Can't believe I'm singing!

[G.N.R Adict]

In June this year I'll hopefully be singing a Def Leppard song --"Do you wanna get rocked?" or a GNR song--"Civil War", "Knockin on Heavens Door", or "Sweet Child of Mine". Then in August I'm singing "Patience". My problem is the mc makes my voice so weird that I soundlike hal my age, and gh pitched. I know nothing about music equipment, but I was told the mic was for instruments only when I went to my audition. So I sounded terriable and broke my own Heart and dreams!......

Is their actually a differene in the mics, or am I gonna embarress my self in frontof 800 people withouany option but giving u????

Helpzies!!!!! pleez!

I'd just practice with my mic they gave you and edit your voice so it sounds right coming out of it. I've noticed my voice sounds diffrent when I hear it from recording and speakers than my ears here it so maybe it's fine and you just hear it diffrently?

Not sure about mic's and their quality's though, the one my band has works great for me though, I'll go check what it is at some point for you.

If you're really good looking, don't worry about it. Noone will give a shit.

If you look like this:

Invest in better equipment.

800 people? Wow, that's a small Venue!

Thanks. I don't know people said it sounded good, but I don't believe them. The thing that sucks is that the mic is different then the one Ill be practiceing with, and different then the one I will be using in June. The thing in August like every person I'm related to is going to be at, so I don't want to mess up, besides singing is my uitmate love, I'd be nothing without music! The sad thin Is withiout the I can manage to sound like Axl, with it I sound like someone with absolutly no rythem to their voice, and a soft voice that is also high pitched...so annoying!

Just sing it normally, you don't need to sound like Axl. If you buy a mic will they let you use it at both gigs?

Hey at least 800 is better than Axl's 13!

Don't nosedive into the crowd or bite security guards. If you follow those directions, you should be just fine.

Yes, different mics and different mic settings can effect the way you sound.

I know that in the studio at my college, we not only use different mics for different instruments, but, also for different vocalists. Like, we wouldn't use a mic that sounds good with hi hats on a clean vocalist.

Generally, screaming vocals sound best with drum mics, vocal mics usually sound best when they're, like, Shure's or SM-57s(which also sound good with guitars).

Screamers work well with AKG 414s.

Odds are that the mic they provided you with is set with either a high pass or a low pass filter, causing the voice to lose some of its substance.

Thanks, so what would work well to make my voice just how it is? Normally it's soft, and clear.

Thanks all.
