuming that because I like classical music I'm a pretentious bastard from Newton Mearns, or such like?

If you're not interested, why are you hingin aboot this post anyway?
