I have quite a few vocal influences....Chris Cornell, Maynard, Jared Leto, Brandon Boyd to name a few. In regards to who has influenced my vocals the most and made the biggest impact on the way I sing... it would have to be my friend Sahaj Ticotin from RA. He met me when I was 18 or so and really helped me to suck considerably less.....
Thanks! I mix mostly out of the box these days.
Joey has a certain je nous se qua that really turns me on.
We're working as fast as we can on it. It's coming along. Hard to nail down an exact release date at this point
They're up! Check out the official music video

Well if you're looking for a cheap studio condenser I'd recommend RODE or Blue mics.
This question confuses me....is it for live or studio purposes? If a mic is too sensitive turn down the preamp gain.
That's always sort of an enigmatic term people throw around. But what you should do is try and get your tone to resonate in your soft palate and not your throat. I would imagine you're singing too much in your throat and it is altering your tone. The "above the pencil" exercise from Melissa Cross is a good starting place to focus on getting your mind and voice to work together. Remember your instrument is your body and getting your mind involved is just as important to your voice as anything else. Also, don't worry too much about volume....that's what microphones are for. The trick is to figure out how to get a nice round tone without pushing too hard. I give vocal lessons if you want to shoot me a private message on Facebook.
I like to warm up each spot of my voice separately. So I'll warm up my low register....middle part of my voice...and the high part (not falsetto). I usually stick with lip trills and humming until that spot feels warmed up and then I move on. This sometimes takes me up to 2 hours if I'm feeling tired or in a dry climate. I'll always end with full voice sirens. A crucial part to this is I drink warm throat coat tea for the entire duration of the warmup. That seems to cut the time in half. I actually carry around my own kettle so I can always have warm water. Mixing in a bit of honey helps as well. The key is to make sure during your warmup you're resonating the pitch in your soft palate and not in your throat....or that defeats the entire purpose of the warmup and you'll ruin your voice before you even start singing. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately the only way is complete surgical castration.
