Hey guys. So for those of you who don't know, I really enjoy singing and have been taking college choirs for about 4-5 semesters.
I'm really hopping that next semester I'll be able to to start taking private voice lessons with the teacher of one of the choirs I'm in now cause he's really cool!
Also, I was able (just yesterday 3/5/16) to sing the national anthem for one of my college's baseball games!
so anyway... I'll try and post some of my stuff on here and if any of you have any requests for me I'll try and do that for you.
so yeah, let me know if y'all are interested in me keeping this thread up and running or not.

Until next time, Wes.

That's really awesome, Wes! What's your vocal style? Rang? Probably would be good to know before I start making request!

thank ya. Well right now I'm widening my vocal style. but I'm not that great at pop yet (I can do some), I'm okayish at jazz, I've grown up with hymns, I like classical, Disney's pretty easy... ect. so yeah idk if that's exactly what you were asking but hopefully that answers that question? I have a pretty large range depending on the day & time. In the morning I can sing most bass notes, but I'm actually a tenor. So I'm comfortable from around baritone - tenor 2/1. lol
So yeah, hopefully that answers your questions.
(If you want to hear any of a few hundred songs I've done so far, you can check my profile out on the app "Sing! by Smule" here's the link http://www.smule.com/yelsew_t A few of my songs might actually sound okayish. (my playlist are my faves. some of my singing as well as others) )

I would love to hear you sing Proud of Your Boy from the Broadways Aladdin! It's a pretty short song.

Wow! That's awesome Wes! You're also pretty good from what I've heard. Your "You Raise Me Up" was really awesome. ^_^

And you totally should do some more Broadway. I saw a few Phantom, but you should do more. The only point of singing is to either be in a choir or a musical... come on! =p

Thanks man! I have done a bit of Broadway stuff before some on the app and a bunch more in my choirs. If you have anything specific I'd love to at least try it. haha

*Edit*
Oh also, I got the awesome opportunity to be in/sing in a music video made with high school and college students a few weeks ago and it has been released. If you're interested in hearing it, here's the link.

Thanks so much man!! So glad ya liked it. it was really quite fun to learn and sing. I haven't had any private lessons no. But I've taken choir for 4 semesters now and have grown up with music. thanks again for the request Bethany.

Just listened to your cover of the Aladdin song. Wow....I've never listened to the original song, but if I had heard only your version, I'd dang well think you were the original. High-five, dude!

Awe... thank ya so much, Fear. glad it was pleasant on the ears. if you have any requests as well I'd be happy to at least try & learn em.

Daaaaaaaang, son! That was really good! I'm thoroughly impressed. *handshake*

Have you recorded I See Fire yet? I would LOVE to hear you sing that. xD

Ooooooh, I know! I don't know how much of a baritone/bass you are, but you should try "Me" from Beauty and the Beast. Or, "If I Can't Love Her" from the same musical.

Ooooooh! Those are good ones! I concur.

thank ya muchly. And thanks for the request. Was fun leaning that version of that song. *Handshake back*
I have not. I started learning awhile ago but got caught up in other stuff. So I'll try and start learning that soon.

I'm not much of a bass anymore. But I think I can definitely pull that/those off. I'll get on learning em soon.
thx for the requests guys!

Um...I guess I would like to hear you sing that song that Pippin sings in Return of the King? It's really short.

Thank you so much for the suggestions! Sorry I'm sooooooo late in replying. I went ahead and learned/preformed "Me" on my singing app just now and it's out as an open call so if someone joins me as Belle, I'll share that link also. (haven't learned "If I can't love her" yet) (There's a few mistakes in here and I'm obviously not a bass. But hey I tried. Lol (oh and I meant "All's well..." Not "All Wells" lol! Oops)

Hmm... Don't know what that is, but I can look it up later.

xD That was great. The creepy laughs were the best. Even with your higher voice, you still seemed to hit Gaston's part pretty well. =D
