    Trouble is my singing is really weak and not particularly rock and roll.. or metal for that instance! lol! The female bit comes in as the original is a very metal song, sung by men... so wondering if it'll sound daft with a woman on backing vocals... but hell.. what's the worst that could happen. lol

    You're a backing singer. If you had a powerful voice that could belt out opera, you'd be singing lead opera. So do your backing singing and don't expect too much out of yourself.

    At least you don't play the Shoop-Shoop song...

    I think soft female vocals sound good on rock tracks - I'm thinking of something like Kate Moss on La Belle et la Bete - she's hardly got a strong voice but it kind of works.

    If you can't sound rock, don't - go for contrast. :D

    Thanks... luckily I won't be doing it on my own as D will be singing the lower octave and me the higher.. so at least everyone won't be focusing on just me.. lol

  • Do they allow you 10% over without marking you down? I know that won't help with part A but it will with the essay? I'd rather be over than under though, its easier to chop down than struggle to add.

    Any excel tables - cut and paste them into power point and put them in as a picture ;) ?
    A lot of OU courses have a presentation, overall essay grade - part of this will be the word count so this is all you can usually (BUT CHECK) be marked down on - anything superfluous that can be put in an intro and then have a questions section with "questions word count : ~1.6k" or whatever.... word counts can be rounded down to two significant figures in my opinion....

    Don't do what I had a student do - stick a white COLOURED "-" between all the words, I read it in word too!!! Took me ages to figure out !!!!!! the spellign/grammar thing was doing :rolleyes:
    Cutting the words down often makes the answers better though.... :p
