Hello

I have a problem i love to sing along to karaoke songs and my dream has always been to be a lead singer. I am 28 years old is that too old to be a lead singer? But the main problem is that i cannot sing. I sound shit on all songs i try to sing. Can i still be a frontman/leadsinger?

The last link is from a recording my band did a year ago. We tried to cover dimmu borgir.

You've got the voice and the range mate, take some vocal lessons so you can control your voice/transition between notes better.

If you're convinced that you suck, so will your audience.

Your voice isn't bad by itself.

Metal as such doesn't require a "pretty" voice. Have a decent growl too.

Vocal is 70% processing, 30% skill. In your case, it's clear that your processing is very off the charts

What gear are you using? What's your studio setup? Software environment?

Get a vocal mixing plugin like iZotope Nectar 3. Will take so much of the pain out of mixing and processing.

Get some soundproofing in your recording environment. Makes a HUGE difference

What?? Wrong. Stupid. Bad. No.

Also, admin can you just ban whatever IP NekaMorgondagen/HellBentForLeather25/Slayer1990 keeps posting from? The musician forum is a shell of what it used to be, sure, but that guy just makes it embarrassing and pitiful with this crap.

You have a more underground style. Your voice is of course powerful some people may like it some people might not. Anyways, I believe yiu can sing

If that's the case, then guitar and bass are 90% processing (punch in & pencil), and drums are 99% processing (quantization, sampling).

Good thing most musicians also have the skill, because otherwise live performances would be horrendous.
