JPF Home Page Forums Musician Gear and Techniques Microphone and Vocalist Forum How do you let loose?

I remember this thread! (My daughter is wrong--I still do have some long-term memory!) Just one additional thought:

Y'might practice with Gospel music. You will rarely get criticized (and even criticism is going to get phrased in encouraging terms) Folks remember what the Good Book says about "making a Joyful Noise"; note it doesn't say a word about having to be in tune or any of them other technical things. So go do your Aretha Franklin, or Little Richard, or Jerry Lee Lewis (they all got their starts in Gospel music, by the way)--and then take the good feedback you get, and what you've learned, and apply it to *secular* music. Because it works there, too. Tools are, well, tools.

Enjoy yourself.
