Long "Me" in a Chorus

jordangaw

Working a new track, the Chorus line is "You Know Meeeeeeeeee" but I have a habit of going to an A sound, like "MAAAAAAAAAY" instead of the E.
I tracked this before starting the KTVA course and now have MAY's instead of ME's.

Is this an artistic choice, should I retrack trying the E or is this the best approach to get that open sound that comes from the A vs the tighter E sound for these types of situations?

Here's a sample, thanks all!

Hi @jordangaw,

I am not a native speaker, I am german. But for me it sounds very natural with the "m-Aye". I wouldn't change it.

The most common way to do this with more comfort and ease up high is to do the MAAAAAAAAAye-EE with a short EE at the end. That makes it sound more like MEEEE but with less wear and tear on the voice.
