Shelley Fleming

I am also a singer and I have had feature vocals in electronic music, as well as tune intros for dj's, and my voice has been sampled for use in songs. Everybody listens when I tell a story, my regular speaking voice is very musical and animated, but with a sensual undertone. It almost has an Irish/Scottish lilt to it at times, almost sounds very childlike at times, but has a flip side of sounding deeply sensual. I have sung since I was 3 years old. I used to sing to the Beatles and I learned how to harmonize thanks to Crosby Stills Nash and Young. My voice has always been unique, my kindergarten teacher allowed me to do the story time reading on a regular basis which was a special honour, as it was the teacher's task, but she recognized that I had an ability that should be shared with others. I have taken a few classical voice lessons, sung in choirs, and always for my own personal enjoyment. I have learned how to breathe, enunciate clearly, and I am the kind of person who when visiting a foreign land, picks up the dialect and speaks like a local within hours! It recent years, it has been a great pleasure to be part of independent music by working with a producer who took my a'cappellas and made them into beautiful songs. I don't have very good equipment at this time, and there is some line noise in my recordings. I have been teaching myself how to EQ my recordings, and clean them up. By day I was an office professional, and I used my voice in my spare time. I have decided that I would like to do more with my voice and use my gift, so I left the office world to offer my skills to your project! I am open to a variety of voice opportunities and would like to try some new things, beyond what I have done with music.
