Finally, double the speed of your own recording afterwards to create the illusion that you're a Busta Rhymes or Tonedeff imitator; Weird Al Yankovich did something like this in "Hardware Store" and "White and Nerdy" and it came out perfectly fine. It might work for you as well...I've never tried it yet, but it should work.

I've thought of this, but I have a feeling it's gonna end up sounding like shit and I'm not feeling too hot about putting down days on a song that might go nowhere. I'm sure there's some way to do this properly that I'm completely unaware of, but when you fiddle with the tempo without fiddling with the pitch at the same time you fuck with the sample a bit too much. I know lowering the tempo completely and utterly fucks the recording over, but I can't remember if the effects of upping the tempo are quite as severe. If they're not, it's worth a shot. I'll have to play around with it a little.

edit: there's also the thing about me being a fucking terrible singer heh. I'll have to use autotuning which I'm not a huge fan of either. either way, I'll screw around with this idea for a while longer before I give up and do something else.
