New song! This time an original.

One day, my friend Zach told me about an audition to submit a new upbeat song for a healthy snack commercial. He asked me if I could make up some lyrics for the backing track he has made and do the vocals for it, so I agreed. The song had to include a "Turn it up!" or "Turn up the fun!" lyric.

Anyway, here's the product of our collaboration! Sorry, no download link. I'm not allowed to provide one until results are in.

Mixing/Instrumental: Zach Striefel
Vocals/Lyrics: Me

Turn it Up! (Stream) (http://tiny.cc/q9hu4)


Cheesy Lyrics

(Yaaaaeeeyaaaah)

Show the world that you can do it
C'mon, yeah, there's nothing to it
Bring your dreams to life

Make your day go your way
Give yourself the time to say
"I feel so alive"

(Hey!)

Turn it up! Turn it up!
Turn up the fun! Turn up the fun!

(Yaaaeeeeyaaaaah)

(Yeah!)

Those Loli N Gorgeous lyrics make no sense.

You were banging at someone's door because you dropped an eyelash? What does that even mean?

I like it! It sounds pretty, especially the chorus~♪ ♫

It's been a year since I completed my last character demo reel, so I figured now would be a good time to get started on one for 2010. I'm trying to sway away from anime-type voices to go into more cartoonish voices. I'll be throwing in some characters with accents too. I think I'm just going to come up with as many voices/characters as I can and just choose a few that will appear on my demo. Here are a few that I've done.
01: (may do this over and add an accent)

http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/1297/182Y2o_002.mp3

And here's another cover I did. I'm a lil pitchy in a few places, but it was just a warm-up song so I'm not too worried about it. Lyrics adapted in English by my friend Christine.

Naisu Cover. Now add the harmonies.

That last one was beautiful.

Thanks!

Oh god this is amazing

Bedy naisu indeed

Okay, so the song from the last post needed male harmonies and some extra ones towards the middle of the song, so I got another friend of mine to do the male harmonies, and now the song is complete:

No, it's not an original. It's the opening for an anime sung by Kiyoura Natsumi. It was originally in Japanese, but my friend Christine created English lyrics for it a few years back.

Working on an audio submission for robot day on NG. I just "finished" the introduction, which you can listen to below. I'm hoping people can visualize what may be going on in this scene.   Official title for this is "Seek and Destroy" it's a very original title so plz don't steal!!!

Oh, and it'd be best to listen to this with headphones--maybe turn down the volume too.

Also I laughed at the game cover

The only thing I can say about the above comic besides "lol" is that I wish the girls that play games around here didn't act like they deserve a metal just for playing a game.

Okay something not so useless for the new year!

As some of you may know, a month ago I watched Cowboy bebop for the very first time. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to have finally, though. Anyway, I fell in love with the ending song titled "The Real Folk Blues" and wanted to do an English cover of it , but there was no instrumental/backing track available. I was so desperate to sing it that I commissioned a new friend of mine to make a backing track for it. He did an amazing job on it, and it was well worth the money. He offered to mix the song for me if I gave him the vocals and a few days ago he sent me the rough version of the mix.

http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/1297/8482Kp_The%20Real%20Folk%20Blues-mix2.mp3

This is just a rough though. My friend and I both agreed that we would do everything over again in a week or two, so I'll be re-singing it and having someone else help me with back-up vocals for the chorus! I'll post the final version whenever we're both satisfied with the results.  I was a little nervous about this because I'd never sang so low before.

Muscle Man Wizard promises to trump this but for the time being really good job holy jesus christ

are those the original lyrics? i guess it's been so long since i've heard it i didn't recognize the verses. anyway, it sounds great! it'd be cool to hear more stuff like this. you should do the opening to magic knights rayearth

Thanks you two!

@rtil: The original song is in Japanese, so a friend of mine adapted them based on English translations. I don't believe there is an official English version of the song. As for the Magic Knight Rayearth OP, it sounds pretty but I'm scared I won't be able to hit some of those high notes. But I'll give it a shot!

awesome  i think you're right about there being no english version which would makes sense since it sounded unfamiliar to me. but i like it in english better

I love

very nice

Thanks!

YESSSSS

I LOVE YOU ive been waiting for a nice ol english version of this song for some time now
also dont worry sap I started watching that show this year too and fell in love with it/its soundtrack too

Glad you like.

I'm waiting on my preamp to come in the mail in the next couple of days, so once that gets in I'll re-record everything and hopefully have a download link available within the next couple of weeks.

New song. I hated Dragon Ball GT, but I loved the OP and ED songs. Here's the third one titled Blue Velvet. I used FUNimation's official lyrics.

Blue Velvet (http://www.box.net/shared/9d6df5qb2ospj9vavvxi)

i was wondering why the song wasn't familiar to me

and then i re-read your post and saw GT

everyone told me to avoid it, so i never watched it

you did a good job singing this one

Lol yeah. DBGT is horrible garbage, never go anywhere near it.

and thanks!

damn you sing really well, its too sick

that blue velvet cover is great

I pretty much agree with everything that has already been said.

About the song and GT

Thanks, you guys!

I MEAN IF YOU CAN MAKE A KARAOKE FOR IT OR SOMETHING I WOULD TOTALLY DO IT

Okay, something different. I've been doing a ton of freelance voice work, and figured now would be the time to make a website since I've been asked so many times in the past to do one.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo,  I was wondering if any of you folks out there would help me out by giving me your thoughts on a layout I'm working on for my site?

Here's what I have so far, but it's not sitting right with me. :/

(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1297%2F401oJ1_LAYOUT2.png&hash=0e9e4dc8826b408ec0cec176b4865e0cc28a4a8c)


What you're looking at is a rough rough rough rough draft I did around 12 at night while playing L4D2. I really stink at it, but I enjoy making custom layouts... so any help would be great!

i don't like the top buttons. i think they should be white and look more like tabs attached to the design, or just on their own as text. i think it'd be cool to have an image more personal to you than a stock photo of mics behind the name of the site too

A little hard to read maybe adjust the colors so it can be read easier just a suggestion for the smaller font text. I don't think it looks to bad other then that.
Well the font might be slightly bigger when its  seen through a browser.

I would say the weakest aspect are the buttons on top, they seem a little out of place. Same goes for the font you used for them, doesn't seem very buttony if you get what I'm saying. Same goes for the font used under the title (the official website of Cassie Ewulu). If you want to have text there that's totally fine, but the font you have now doesn't contrast very well with the font of the title. I guess you could change either one of them.

The white box behind the welcome/resume text sticks out unevenly on the right. I see what you were trying to do, but it seems a little off. Also I'm not sure about the drop shadow.

Okay I think I know why the buttons look weird. You chose to use curved edges on all the other square things, except for the buttons. I don't think making the buttons have curved edges will make them look perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. It would probably look better if they were incorporated into the main image, instead of floating on top. Okay I just noticed another thing. All the titles on the page start with lower case letters (which I like), however the buttons start with capitals. Generally speaking as far as graphic design goes, peoples seem to prefer all caps or all lower case letters, so take your pick.

Hopefully that wasn't to over the top. I think critiques and things are much more effective if people just skip the part talking about what they like. Well, hope that was of some use

Thanks for the critiques so far, guys. I'm gonna use em up and re-post something whenever I have time to work on it again.

@cipher: it wasn't over the top at all.

need to get the colors right first imo

pink is cute and all but everything is so bright it kind of hurts to read it

yeah, i'm gonna go for somethin darker

it doesn't have to be dark, it just needs better contrasts and colors that work together more instead of blending in too much

Okay, I'll try mixing and matching some other colors.

In the meantime, I was looking through some of my old stuff and found this wip I did of the Re: Cutie Honey OP a year ago.

http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/1297/81w7Y_cutay.mp3

I never finished it because I just wasn't feelin' any of my vocals on this, but now that I'm listening to it again I may just finish it. Imma have to start over though.

Oh, and here's something I got the chance to voice for a couple of months ago. It was fun!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNpkMDkrEWU

Did a cover of the Slayers OP with a friend:

Clicky here. (http://www.box.net/shared/6jmypo88md47b61hk4q5)

Man, so many people here with great voices :D Seriously awesome stuff!

That was good! brings back memories.

Wow it's been a while since I've been in this thread
Your website has this extremely soft touch to it but I think everyone on the last page covered everything on that
You should totally finish that Cutie Honey cover. I remember listening to an even shorter version ages ago but ya nail that coffin

The Slayers cover reminds me a bit of just what you are capable of
I didn't expect that kind of power from you
Keep up the good stuff

Thanks you guys :)

i thought it would be a slayer cover at first WTF!

Did a quick cover of the Outlaw Star OP!

Click to listen. (http://www.box.com/s/ldzv1j8qjpimqg14nmah)

nostalgia

all i can think of when i hear that song is the creepy art in the credits. but you did a very good job with the song. you should do the OP too, even though a guy sings it

Damn my school's slow download speed, I would like to listen to this but it stop at about 4 seconds in. :/

just direct download the mp3: http://dl.box.com/dl/1217920743/d71bef59e8840a36d0f368d77cb2b4b6?a=888ff015226fec98265b7ab852660559&m=10.12.30.52,11211&x=1&c=5d06dcf3460f124212f3991876b40204 (http://dl.box.com/dl/1217920743/d71bef59e8840a36d0f368d77cb2b4b6?a=888ff015226fec98265b7ab852660559&m=10.12.30.52,11211&x=1&c=5d06dcf3460f124212f3991876b40204)

Sorry about that, but yeah you can also download the mp3. :)

Also, @rtil: I'm not actually familiar with the OP. I don't think it ever played on Toonami when I was watching it, lmao.

that's a shame because it was really good
here's the full song:
Outlaw star opening theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrjUj-FRorY#)

and shortened for the op:
Outlaw Star Opening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0N3L-pcGdc#)

it's a totally different kinda song though, not sure if it's your style

It really is good! Imma add it to my list of songs to cover. I may end up having to sing it in a more comfortable key though. :V

Soooo totally forgot to share this with you guys! Here's the final mix for the Cowboy Bebop ED!

[Cowboy Bebop] The Real Folk Blues (English Cover) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYUk-ISUTcI#ws)

The download link is in the video description. :)

This was delicious thank you may i have seconds

That song actually translated pretty well into english, a lot of them sound awful when translated over

anyways, great as always

sapphire i have an old version of the real folk blues sung by you in my ipod and its probably one of the tracks i hear more often. this updated one is kickin too

also recently i met a friend of yours irl!

good real folk blues cover

Thanks!

Here is a new voice demo I whipped up today for a friend of mine to showcase on his group's website. It's basically a bunch of voice clips from games, animations, and dubs I voiced in over the past couple of years. Later this summer I'll have a nice demo up--with goody copy.

Thanks, you two :)

And rtil, it's on my list of songs to sing. I just have to find the single--and finish like 4-5 other songs on my list first. :I

Anyway, here's another cover. Finished mixing it today. I'm trying to practice everyday so I can increase my range with a bit more ease. I've been starting to kind of feel it ever since summer vacation started. I'm a little happy about it. :D

[Umineko] Tsubasa (English Cover) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCk43XxCw-k#ws)

i really like the cutie honey one, but that might be because i love the op song for that show.
