I recorded these vocals to a karaoke backing track in 2010.  I remember that I had a cold at the time and I’d been coughing a lot, so that helped me get the raspy sound in my voice.

When I listen to this now, I think about all of those years in radio and doing voice acting, and how they’ve conditioned me to try and enunciate my words clearly… which – if you’ve ever heard Eddie Vedder sing – you’d agree is the opposite of how I should have sounded in this song.  😛

Vocals recorded with my Shure SM-58 mic.
