slight rantㅤ + ㅤannouncement. read, or don't read.

hi, tae here. im not sure where to start. i guess i'll start off by what i want to rant about.
ㅤso, i make covers, and i participate in collabs. i join lots of them, and ive been in lots of
them. i don't always get accepted into every collab i apply for though, and that's okay. 
but honestly, it does make me a bit discouraged. i don't know if anyone else who joins 
collas feels this way too when they aren't picked. obviously, there's a reason why we don't
get picked. for me, it's mostly that my voice is 'too strong' and it doesn't fit the song im applying
for. or my voice doesn't suit the song. it's not something people are looking for. so i wonder- maybe
i should change the way i sing? try to change my voice? make it a little softer so it's not too strong?
or perhaps people just simply don't like my voice. im not sure. nonetheless, its discouraging.
it makes me think 'maybe i should stop applying for collabs.' 'maybe i should quit making covers.'
i personally do not like the covers i make, mostly. there's a lot i have done but they're either on private
or i deleted them because no one likes them. i dunno - i think maybe it really is my voice. which comes 
to the announcement i wanted to make. im sure most of you will not care, but there's some groups im
apart of and entertainments that ive joined plus some that my friends wanted to open up with me.

i might decide to stop joining collabs + making covers. i just feel very discouraged right now.
if it really comes down to this, i'll finish all the collabs ive been picked for, and then leave. 
im acutally still deciding. maybe this feeling will be temporary, maybe i'll somehow get some
motivation to continue on. i dunno. im not even sure why im posting this - i guess i just wanted to 
let this out because ive been feeling this way for a very long time and i didn't really tell anyone about it.

yeah, that's it. if you're reading this - thank you for taking the time, haha. now you know.

If this is because of Sting.. The reason is because other CEOs wanted to pick u for another collab. And we have the tendency to not choose the same ppl for collabs we close around the same time to try to not give the person too much workload. But if u dont mind getting chosen for like 12 collabs at the same time with all the same amount of deadline... If you really do insist.... Then we may consider it... But if you want to leave, that's up to u too. In the end it's all ur decision. If you're hurt about the decisions we make, u can just come and tell us directly instead of making rant posts like these which are indirectly aimed at us, no? :)

Aww :( I just got to know you since I recently got back from my absence and to be really honest I like your voice a lot and enjoy listening to your covers. I understand how you feel not being picked for collabs, because I have faced it to. But don't take it as rejection or feel dejected because it just means that your voice is more suited to something else. Normally when casting a collab nobody would give a power house part to someone who can't belt, or give a subtle part to someone with a powerful voice. On top of that is singing style too. Everyone has a distinct style and we can't really put a hip hop swag in a ballad. Something like that. You don't have to change your voice, but there is a way you can make your voice more versatile. Like I've said, I love listening to your covers and while listening I hear how you make the cover yours. Like 4Walls (My favourite of your covers), it starts strong right off the bat which gives it a different feel (but in collabs they normally cast similar voices) and after listening to more collabs I notice you have this strong voice going all the way, so if you apply to songs like for example maybe Closer or Ah Choo, the Vocal color would be a little different. You practice singing in falsetto or just try without falsetto to make your voice less strong? I actually envy people with strong voices because they can easily practice to their soft voice but people with voice like me have a hard time trying to make a strong voice (or maybe that's just me but yeah). In the end this whole message is not to discourage you! Its to tell you why you may not have gotten the part, you have a wonderful voice and you can improve and increase the versatility to your voice. Also, this is to tell you to stay because I haven't gotten the chance to ahh its a secret... But it has something to do with your 4Walls cover. I was going to- *bleeeeeeeeeeeeep* And I was waiting for a day when you'd apply to my collabs T^T

Even though it's your choice I really encourage you not to stop because you have a really amazing voice! I know how you feel though. When I don't get chosen for a collab I think that I did something wrong or maybe I can't sing. And on SC people are always talking about "oh I got 186 likes that's not a lot but thanks" and I think that maybe there's something wrong with me because the most like I have is like 5! But I still keep trying in hope that one day I can be one of those people who get 168 likes! I really think you have an amazing voice and that you shouldn't stop but if that's what you want maybe you can try a short hiatus at first and then if that's what you want to do then stop but only if that's what will make you happy!^^
... This comment got deeper than I thought it would

I completely feel you. Especially because a lot of the times, the people that don't want me to be in this collab or don't want me singing this part are the same ones that then tell me they think I have a versatile voice and can do a lot and it's like???? You literally just said the opposite??? It is really discouraging and it normally makes me really sad. Especially since I did quit collabing for a few months and then it feels like I barely get picked for any collabs since I came back. >.< I hope that you don't quit collabing, personally, cuz I love singing with you, even though we've only done it a few times and I'd love to do it a lot more in the future like we planned, but at the same time I completely understand if you do. Hell, I did it too, so I completely understand why you would want to too and I can't say that you shouldn't. But I do hope you don't, cuz you have a wonderful voice and I think you can do a lot with it. Like your Shadow cover was really soft and gentle, so I think you can do a lot, not just power vocals like some may think (though obviously you're awesome at those too).

actually, i think you're one of the best vocalists i've seen on here. you have a very stable and unique voice. and believe me, i'm not trying to be nice bc if this wasn't true, i wouldn't even be commenting this (bc i hate to lie ugh). and when it comes to singing, i'm quite harsh.
well, if you don't give up from doing collabs and covers, i'm planning a project and i'd like you to be part of it! just pm me if you're interested.

Aw Tae don't say that, I really love your voice and all of your covers, of course there are times you may feel discouraged, it happens to me a lot too, but if there's something you don't like, try to change it n.n For example, I at high notes, and I spend a lot of time practicing to be better and that makes me feel good because I know I'll improve ~ Just don't let yourself give up because your voice is really amazing <3 And I'm actually the opposite, I think my voice is too soft, so yeah... xD
