As a singer and frontman…

I need my people to tell me when I sound bad. I have a lot of range and can go a lot of different directions with my sound, but that lead to issues in itself. If I need to change modes, I need to be told. I don’t always hear it myself. Not sure how your relationship is, but my people will tell me if I need to do something else.

Now, they won’t just say, yo that sucks. They tend to be more subtle than that. Like, maybe try your Elvis voice on this one. Or go goblin mode, you’re not high enough. Or hey, do that thing. Or whatever they need to say to get me on track.

I see lots of would be singers who cant hear themselves for some reason and are off key, or mumbly, or just terrible. Gives me nightmares that I might be as oblivious as them and no one will tell me. I started singing because my bands actual singer left, but I hadn't got comfortable yet so I asked the lead guitar guy if I sounded alright (I knew I didn't), and he said "Dont worry, the guitar drowns you out anyway".

These days I'm a lot better at keeping in key and I mostly worry about expression and dynamics. But it took a while.
