What Is The Best Vocal Mic For Classic Rock Male Vocals?

Im starting a new band doing a few classic rock songs and im off to buy a new mic, but im unsure about Live microphones so im wondering if anyone has any idea what i should be looking for to get a good live sound with classic rock vocals (plus for my voice which can be heard in the recordings in my sig)

any tips would be great as its hard to try out mics in a music shop since it wont give me any idea what it would sound like with a band, cheers

just so you guys know, i recorded it all in 1 take per instrement to see hw it would sound i know i cant rap and the vocals are out of time and pitch, but ill redo it if my band decide to do it...

think we could pull it off?

Act Of Silence - Blind Man (cover)

this is a cover of black stone cherry's blind man, i thought i'd try record it because i love the bass line and the guitar riffs.

anyways, it was just a mess about (the solo i just made up on the spot too) and the vocals arent what i would call brilliant in this song.

thought i'd post it anyways even though im not happy with the result lol, feel free to give comments  Act_Of_Silence___Blind_Man.mp3 ( 4.88MB ) Number of downloads: 7

Singing Lessons?

It might just be my imagination but it seems to me as if there has been no new singing lessons in a while.

I have seen pretty much all of the singing lessons and have had a go at them all but im missing new additions

If people are having trouble thinking of things to cover in lessons, it doesnt have to be just singing... maybe frontman tips, how to talk the audience and keep them entertained while the band change guitars or tune up, go to the bar, etc

or dress code, most singers have a unique look.

how to act while your guitarist is playing a solo?

there are a few things i'd love to know but cant find any lessons on

I know how hard it is to do these things, I have tried, im just saying it would be nice to see some new singing lessons here on gmc.... even though the ones that are there are already great

George Michael - Careless Whispers

yea, you read that right...

but my version is a cover of Seethers version of the song

I recorded this as my band is learning it and I thought the best way to learn it would be to record it.
Unfortunatly I have given up on mixing.... I just cant do it! so yes, the mixing is very bad

have fun listening to it and comment if you wish
