karaoke

Karaoke has been a main hobby of mine for years, on and off... but I've been dedicating a lot more time to it lately.

I download a lot of instrumental tracks, and then practice singing over them... best practice is if I record myself and listen to it afterwards. Once in a while something ends up sounding pretty good, so I clean it up a bit with some audio processing and save it.

I'd never tried "Take My Breath Away" before, but downloaded it today and practiced for a few hours. Not bad I think! I'll need to learn the words better, kind of mumble them at times... but, I'm pleased with myself I was able to hit C#5, which is right at the top edge of my range... usually sounds more strained, if I can get there at all. Fortunately, that's the highest note of the song so... perfect for me to practice with.

Here's my best version from today:
