Do you sing/think you can sing?

   Hello to all,
I am a guitarist/songwriter actively working for fun on my first prog concept album in my free time, but I have been so far unable to find a vocalist anywhere and I am getting desparate. I have the songs, lyrics, and vocal line written, and I just need someone to sit down and record vocals for me.
Here is a quick sample:

Anyway, my favorite vocalist is Daniel Gildenlow from Pain of Salvation (if you aren't familiar with these guys, go to their progarchives page and check them out). I am looking for a more modern, raspy, lower-register type of singing. Hell, if you can do a good Nickelback or Disturbed impersonation with your voice, that'd be great. Of course, I am pretty desperate and will settle for just about any kind of voice really.
I have 2 songs that I'd like done for now. If you think you can help me, please drop me a line at:

Obviously, you'll be given credit where it's due, and hopefully have fun because that's what making music is all about ;) Oh, and if you have samples of your voice, that'd be great, too.
Thanks for looking,
--Nik

	Hey man, that was pretty good stuff. I'm a little tierd now, but I'll send you an email later with some of my vocal work. I'm not great, but im alright, especailly in the lower register like you like

	Thanks for your replies. As long as you don't sound like William Hung, there should be no issues; Oh, and location isn't an issue, as long as you don't have a noticable accent when you sing in English--that's the main reason I don't sing on my own stuff. Anyway, yesterday I finished a new tune and I'd love to have someone do vocals for me... ?

	Well, I finished a new song that's also awaiting vocals-it's called "The End" It automatically plays when you click here: http://www.myspace.com/demx Sounds a bit repetitive right now since it doesn't have vocals, but it sounds cool, I think. That's the myspace for this project. And yes, I know there's a guy credited as vocals on there, but rest assured we are parting ways with him so obviously, if you record vocals for me, you'll get credited where you deserve ;) So again, if you want to give this song a shot, toss me a line at [email protected]
