Terry, almost everybody thinks his own voice doesn't sound that great.
I would mix yours using a Hall reverb, and as Donny says, emphasize it more and the harmony less.
Good job on the songs.

Don,
Thanks for the input and listen, I may try that a bit more on future recordings. Then you guys'll be sorry you ever suggested it.

Terry, I think your voice is a lot better than you seem to think. I hear a lot of unsureness being covered up with effects in order to sort of hide your real voice. I would strongly suggest you try less effects and put the vocal more up front.

In "Welcome to America" I was surprised at how much that reminded me of Donovan on "Sunshine Superman", one of my all time favorite albums. In fact, I have it on CD and still play it every once in a while.

Keep at it; it's not as bad as you are inclined to think. A lot of us (me included) don't originally like the sound of our voice to us, but we adjust and accept it (or quit singing, LOL) and go on about making music.

Tomcat,
Thanks for the listen and feedback, much appreciated. I guess owing to all the input here, I am going to have to go back to the old days when I did just do vocals with a bit of reverb and chorus.

Hi Terry,
That's all I do put a little treb up and a tiny bit of reverb... Sorry I've been unable to hear the songs yet. Hopefully during the new years break I'll get some time.. I don't even have time to eat these days with everyone getting new PC's for christmas and configuring wirless networks and so on... Can't complain after being un-employeed for 3 months.
