A new series??
🕑 Added 2019-04-05 17:42:28 +0000 UTCHello my amazing patrons!!
I've been thinking on this for a long time, and I have just launched what may end up being the start of a little mini series on my new channel! Nothing makes my heart happier than singing in acoustically gratifying spaces. And in October and December two videos of me singing in a church went viral. I've decided to pursue filming a few videos live using only the raw audio captured on my mic and letting the space sing with me. I'm already learning a lot. And I can reveal to you all exclusively on Patreon that the next location I am scheduled to sing in is MAMMOTH CAVE!! It's the largest cave system in North America. I'm very excited to hear how that space sounds :)
If you all have suggestions of places I should visit then let me know! These are the kinds of videos that might show up once or twice a month. Hopefully we can start including other musicians as well. Let's see what we can discover!
Another exclusive announcement just for you....my new single called "unavailable" is ready and should be released April 19th if all goes well. Will confirm soon, but get excited!
Thank you all for your amazing support!! I'll be checking in on rewards and scheduling livestreams for this month shortly. Y'all are just the best. Thank you :)

OK maybe not my most practical suggestion but there is a massive sea cave called Fingal's Cave on the island of Staffa in the Scottish Hebrides. There's a path into it and it has great acoustics but you can only get there in good weather! I know there have been performances e.g. on the violin inside. If you are ever in the neighbouhood!
Hey, just discovered you on YouTube and love all that you are doing

I’m not sure about what it would do to the acoustics, but I think the rumble from the Water Wall in Houston, TX would create an interesting background noise.

This is absolutely beautiful, and I am 150% in full support of a series like this. I’ve always been more into the acoustic side of music myself, and there really is nothing like letting your own voice and your surroundings, for lack of a better term, sing together. I’m not American so I don’t have much in the way of place suggestions, but apparently the big Mormon tabernacle in Salt Lake City has amazing acoustics. At the very least I’ve heard the story about my aunt stubbing her toe, dropping a soft F bomb, and having it ring out loudly across the entire building a thousand times.

If you're ever over in the UK (specifically London) see if you can get some time in St Pauls Cathedral. I got the chance to sing in a choir under the dome when I was at school once - in our rehearsal they got us to just start with one note and let it ring out and... we all immediately started laughing because it was just so overwhelming to a bunch of 12 year olds...

Have you thought about recording impulse responses in these places, so you could load them up in a convolution reverb plugin and use them as reverbs in your songs and stuff? Here are several guides on how to do this <a href="http://tulrich.com/recording/ir_capture/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://tulrich.com/recording/ir_capture/</a> <a href="https://www.creativefieldrecording.com/2014/03/19/the-quick-easy-way-to-create-impulse-responses/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.creativefieldrecording.com/2014/03/19/the-quick-easy-way-to-create-impulse-responses/</a> <a href="http://designingsound.org/2012/12/29/recording-impulse-responses/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://designingsound.org/2012/12/29/recording-impulse-responses/</a>

This is an awesome idea! And this one is gorgeous! Nice job!

See, this is the only reason I wish I could sing: going to really cool locations to shoot videos. Well, can't sing or work a camera, or do tech anything. Can't wait to see how that huge cave treats your lovely voice! <3
This is so cool and exciting! What a creative project. Are you going to do any meet and greets along the way, or let fans sit in on your performance? I only live a few hours away from Mammoth Cave and would totally make that trip. I also understand that more people could mean more background noise which could ruin the take.

She has put out a few albums, including her all-original one Love Letter -- that's on Amazon. Is that what you meant?

Hi Malinda! I've got a suggestion for a place to sing! I don't know if you've ever been in a sports stadium when it's empty and there's not a game going on, but the echoes in there can be something else. Whether it's open or closed, field or foyer, stands or sandbox, major or minor, that could be something.

Do you think it would ever be possible for you to compile your songs on an album? I would love to buy some of your music on iTunes, but the thing is I don't really like buying separate singles; I only buy albums, or at least EPs.
