The English Actor

[pauli]

Thanks for commenting and your observations; I agree wholeheartedly. I think the compression's contribution to the sibilance issue may be related to the timing... And the raw vocal tracks during the choruses are very, very out of tune, with many of the all important high A's undershot to a somewhat flat G#! And pitch processing, without soul crushing hours of fine tuning has a nasty habit of screwing with sibilance, so I'll be checking the timing of my corrections.

As for the overlong intro, that's certainly an easy thing to fix. I've already carved the arrangement up like a thanksgiving turkey, so why not trim the fat a little more.

And I really would have loved to hear this song performed in a key more suited to this guys range. He has a nice voice which reminds me of an odd cross of Bono and Peter Gabriel, and my ears are sensitive to even the best pitch processing when the corrections are this severe :/
