(Way for something you totally didn't expect to undermine completely the point I suspect you were trying to make, huh?) But I do agree--I know others of you are out there--I have statistic, you know--and I'd love some more comments, be they good, bad, or indifferent.

But I do agree–I know others of you are out there–I have statistic, you know–and I’d love some more comments, be they good, bad, or indifferent.

Your voice sounds fine, the only thing that's a bit weird is I still can't tell if it's supposed to be more spoken than sung (thats how it sounds to me). Either way it's fine but the transition for singing a few notes then speaking again has kind of a "Shatner-esque" effect. Maybe it's just me-- anyone else care to chime in?

I dunno, Are E(minor), G(major) and A(minor) jazz chords? It's something to think about, I guess. I may try it as something of an..I dunno, bonus track? Additional material? Incidentally, how did the upper end (And I assure you, that's the very upper end of it) of my voice sound? Jazz chords? I dunno, Are E(minor), G(major) and A(minor) jazz chords?

You alternate between talking and singing and the music in the background sounds kind of like the jazz chords you hear under a spoken performance. What do you think? Just a thought...
