awooooooooga!

so, you wanna start making covers...! ✧ youtaite 101 #1

took me long enough to do this, but i did a little thing on youtube about things to consider before making covers, or how you can prep for it..!

i'm not the best person to ask about technique since i'm the type to throw myself against a wall until i make a dent, then i do it again lol.

all i can tell you is that there's a bunch of resources online by actual professionals that can help you much more than i can. and in the wise words of the wonderful bob ross:

fun fact, tried taking a picture of the contents of my bag as soon as I got this ask but uh. it was 50% receipts, 20% trash, 20% old person meds & 10% lip products (i counted like. 4 different tubes of lip tints)

where is my wallet??????

i have so many questions

it's not that adult life consumes all my time... i just do not like watching anime/tv/movies. i prefer reading!!!!

i am up to date with the current big 3 though i think?

frieren (up to date w manga)

dungeon meshi (only up to date with anime bc a friend doesn't want to be left behind)

apothecary diaries (slowly reading through the books)

im not too big of a romcom fan (which is what my friends usually watch, blegh) but i did start chapter 1 of horimiya!!

and i've been meaning to read tacopi's original sin/the summer hikaru died / oyasumi punpun just because. it seems very up my alley. but if i read then i don't have time to record and that's sort of sad.

sorry i sort of rambled there!!

yep, no need to ask permission unless you're doing it for Big Money.

if it's like. community stuff though idgaf go ham

follow silly blogs and repost silly posts, you're at the place where history is made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's patreon exclusive :'D

don't think too hard and just do it. your first few covers won't be good and you probably won't post it online, which is ok. find a community of people who will encourage you to keep trying, like on discord. idk what kids do these days. but if im sure of one thing, you guys can be really resilient, so keep at it and figure out if it's right for you. hope that helps!

How did you manage to sing that fast???

struggled a lot actually LOL

good timing, undead alice has been uploaded on spotify through my deco*27 cover album, meta/morphose :D

uwaa... as opposed to an analogue/live musician? wahhh that's something you need to figure out for sure...

the reason i started was because i didn't have friends. no friends, nothing to do after school... i listened to music a lot and i liked to sing. but there was nothing aside from reblogging posts/finding new music/drawing. to be honest, you have a leg up in life i never had! and im incredibly jealous haha.

as for how i got started, i literally just picked up my headphone mic + recorded into garageband. that's it. nothing really fancy. but it sparked a passion for singing that burned even brighter than what i already had before.

thats really it - to start, all you gotta do is mess around and start. that's how i usually get into all my hobbies. good luck anon!! rachie is rooting for you!!
