So, I've been really working on my vocal abilities for the past year and a half. I have basically mastered the "Zen of Screaming" as they call it, but I am working more on my normal singing voice now.
I threw the idea of throwing some of the songs I sing up here on the forum for everyone to listen to and give me some constructive critisicism. Most of the Indelibles and some even non-Indelibles told me to go through with it; so I decided to. I was even told to put samples of my screaming up, so I will.
Feel free to comment, but, I'm still learning how to properly "sing", so, I just ask out of respect, now to go on and say, "Oh my God, you're absolutely horrid; worst singer ever". No one ever learns that way and to be honest, it makes you feel like shit. But, if you want to say, "Not bad, but you could do this, this, and this to better yourself", I would greatly appreciate it as I want to learn and better myself. So, feel free to listen. I'll update as I sing / scream more.
Also, if you have any requests on what song you'd like me to do (only rock, please), feel free to put them down. If you want me to do a particular vocal technique, i.e. a Pig squeel or a death growl, also feel free.

*Note* I did mess up the lyrics at one point, I go off memory for the lyrics, so they won't always be perfect.

*Note* I was asked by someone to sing both Mark Hoppus's and Tom DeLonge's parts, so, at parts, in order to catch my breath and not sound like a dying Llama, I miss a word or two.

*Note* Contains screaming. I also fluctuate randomly between Brandon Saller (normal singing) and Alex Varkatsaz (screaming), so, if you know the song and it sounds off; that's why.
