[M] Yellow - Coldplay🎵GWAB Karaoke Challenge 🎵 “SONGS FROM THE 00S FOR 00CTOBER” [GWABK24] [October 2024] [Karaoke]

Howdy everyone, back for another month of karaoke

Before we get started, I want to thank u/insomnia_swede for hosting, and I encourage everyone to check all of the super talented posters on the original post

I'm not gonna lie when I picked this song I truly forgot how high Chris Martin sings it.

But, I gave it a go in the original octave/key and I'm pretty happy with the results

As always only post processing is some reverb(once again courtesy of valhallas free supermassive reverb) although I went pretty heavy with it this time to try and blend it into the song some.

Let me know what you think and listen here!

[M] The Crystal Ship, by The Doors cover

I really love this song and love to sing it even more. Maybe a not so well known song by the The Doors, but one of my favourites. I hope you enjoy listening!

[M] Are You Bored Yet? by Wallows (Cover)

Hello!! First post here in GWABackstage! Glad to be part of the audio community🥰

Here's a little cover of "Are You Bored Yet?" - Wallows back in February 2023, this was when I started finally getting my footing in producing music so I hope y'all enjoy my own production of the song (MIDI stuff, of course).

Planning to release more covers, produced and acoustic and perhaps even join the karaoke challenge every once in a while.

Here's my cover of...

Getting sick in October and around Halloween seems to be an annual tradition for me now.

Nonetheless, I wanted to stick with the karaoke challenge for the month.

So please (try to) enjoy some recovering-from-some-icky-bug JJ!

‧₊˚ with ✮⋆ CyborgFairy ✮⋆˙

Since the start of September, I've been interviewing smut writers about all things GWA before performing one of their scripts. This week it is CyborgFairy - a smutmaker who wears many hats, perhaps most prominently right now as a moderator of gwa, dsp and pillowtalk. But he is also a longstanding writer of a range of themes & kinks, a highly prolific audio editor, and an occasional VA. This does not address any of the gwa mod developments as I was talking to him solely about his writing and we recorded a month before the wiki update. It is a bit chaotic even after some vigorous cuts but hopefully an interesting listen.

I hope you enjoy this deep dive and celebrate the people who come up with this cornucopia of carnality.

[F] Glue Song by beabadoobee [Karaoke] [Cover] - Writer's Block Edition!

Cryptic's Karaoke - Writer's Block Edition!

Here we go again... I finished editing this one after work today.

Thankfully, I was able to think of a new idea for a script and finish up some other ones. Hopefully there won't be another one of these for a while. Crossing my fingers.

But you know what? I think I’m getting better at Audacity! Thank you to everyone who reached out to me and gave me advice. This community has been so supportive and I have loved every minute engaging with everyone!

[F] Promise by Laufey [Karaoke] [Piano Ver.] - Writer’s Block Edition!

Cryptic's Karaoke - Writer's Block Edition!

Okay, so I’ve been having *really* bad writer’s block lately. I’ve started a couple of scripts but just can’t seem to find the right words to finish them off and now I’m stressin’. 

When hobbies of mine start to feel like work, I need to take a step back. Though I love putting out content for others to enjoy, the last thing I want to do is turn something I find fun and inspiring into overwhelming responsibility. This is a reminder to myself to take a break every now and then—thus “Writer’s Block Edition” karaoke is born! If I ever get writer’s block in the future, I’ll definitely post more of these.

It also gives me a good excuse to teach myself audio-editing and put myself on the other side of my scripts. I would absolutely love any pointers or advice. That being said, I do not plan on investing in equipment at this point in time!

Anyway... here’s my cover of

Is there any subreddit that specifically caters to audiobook-style erotica?

I've noticed that most of the content I see in r/gonewildaudio is in script form, as opposed to narrative form. I'm not sure if some of the stuff I'm planning to release, particularly from "My Free Use Office," will be particularly well-received, as a result.

I know that Literotica hosts that kind of stuff, but the webmasters there take forever to get anything done, so I don't want to rely solely on them.

Any opinions/advice welcome. Thanks!

For performers: before/after a particularly strenuous day of recording, how do you like to warm up/cool down?

Since my content has a lot of voice experimentation and trying out new techniques, my throat gets really scratchy and dry after a difficult session. I've heard of people being able to warm up/cool down to avoid this, what's your go-to method? (I also have a really bad sore throat rn, any tips on getting my voice back would be appreciated!)

Being from a Korean household, I'd usually just gargle with warm salt water, but prevention is always better than cure, right?

Help please.... How do I stop "Unwanted Effects" in my recordings? 😩

I've been recording for years now in the same location with virtually the same set up, but lately I'm experiencing two issues, that I'm really hoping someone can help me with.

Issue 1

  • A random static crackling noise has recently been showing up in my recordings. I can't hear any trace of it while I'm recording at all, only when I listen back to the file do I notice the loud crackling static which is difficult to remove without re-recording and it seems to be getting worse and very frustrating. (I've provided an audio sample of the issue HERE - note it might be NFSW)

Issue 2

  • This issue is not new but I'd still love some help...

My lap top is making a very high pitched squealing noise that I imagine is from it over heating. I can't seem to stop that from happening and it ends up in my audios too (you can hear it in the last few seconds of the same sample HERE) I'm wondering how I can either stop my lap top from whistling or properly edit out the noise without affecting the quality of the dialogue?

Any help would be so greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

~Lacey

[F] Shine On Harvest Moon - Jazz Standard [cover] [singing] 🎵 “SONGS FROM THE 00S FOR 00CTOBER” [GWABK24] [October 2024]

Hello GWABackstage! I return with my second submission for the GWA Backstage Karaoke Challenge for the month of October, which you can find here. The challenge this month is to sing songs from the 00s. One might think the 2000s, but any decade ending in 00 counts here. So I'm doing a vintage song, written in 1908 and made popular by married vaudeville team Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth. If you'd like to learn more about the song, it has it's own wikipedia page here. Because so many people have covered it over the years, it was hard to pin down an actual artist to assign this song to. It's really a jazz/pop standard now, and that is the inspiration in my take on this classic. I hope you enjoy, and you can find my other song for this month here. You can also find other songs I've song here.

[M] "BEAUTIFUL" ( Christina Aguilera cover ) [Guitar] [Song] 🎵 “SONGS FROM THE 00S FOR 00CTOBER” [GWABK24] [October 2024]

There are some songs that make me want to cry, and still they are so Beautiful! This awesome hit sung by Chrstina Aguilera is one of those, and it also brings back memories.💙 .

This is my 2nd song from the 00s in the Backstage Challenge of this month! Check more songs there from talented Backstagers. 🎵 YOU are all:

🎵 BEAUTIFUL 🎵 💙

The original is from 2002, written by Linda Perry, and has become a signature song for Aguilera. I made a simple version with my Crafton guitar and "a little help from myself" that I hope you will enjoy. *Words can’t bring us down...*💙 .

My other songs can be found Here.

[F4A] What is “sexy”? [ramble]talk about [attraction][body positivity][sex positive]big bodies][small tits][big cocks][small cocks][oral][intercourse][older humans][kink][self-esteem][kink clubs][real life][14:06]

I had a conversation last night with a listener who was very concerned they were not sexy and never would be. This audio is for them, and everyone else (basically everyone) who ever thought they weren’t sexy “enough.”

As the tags indicate, I talk about a lot of different body types and features.

This is not fantasy. These are my real experiences, in person, in the “real” world. My hope is that someone may find it helpful as they decide what they think is sexy and what is sexy about themselves. I got news for you: it has very little to do with your physical attributes. Just hear me out. 😘

17 years since this song came out... oh my goodness. 🙈 I got so excited for this challenge just because of how much nostalgia it brings me. Well.. nostalgia as well as cringe- not for the music that came out during those years but just.. other things. 🤭 I hope you enjoy this cover though. ♡

[F] Tomorrow - Avril Lavigne [cover] [singing] 🎵 “SONGS FROM THE 00S FOR 00CTOBER” [GWABK24] [October 2024]

Hello GWABackstage! I'm back for another round of GWA Backstage Karaoke Challenge for the month of October, which you can find here.

Once I found out the theme for this month, songs from the 00s I knew exactly the song I wanted to do. As a Canadian, I had to submit a song from one of our legendary artists, the Queen of the 00s, Avril Lavigne herself. This song, from 2002, has a lot of sweet memories attached to it. It was the soundtrack to the first time I saw the Canadian Rocky Mountains as a preteen. I hope you enjoy and find my second submission here.

Not sure how I feel about the fact that it’s been 18 years since this song came out. Especially, considering I can recall the first time I watched the music video 😌

I really enjoyed singing this song for the 00ctober Karaoke Challenge…check out the challenge here

This was a lot of fun to do…I may have to consider doing a second song for this challenge

Wow! I had a lot of fun with this month's GWAB Karaoke challenge: songs from the 00’s! It also happens to be my first post to r/GWABackstage... So think of this as my introduction! ❤️

I decided to sing Thunder by Boys Like Girls, which was written by their lead vocalist, Martin Johnson, and was released in 2008.

[M] "The First Day of My Life", by Bright Eyes 🎵GWAB Karaoke Challenge 🎵 [00ctober] [Aughtober] [Karaoke] [GWABK24] [October]

I only learned of this song a little while ago. I was looking for something like Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You Into the Dark", since I really enjoyed singing that song. "The First Day of My Life" was one of the top suggestions, and it turned out to be a pretty darn good one. The fact that it also fits for this month's karaoke challenge is a bonus. If you'd like to join us (either singing or listening), head on over; there's still plenty of time to sign up, or find out what other songs to look forward to this month.

#Yours was the first face that I saw There's also a Whyp version if you're hearing the same static as I am, and it's bugging you.

[MF] "White Flag", by Dido [Karaoke] duet with u/ArtIndependent2270 🎵GWAB Karaoke Challenge 🎵 [00ctober] [Aughtober] [GWABK24] [October]

I've loved this song forever, and I really wanted to turn it into a duet, so I was so happy when u/ArtIndependent2270 agreed to sing it with me! It's got such a catchy beat, and the music video has always stuck in my head. I also have to thank her for her patience, because we recorded this months ago, and I've been hoping that the right monthly challenge would come along to post it. Anyway, we had a lot of fun putting it together, and we hope you enjoy listening to it!

[M] "UNDERNEATH YOUR CLOTHES" ( Shakira cover ) [Guitar] [Song] 🎵 “SONGS FROM THE 00S FOR 00CTOBER” [GWABK24] [October 2024]

This song from Shakira is one of my absolute favorite songs from the 00s, both melody and lyrics. Please check more songs from the 00s in the Backstage Challenge of this month! 🎵

🎵UNDERNEATH YOUR CLOTHES 🎵

Hope you enjoy my song and guitar in this unplugged version. 😊The awesome original was written and sung by Shakira, and is on her great album "Laundry Service" from 2001. I took the liberty to switch the lyrics, being the "good boy" myself. 😅

[M] "Perfect Situation", by Weezer 🎵GWAB Karaoke Challenge 🎵 [00ctober] [Aughtober] [Karaoke] [GWABK24] [October]

My musical tastes are centred pretty firmly on the 80's, 90's, and 00's, so this month's karaoke challenge, is a real treat. For my first solo entry, I picked a song that I really love, and (most importantly) it's easy for me to sing on key(ish). It's also my favourite post-2000 Weezer song, and for the aficianados out there, I went with the chorus from the original release, because that's the one I prefer. Hope you like it.

What's the deal with my brain?
