I can't join a band until I fix two things.   ;)]]> Guitar Players Discussion corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-does-a-band-expect/#post-50307 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-does-a-band-expect/#post-50306 Wed, 07 Jan 2004 20:16:54 +0000 I don't know if every band expects this, but ones that want to make money certainly will... you need to approach the music as your profession.

I think this would be good advice for any band, even the amateur ones.  

Drunkenness and lack of punctuality is not appreciated.]]> Guitar Players Discussion hbriem https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-does-a-band-expect/#post-50306 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-does-a-band-expect/#post-50305 Fri, 02 Jan 2004 21:21:24 +0000
I've been in bands where one member was a gifted musician, but blew off rehearsals, showed up stoned for gigs, etc.  I'm sure he thought it was part of the 'creative musical image' or some such BS... but if I'm making my living off playing, I can't waste my time working with someone who doesn't treat it like what it is: a job!]]> Guitar Players Discussion NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-does-a-band-expect/#post-50305 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-does-a-band-expect/#post-50304 Fri, 02 Jan 2004 21:16:09 +0000 I'm a vocalist in my own band, so i can say, that all i want from my band is to be serious!! And i guess, what they expect from me is to follow the beat right - thats probably the most important thing, if you're a vocalist, you know what im talking about. If you have never sang in the band before, don't panic, cause it's not so hard to sing right, you know, but you must bring some new elements into "the game". And you should develope some friendly relationsheep with the the band, thats important, cause you need to feel welcome. If you're not singing right on a few rehearsals, it's cause you need to develope the feeling first, and the feeling WILL come pratcise.
Whatever you do, don't give up, be serious and try to sing your own songs eventually, and don't worry, it's easy!

P.S. sorry for my spelling.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'm pretty good at staying in tune, and of course I think my character's pretty good  ;D  As far as timing, I've never sang with a live band before - mostly taped music, live piano, live orchestra, etc.  it never would have occured to me that I wouldn't necessarily be able to hear much besides the drums.  I'll have to try practicing with a metronome or something.  As for mics, I've always sung with whatever mic was provided, and I really don't know anything about them outside of how to sing into one.  If I wanted to get a mic, does anyone have any idea how I would pick one or how much that would run me?
