Ha, you're a huge proponent for weed! You may be right in it not being very good. I don't know man, maybe the West just has some really good stuff, but what I've had here doesn't really do too much for me. But cheers man together they might make an awesome combo since their effects are so opposite.
It was a dance gig. It went better than i thought it would. Trying to be more social, but honestly after stuff like that i just like to go on stage then go home. i hate standing around and talking so much. It's sweet when people say nice things, but idk really i don't take compliments or people dissecting my work too well. just wanna leave it there and move on.
Carpe: Regarding the singing, my advice might not be exactly what you're looking for since my perspective is coming from a theatre background since i don't know anything about alternative singing or what techniques they practice in metal. i'm also not a singer. But from just listening, i'd say just trust your own voice more. you're an alto, so explore it. try songs that are in higher keys, just for you to explore your highs and head-voice and possibly combine the two for more vocal variation. also use your natural voice. don't try to sing like the singer who originally sang it (oftentimes you cannot because those songs were most likely written for their voice so unless you're a seasoned singer or have a voice key range and pitch similar to them it'll sound awkward to sing like them), and see how that turns out. but that's, just my two cents happy exploring!
