WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:06.350 So... you think you can sing Wonderbolt, huh? 00:00:24.230 --> 00:00:35.210 (Cyril the wolf impression.) So way back in 2013 00:00:35.210 --> 00:00:39.170 dBPony contacted me and said "Hey, I could use your vocals for a song" and I'm 00:00:39.170 --> 00:00:43.790 like sweet, cool, send it over. He didn't send me the song, he sent me a script 00:00:43.790 --> 00:00:47.390 (sort of.) In fact, he just sent me one line-- "Yes ma'am!" 00:00:47.390 --> 00:00:49.910 And he's like "Yeah, anybody you can get to record this would be great 00:00:49.910 --> 00:00:53.690 because I'm working on a song for it." And I'm like "Cool." So I recorded several 00:00:53.690 --> 00:00:57.710 takes of me shouting "yes ma'am" in varying voices. Five minutes, I was done. 00:00:57.710 --> 00:01:02.000 Fast-forward, dBPony releases this song and I'm like "Oh my god, it's the song where I 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.130 shouted "yes ma'am". And it was like the most amazing song ever. There's obviously some 00:01:07.130 --> 00:01:10.790 things about it that that could have been worked on. The mixing on it was 00:01:10.790 --> 00:01:14.240 atrocious. I'm sorry dB, but the mixing on it was so 00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:19.399 awful, but it was such a good song and I've always felt the urge that I should 00:01:19.399 --> 00:01:24.560 like do something with it and and just sort of make my own version. Fast forward 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:29.000 a couple years from that and I decide I while I'm working on the "Something 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.869 Special" album I'm like, I need a couple more songs to fill it out and it's like 00:01:32.869 --> 00:01:37.130 "Hey, I should do a Wondebolt cover." I sent dB a message-- I'm like, "Hey, can I do 00:01:37.130 --> 00:01:42.200 this cover?" He's like, "Yeah, sure, go for it." I'm like, "Great! Awesome." Could not sing it. 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.369 I just absolutely could not sing it and I've tried it many ways-- I've tried 00:01:46.369 --> 00:01:53.990 recording this song probably 20 or 30 times. I got Cyril involved, we did a 00:01:53.990 --> 00:01:58.100 whole version with the two of us together trying to sing it-- I hated it. 00:01:58.100 --> 00:02:01.819 I hated every single time I've recorded this song. I thought it would be cool 00:02:01.819 --> 00:02:05.929 because I had this entire instrumental and karaoke track sitting around, just 00:02:05.929 --> 00:02:10.540 without lead vocals. I thought it'd be cool to send it out to you guys and see 00:02:10.540 --> 00:02:14.569 if you guys would be willing to try to record for it. I want you to record 00:02:14.569 --> 00:02:19.310 yourselves singing Wonderbolt. Now you can record the audio separately 00:02:19.310 --> 00:02:23.569 from the video, you can do whatever you need to the audio as long as you send me 00:02:23.569 --> 00:02:27.080 the audio track with the video. Just make sure to get a video of yourself singing 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.580 it afterwards, because I want to put you guys into a music video! I need you to 00:02:31.580 --> 00:02:36.379 make sure that you record just the vocals with no backing track. You can put 00:02:36.379 --> 00:02:39.410 the backing track through your headphones, just record yourself singing. I want to 00:02:39.410 --> 00:02:43.550 make sure that you record dry vocals so that it sounds like this... 00:02:43.550 --> 00:02:50.630 And not this... If you're an instrumentalist don't worry, if you want 00:02:50.630 --> 00:02:54.980 to record an instrumental part for this-- feel free. And basically, you just take 00:02:54.980 --> 00:03:01.160 your files, upload the video to YouTube, send me the link and send me your audio 00:03:01.160 --> 00:03:04.520 files if you have separate audio files to wonderbolt@forestrainmedia.com 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:09.320 That's pretty much it! Thank you guys so much for 00:03:09.320 --> 00:03:13.250 participating in this! I cannot wait to be able to mix you guys together into a 00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:18.920 giant music video, showcasing all of your talent together. I think it's gonna 00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:23.860 be pretty cool! Until next time, keep rocking!
