Fun Stuff > BAND
Forming a new band
Patrick:
So your voice isn't awful like Bob Dylan's, you can still rock if you damn well please. Just takes a bit more work, 'cause you have to figure out how to make it work for you. What kind of melodies work, what kind of songs you write, etc. etc.
VonKleist:
Ehh, Dylan could sing if he wanted to.

But it´s a good example for something that especially Bob Dylan recognized, which is that singing voices don't need to be these flawless beautiful voices of the say, swing-era, to make an impression and find an audience.
But yeah, you have to find the kind of stuff that works for your voice. I assume by "classical rock" you mean The Who, later Stones etc. so listen and learn

and go look for bands that are doing tryouts or find some musicians and try to get them together. While you´re doing that you can maybe get a microphone and try recording on instrumentals to get used to working with your voice in the context of the style of music you would like to create.
Kwaping:
Can you do Queen?
dr. nervioso:
I can do some of bohemian rhapsody. Also I am pretty sure I can do fat bottomed girls because I sing the chorus to myself all the time. I could never get the hang of we are the champions for whatever reason.
I should probably work on my breathing at some point. I know for a fact that it limits my singing
Patrick:
Diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm! All day every day. If you're not pushing from where yr intestines are, you're doing it wrong. Also, there's something to be said for belting the shit out of it until the song screams for mercy. That's what I do when I sing anything Lennon or McCartney.
