--- ABOUT THIS SONG
In 1858, the first known baseball song was written, "The Base Ball Polka!" It was not quite as famous as Jack Norworth's 1908 classic, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", which was written on some scrap paper on a train ride to Manhattan, New York. Norworth then provided those paper scrap lyrics to Albert Von Tilzer who composed the music which in turn was published by the York Music Company and before the year was over, a hit song was born.
-- LYRICS
Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game.

    Yes, I sing a little differently than when I speak. In a nutshell, one speaks more by making most of the resonance in the mouth, whereas singing makes more use of the resonance chambers in the throat as well. You may also notice the larynx is lower when I sing than when I speak. I'm also a bit louder when I sing. :) Contrary to what Harold Hill says in The Music Man, singing is *not* sustained talking.

    Thanks for the feedback, I'll try and work on improving dynamics more. You're right, multitracking makes this process a bit more difficult, and more so because I had never heard this song before recording this video, all I had was the sheet music.

    Scrumptious, as ever. WISH you could hear the acapella version of this performed by the all-male chorus of Texas A&M University: as "Aggies" [I am one!] used to be the subject/object of many a joke, singers gleefully performed "Ball Game" by making one TINY change: "Take me" was hit on the SAME NOTE; EVERY remaining syllable was thus ONE NOTE REMOVED from its "proper" tone. When one sings "at the old ball game," the melody STILL has a note to go. MADDENING! And very clever.

    I'm most comfortable singing between G2 and F4, which is usually bass / baritone range, yes. I've sung lead in collabs too (With A Little Help From My Friends, Somebody Loves Me, Hello My Baby, etc.) and baritone (How Deep Is Your Love), so I don't have a strong preference for any voicing in particular. :)

    You mean clipping, I suppose. Yeah, it happened on my baritone track on 2 notes, I was much louder than I expected and the audio clipped. Despite that technical problem, I liked that take more than all the others I made, so I kept it. :)

    I'm a research statistician in real life, but music is starting to take more and more space indeed. It doesn't pay bills because people don't buy the songs enough (yet), but I'm hoping this will change. A Cappella isn't mainstream music, and I'm doing everything on my own from home with pretty basic equipment (home computer, $100 microphone and a digital camera), so it's hard to compete. People have very high standards nowadays and prefer pop music to actual singing unfortunately.

    Thanks! Bass and Lead are in the center because they are the most important voices in the barbershop style. The Baritone and Tenor fit in the harmony but are typically less audible. Baritone & Lead tracks often cross, contrary to Bass & Lead, so this also makes it easier for the listener to follow the melody line when the Baritone is pushed to the side. There may be other reasons I don't know of (maybe the Baritone part is easier to sing with only a Bass rather than a Bass *and* a Lead). :)

    Thanks for the explanation. Another user (@timbock2) replied, saying that he didn't have any issues when listening to the video on good speakers. Since I got my current computer (a Late '07 MacBook Pro), I've noticed that the sound is a bit flat (virtually no bass, decent treble, but no real richness to the sound) so I wouldn't be surprised if the speakers have other issues as well.

    In the "Hello Mary Lou", I believed Sonny knew Mary Lou. He internalized the words and it was reflected in his singing. That is the direction I am talking about. I want you to be singing this song at a stadium with 60,000 people and you are energizing the crowd. By the time you get to "1..2..3 strikes your out" the crowd is cheering and you are right with them. These are my thoughts. You are the one doing. My two favorites are the "Champs-Elysees" and clean the house videos. I believed them.
