TommyGundersen Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Heya everyone! Before I move on to my point, I think a short introduction is appropriate as it's my first post. My name is Tommy Gundersen. I am a 20 year young composer who dream of making his way into the game-music career. I tried to join these forums about a year ago, but got occupied by school. Now I am back for full and hope to give Jillian a.k.a. Pixietricks a run for her money! Hehe! (Don't get me wrong, I love her entry!!) I hate this being my first post here, as I've been familiar with OCR for many years, but the deadline is due tomorrow... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As many of you probably know, there is a contest going on by Ubisoft/UJAM, where the winner will get the opportunity to sing for the main-theme in Assassin's Creed: Revelations! The first round, which ends tomorrow, is about reaching the top 20 on the leaderboards. Those will proceed to the finals. I am currently ranked #21. Tough luck! Thus I ask for you guys' kind help! It would be a great honor for me if you could listen to my track and vote should you like it! All votes are as worthy as gold to me right now! Listen to my contest entry, and vote I would like to thank all of you who've taken time to read this. Thanks! I hope to be a lot more active in the near future and be able to contribute my remixes to OCRE and the listeners she has to offer! Best regards, Tommy.

BardicKnowledge Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Voted for you, as more tenors need to make the top 20 for sure. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orlouge82 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Unfortunately, with the email sent to all OCR members urging them to vote for Jillian Aversa, you are effectively competing against the officially OCR endorsed participant in the competition. Thanks to this endorsement, her lead seems almost insurmountable. Voted for you anyway though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zircon Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Voted - also remember that # of votes doesn't matter once you're in the top 20, as that bracket is evaluated by judges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! I am the one here sitting with a semi-exam due tomorrow evening, and fighting at the border between rank #19 and #21! Ohh, life is stressful sometimes ...

Thanks to this endorsement, her lead seems almost insurmountable. Voted for you anyway though. Again, there's no reason we can't vote for more than one participant. He has the right idea, here - post about his participation in a VGM forum and ask people to support him. Which is what I'm doing now. I don't know if there's any possibility of editing tracks (probably not), but for future reference editing out the inhaling sounds would remove the disconnect it ends up creating. That's the beauty of recording - you can remove imperfections that are physically impossible to remove otherwise . Your voice is great, btw. Don't worry - you still have my vote.

TommyGundersen Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Thanks a lot guys ... I am so stressed about keeping my...

You guys might just help me relax a bit x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hey, if you don't manage to make it on the final track I could always use a good male tenor...

zircon Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Gario actually with this contest, you have to record everything in one take with no editing. You use their web interface. This makes it pretty fair and a real test of vocal performance as opposed to editing/post-production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gario Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 O rly? Well, like I said I don't know much about the details of this contest. Thanks for clearing that up - that actually makes your performance that much more impressive. Also, with a phone...? ... ... ... Meh, whatever works, eh?

I'll be your tenor if you give me tenure Here's mine for a sample: http://www.ujam.com/songs/j4Kn6Q9SzPh5 We're totally not breaking the top 20 though, bros sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matoshi Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hey everyone, first of all: Cool voice, Tommy! Good luck with making the Top20, you are very close I got a friend of mine to participate in the contest. Her submission is excellent and should definitely be in the Top20, but we obviously suck at promoting, so the entry is only at #69. Check it out here: I'd like some feedback please. IMO her entry is in a different league, even compared to most of the current Top20. Not only does she have a great voice, but the vocal melody is well thought out, too (most of the submissions I've heard sound completely improvised and lack direction). Or am I just being biased?
