Female Pop Punk Bluesy Experimental Art Rock Vocals *Wanted*

New York City NY

Description

I play guitar, pro level and write, pro level. We'll do originals and play out. And it'll be great. I promise. I have good players wanting to get started but we need the singer to make things happen. The goal is write, record, tour, repeat and make a very good living at it. That said, only serious, fully developed and career minded vocalists should respond. If you want to get somewhere this may be the ticket. Specifics: 18 -- 30 years old, with enough time to really work at getting a band launched. Performance background, with pitch stability; having vocal training would be optimal as I've encountered amateurs and dabblers who obviously love music and singing but they are off key, all over the place and can't hit or hold notes or hit notes accurately when dealing with intervals. Since I did touch on technical issues directly above I will add that it is expected that our singer already has ongoing coaching, or, starts getting coaching and sticks with it so the voice and ability is optimized and stays that way. This is nothing new in the big leagues. All top tier, consistently performing and recording vocalists are on that agenda. As a result of coaching, training and maintenance you won't wear out your voice and sound like Popeye The Sailor when you're 41 years old. The immediate benefit happens when you get a great idea that's challenging and you can get it working without straining or harming your vocal chords. Bring a unique rocky, edgy, melodic, swinging vibe and cool vocals, deliver the hooks and embellish with wails screams growls purrs snarls sneers hollers yowls cries and whatever else you can dig out of yourself. Generic sounding, Bel Canto, Broadway Theater style vocals, overloaded with vibrato, not needed. It's not the big band era anymore. Be inventive and creative. Carry a solid tune--lead singing means exactly what the term says--you're leading it all, and able to do vocals that cut through the band and demonstrate you're in command, with good energy, charisma, no fear of performing live. Vocals only; I am convinced that when attention is divided between vocals and playing an instrument then the vocal performance suffers. Don't ask me how I know this...Thus, I want the singer focused on delivering great vocals, only, not watching their hands on a guitar or other instrument and losing pitch control, timing, or articulation and pronunciation. ~influences~ nirvana early zeppelin dirty rotten imbeciles joan jett dion the sensibles the sonics rosetta tharpe the monkees the pain teens the b 52s darlene love blondie the clash the ronettes jim carroll freddie king janis joplin amy winehouse the cars the jewel gospel singers the easybeats gang of four television the soft boys iggy pop les paul and mary ford milk (uk underground power trio 90's) the beach boys wendy o. williams ~and lots more~ Include your contact info in your reply.
