I put a new (to this site) track up in my profile. It's the first track and called dead to me. Give it to me straight!

I like it.
I think you're talented bro. I think your best talents are songwriting and arranging. I know some people have said you are a great vocalist, but I wouldn't say that. Your vocals are a little nasaly, somewhat thin, and you go flat a little too much for my taste. What your voice does have is originality and tons of personality, and sometimes that's more important than just being a great vocalist. Most people don't know how to dissect what they are hearing and express it in musical terms. They just know what they like or don't like. Your vocals express.... scratch that, they....ooze personality.
You would be great in musical theater. That's not an insult. Musicals demand multiple talents - acting, singing and dancing. Your style is that of a born performer. I also think you could be successful as a niche artist in your own right. There are tons of niche artists that I personally enjoy very much, but they generally have a cult following because they appeal to a specific group. But they enjoy tremendous success, both artistic and financial. And their followers are tremendously loyal, even rabidly so.
I think you are talented and your work is full of personality and originality. You just need the right vehicle to express it all, and be rewarded for it.
Living in Roanoke is not going to help though.

You need to be somewhere you can knock on doors and bug the right people enough, that they give you your shot.
