 Post subject: growing older can be a bummer..especially voice changePosted: Thu Dec 20, 2007 8:17 am 
By far all the girls in Eisley are some of my favorite vocalists. Unique, powerful, inspiring..I could go on and on, thats why I signed up for this forum, they are an amazing band worth talking about. With that being said, I'm kind of bummed at how time can change you're voice, because IMO, Stacy's and Sherri's voices are definitely not the same. I mean yes, I think their voices are still just as good ..just not in the same way, so I guess its just hard for me to accept the inevitable change. I can definitely tell Stacy's voice is a lot deeper now on Combinations and live, as well as Sherri's being a bit different too (kind of hard for me to explain how) in my opinion. I know for a fact mine has changed for the worse.. I can't hit as many notes and my voice in general is not as versatile. Practice makes perfect though, but still growing older has changed my singing voice to a point that I'm not super satisfied with like I used to be. It's almost like I forgot how to do a lot of things I used to do and no matter how hard I try I can't find it in me to do them again. So I learn new styles and tricks and just roll with it I guess. What do you all think of Eisley's singing now a days? p.s. They are truly blessed I can tell you that much! |

I think their voices and ears have improved immensely. Their technical skills have improved, and their intonation has also definitely improved. In fact, I have a hard time listening to some of the old stuff because of the voices. I think they're much more rich, mature and developed in the best way possible. _________________ my name's carrie and i love a good sandwich so if you have a sandwich, come roll with me!

I think their voices have only gotten better. And, it's not like they're dudes - their voices don't change that much from when they were younger... |

I agree, they have gotten better. I'm just saying the change is hard to accept even if there are improvements..nothing sounds like stacy's eerie voice on blackened crown (although that was years ago). In my opinion it's less enchanting/magical and more emotional/moving now it seems..which is totally cool, just different. |

Yeah, they have grown so much in every way. I haven't had much trouble accepting it, though, since they've gotten so good.

I think their voices are even better and far more improved since their older songs. Especially Stacy's. |

My older brother lived there for most of a year (back when Austin was first gaining national prominence), and it was BMX nirvana. Alas, I'm a good 5 hours away.  Nice to hear Austin is still on top, though.
I've seen Eisley in Austin about 4 times, though.  _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

They are much more in tune with each compared to the old EP days, and Stacy sings with greater resonance and emotion. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

The only way they've changed that I can see (besides improving, as is bound to happen when you tour practically constantly for four years straight) is that it is now much easier to tell them apart. Stacy used to sound just like Sherri; on the independent recordings and Laughing City EP I can not tell them apart. Now they're both quite distinctive. Even when an artist doesn't start their career pre-puberty, voices change. Bono doesn't sing like 1980s Bono anymore; Thom Yorke doesn't sing like 1993 Thom Yorke anymore; KT Tunstall doesn't sing like pre-2004 KT Tunstall anymore. Vocal changes are part of being a singer, regardless of age. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

He said something about him smoking too much. |

He said something about him smoking too much. Even if a singer doesn't smoke, most venues are totally full of secondhand smoke. It'll all wreak the same havoc on your vocal cords. Of course, production values have changed a lot over the last two decades and producers use better-quality mics, different effects, and other mastering techniques now that could also make singers sound different. Guitars on an album recorded in the 80s sound different from guitars on a current album, even if it's the same guitar. The same is often true of vocals. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

It's really funny to me to listen to Robert Smiths snotty punk voice on the super old Cure demos. _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

Yeah, Bono sounds awful now. That's what happen when you don't take care of your voice. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

I love their younger voices, but I also love their matured voices as well. It's nice to have a good amount of songs from both. It'd also be really cool to hear some of their really early stuff redone (ahem... Mr. Pine, Blackened Crown... Pretender (just kidding )). And not just live, but re-recorded.
But, I don't expect them to do that, and I totally understand why. It's not like they can improve upon those brilliant songs. |
