My boyfriend is the leader of the band which I sang in, but recently he removed me from the position of vocalist, because from a certain moment my diction became very bad and I can't pronounce all words properly. I think he is wrong and diction is not the main thing. What do you think? It's his idea to create a poll. He said that if the result was in my favour, he would consider it.
@BlueVeins No, it was decided a long time ago, I just wanted to write here that the poll is closed. It's better not to sing when the diction gets worse and worse. I will play guitar and keyboards, and my friend will be the vocalist.
@OlgaAlexeenko Olya, it's absolutely right decision. Do what you can do properly. And you should seriously improve your guitar playing because it's really not so good for now
I think it has a lot to do with how important the meaning of the lyric is. For instance I like to listen to music from the Cape Verde islands, where the language is quite a polyglot of Spanish Italian Portuguese and some African. I do understand most of it yet I find it preciously beautiful on the other hand if the precision of the lyric is important then perhaps dressing diction is a good idea
Many singers have some kind of problems with pronunciation or other issues it’s often not an issue as it becomes part of the way they are unique. The ones that should stop are the tone deaf ones that think they can sing and sound like a bag of cats screaming
Thanks all! We agreed that I'll be allowed to perform some backing vocals in few tracks. So I still can perform on stage at least for some time. It's better than nothing.
@OlgaAlexeenko also as I said before the reality is most singers that are good and last have a unique style and that is usually within there voice so go for it
He looks at the results and says "That's what I said. You can sing for your friends at home but you'll never be a lead singer in our band again". I asked him to wait for results till the end of the week. I hope you'll support me😔
@OlgaAlexeenko well a singer's voice is either good or not mine isn't good but I can sing on key. Try to work out the lisp as much and sing it like you mean it 🙂
