A Musical Tribute - by SilverWolfPet and YOU (Launched! Page 11)
 

Whoever wants to join in, must follow these easy steps:

1. Have a video camera or a webcam or any type of device that lets you record yourself visually. (in the worst case scenario we'll put a picture of you in the tribute, or I'll draw you myself using crayons, but do try to find a camera please)

2. Have a decent microphone. (try not to record yourself singing using your mobile phone or using other not-so-good microphones... a webcam mic or a simple pc mic will do)

3. Do you know the song "A Whole New World" from Disney's Aladdin?
(in case you don't, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kl4hJ4j48s).

I need you to record yourself (only audio) singing the verse from 1:10 to 1:26. Basically, the refrain.
No background music, just your voice. Give it your best shot.

If you don't have an audio editing/recording program, try this one, it's free:

4. After recording your voice
IMPORTANT - Name your file based on your user name. If I would record a sample I would name it "SilverWolfPet - Sample.mp3" or wav or whatever format you prefer. This way I can work faster, thanks!

ahem, so... after recording your voice upload it somewhere online (e.g http://www.mediafire.com/).

5. Send me the link to your upload, through a PM. That's it!

As embarasing as it may be, I almost feel obligated to do this. I'll see what I can do.

I get to be a part of something, and it involves one of my favorite things in the world!

I love to sing, so this is perfect for me.

I'll do this sample, but the best example of me singing currently is probably me doing Tom Lehrer's A Christmas Carol on YouTube. Yeah, sorry for plugging, I just think it's a good example.

^ post a link here :)

Also, to those who think they cannot sing...uh, yeah you can! Just have fun with it! ;)

In the immortal words of Homestar Runner, "Oh, sweet dog, you KNOW I'm all over this!"

Okay I'll join. :)
Try to record it as soon as possible.

You don't have to sing good right?
I can sing on tune but I don't have the most pleasant singing voice. :P



BTW. I can play A whole new world on the piano. But you made your own composition.

Oh, piano player! High Five, bro!

And no, you don't have to have a good voice, bla bla... :p

Yeah I am technically quite adept. I am playing Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 at the moment.
Still cleaning up though. Hella difficult. :P

But my improvisation sucks! I have just start learning it.

Chickening out... no microphone, no camera. My voice is OK, but doesn't go high. I'm on the bass/tenor verge, I think, but that can't be verified. ;)

Good luck!

I haz heavy voice too. I blame the turkish genes. =(

Just in case you didn't notice, I did edit my post with the link to me singing the Tom Lehrer song, I'm pretty sure I have a baritone voice. Now I wonder, do I still have to record the Disney song sample with my currently online example?

I'm scared. I make birds fall out of the sky and dogs drag their butts on the carpet when I sing. =<

^
Please join. You'll lower the bar and other people will dare to send in their sample. =(

Hmmm I would love to participate, but I'm not too sure what my neighbors will think if they hear me singing "A Whole New World" :p

Can't promise anything, but I'll try something...

Ok. Yeah, so when I get home, I'm getting out my microphone, and entering.

@Silverwolfpet

I can't sing for sh*t, but...

Let me master the song :D when its in his final stages of completion.

It would be even better of you could make every instrument and vocal rendered on seperate tracks in WAV. So i can do it in Cubase.

I should have mine ready monday, assuming my camera will work properly.

I'm in. I have an epic idea for the recording of my own video part but I might have to ask you if it's okay, if I can even get it to record.

Also, I'm glad you asked Alan. You got to watch that guy; he's ready to ban at slightest notice!

Oh, come on people, it's just for fun! :D I can't sing either!

Remolay, it's perfect, you don't need to send the sample anymore. I will, however, ask you to give your recording a little more "punch", lemme hear your voice because you tend to whisper it a bit. :) But we'll get to that later, I'll send you your part soonish.

Oh and never EVER film against the sunlight. Each time someone films against sunlight, a pixie dies. And also the lighting doesn't help your facial features to be too observable. So think about that next time.

Secret Fawful, once I cast your part(s) I will tell you what we'll do... but basically you are free to film yourself in every epic way you see fit. ...as long as you're decent.

I think everybody knows that after we record the community song, each of us will have to film himself/herself lipsync-ing to his/her part. But we'll get there, step by step.

I really love the song, it's awesome and it's probably one of my best pieces yet. I hope you guys like it too.

Oh, wait...what was I supposed to be doing again?
