Well it comes off sounding like you're not projecting your voice, but it could well be due to equipment - I mean we'd have to hear you do it in person to be able to tell. Live and recorded are two completely different things.
Not sure about the singing - I haven't heard it.

The Moor cover is a page or so back. I'm going to remove the file from the 'Net soon, so listen while you can.

Argh fuck, you're right about the cheap mic thing... I broke my fucking pro-mic setting it up. This shitty $2 mic aint doin my any favors... I'll see if I can borrow a pro-mic, then I'll get to Advent.

Even if the mic was peaking [it wasn't] or the shittiest mic you could buy it would pick up a better death vocal than that....you were whispering dude. If you really want, I can make a demonstration to prove this point with my computer mic.

Uh-oh. That can't be right. I'm pretty sure I'm not whispering into the mic. My growl is just about talking volume as well.
Tell me if this one is equally wrong:

This really needs some balls!! It truly does sound like you are whispering, and I know it's not because of the shitty mic or whatever else it may be blamed on. I can hear the dynamics of the room, and it sounds like you're not projecting your voice at all, it's like a "loud whisper", like if you're trying to talk loud in a whisper voice. Pull it out of that whisper voice, and it might sound alright, but you would never be able to sound good on a record or live like that, you need to "sing" it.

Same goes on those growled parts, but man, those clean singing parts are terrible!! It sounds like you made up your own song, you're not even singing the right notes or melodies!!! Please man, next time record atleast to a backing track, and you should definitely hear that you're singing the parts completely wrong. Im sorry to be an ass like this, but it's better that you learn and get better than keep thinking it just sounds weird because of equipment limitations and don't try to get better. Though you don't have a bad voice, just work on singing the right notes.

I forgot that we did this:
http://www.mrniel.com/diemooredit.mp3
A fellow poster named Cranki did all the music (except the outro guitars, those are me). DIE did the vox. That is Jack doing all the clean voxes, and the long screams in the beginning, and me doing all the other hollerin'.

Ey dude, I took the link in ur last post and checked out the files. What kind of distortion is it that you use on your whispery growls?? All the presets in Cool Edit/Audition are overly distorted. Do you boost the mids by any chance?
With that said... I do growls very similar like you on those files, except that as soon as I record them they instantly seem to become weaker even though im projecting my voice well above talking volume... very weird.
Here's some I did over a riff I wrote the other day... (I put distortion, delay, full reverb and vocal compression on it to compensate for the damned shitty mic)
