Okay, I'm switching to a different account from now on.

I've been using the other one for years, but I want to keep my usernames consistent, and the one I'm the most recognized with is Phlakes. And really, I thought of "Remskillz" when I was ten or something, because my dog's name is Remy, and I was stupid.

So yeah. It won't make much of a difference, but against my better judgment, I'll be making more of these, and if the channel gets any followers, I want it to be something that'll work as well as possible.

So friend this channel and everything.

To be honest your singing isn't off key most of the time. sometimes you have some slurs/slides into the notes rather than hitting them right on, but with some practice, I think you may be able to sing well.

The one very high note in the song was also a little shaky, but again, that can be fixed with practice and good control of your vocal chords.

After all, I'm a believer that anyone can sing (excluding those who are tone deaf).

Yeah, this is literally the first time. And my voice is basically right between two ideal vocal ranges, so generally low notes are just a bit too low and generally high notes are just a bit too high. My voice is stuck in the worst place possible. But that might change in a few years, especially with practice.

And as I said, I'll be doing more of these, so maybe after a dozen or so there'll be some noticeable improvement.

And the next song I'm looking at?

Fuck yeah.

WHAT AM DOING? WHY AM I DOING THIS?

Well, you know what, screw it. I suck at it, but I enjoy doing it. So I'm doing another one.

Aw hail yea. But this one's quite a bit shorter, more for practice than anything else.

And I think I'm improving a little bit. Like the new one says, I'll keep practicing.

Definitely much better than your first one. If you're having trouble with the low notes, try harmonizing with them or going up an octave instead.

Lol failsetto.

Speaking of Auto-tuning....

That's mostly good for Parodies, or Hipster Music. Not for talented people. Like Phlakes.

Okay, as you know I've been doing this, but I also have two more in the works. Two more that I like a lot more than anything else. The first, which is completely written already, is this, and the other which is still in early development stages is this. The Donkey Kong one will be a lot of fun, I can tell. /not sarcasm. /also not sarcasm.

I'll probably be recording both Zelda songs on the 26th.

Alright, I've dropped Gerudo Valley because it was just practice in the first place and it's very vocally unfriendly. But, I've also found my next one after I finish the Donkey Kong one-

Right here. And, most importantly, with this one I'll be experimenting with multiple voice tracks.

Anyway, I'm recording the Ocarina of Time one on Tuesday. Hopefully. And I hope it sucks less than the last two.

Well, I lied. I recorded it today.

And it sucks marginally less.

The parts that I get right almost sound like I know what I'm doing, but I still have lots of shaky parts. Also, feel free to subscribe and all that shit. Maybe share it on Facebook so your friends can laugh at it. No such thing as bad publicity.

I've also taken my first steps into writing my own songs. I can't read music so I can't compose on a computer, so I need to do it all myself, but I can't play any instruments. So it'll be a Capella. Well, basically. It's pretty short, being my first one and all, but all the lyrics are down-

And don't let the first verse fool you. The title is very appropriate.

I Suck (Mood Whiplash)

When you think of the one that you love, you get that fuzzy feeling
Right in your heart-al area (That’s near your heart)
Followed by self-loathing and a little bit of guilt
And you know to save some time and just give up

Why can’t you just talk to her?
Well you can answer that yourself
It’s because you suck
Why do you suck so much?
Well you can answer that one too
It’s because you really suck

When you feel yourself getting depressed, you punch it in the crotch
And you tell it to go f**k off
You OD on some acid and try to jump off a bridge
But a car hits you and takes your leg clean off

Now you’re in the hospital
How did you get in such deep s**t?
It’s because you suck
Why do you suck so much?
Well you can answer that one too
It’s because you really suck

At least you have some time to think it over now
And by “think it over” you mean “why did I do this for that worthless, unappreciative, stupid, fat, and ugly cow?”
Was it worth it?
Spoiler alert: no, it wasn’t

Well, I've already hit rock bottom this early in my "career", and I've started writing a slow, sad song from the persona of a Magikarp. My mind is gone. Here's a little bit from it-

Quote:
 
They said that I was magic
They said I could be anything

But now I see
They were lying through their teeth
I’m a raging dragon, I’m a raging storm
I want to let my true self free
But I just splash around, because it’s all I know to do
I want to evolve for you
And for myself too
