it was mentioned that i sounded very white american in the video posted in the orphanage thread
when i would visit the states at the age where i was first learning "coherent" english, no americans had any idea what i was saying
i was forced to endure countless hours of speech therapy, where i was taught to speak like i did in the video, in a manner where both yourselves, and even the leoneans, could all understand me
today, it has become one of several natural speaking voices to me, but it is the only one any of you have ever heard
and if is sound that white american, how african could i be? :icon_redface:
i cannot sing (and i did no auto-tune, no editing at all, just me singing to youtube), but that is the fun of karoake, i can be silly, and you can all laugh at me :icon_neutral:
hopefully, others will post so we can laugh at them as well :icon_twisted:
in this first verse, i do not believe i sound western, let alone white?
the second verse, american, i like to this song and switch between the accents
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgiPPakAbQ8
but i prefer this song, especially to showcase a similar vocal style to my country, yet still be understood by a western audience
i did screw the end up horribly though :icon_redface:

this next one shows how well that speech therapy worked (but i think they taught me to talk white tbh, they-say-the-whole-word) :lol:

this is one elvis and i did together back in the day

obviously it is better if i do not sing louder than the other person or the music, but i had a request for 1 that focused more on my voice :icon_rolleyes:
and i am a sucker for old school country (must be in the blood :icon_neutral

after all that, i had to do something gangsta, and since i am OG, i could go old skool :icon_wink:

i am much better at mixing music and am working on a new mix now, no more karoake atm :icon_idea:
however, i did promise somebody i would do a bob marley song
also, i want to Somewhere Over the Rainbow for some Random Noobs :icon_razz:
stay tuned for more chances to see me do something poorly :lol:
