ROTARY DIAL【Oktavia】【歌ってみた】

when i think of a rotary dial i always think of this weird dream i once had where i was trapped in a house that was on fire and i tried to call 911 but all the phones in the house had rotary dials with tiny holes so i died because my fingers were too big

Hi KIDS what the heck is up I did one of the covers I was supposed to do (for my 2k? 3k? celebration? lmao i'm so far behind how did we get to 6k but nevertheless thank you)
Also this is a song I've wanted to get to for a while. It's really catchy haha
I should mention that I probably got a little bit too into this. I think my theatre shows pretty well throughout the song... My goal was to have 20's Frances and 50's Frances have a bit of differentiation in voice. So for the first verse I tried singing it a little more sweetly and then just went normal for 50's Frances tbh (HI GUYS I'M OKTAVIA AND *SCREAMS*)
Anyway. Thanks as always for your support. A lot of you requested this so I hope I was able to live up to your expectations!

It's always strange to me whenever you talk about your "yelling" lyrics as if it's a bad thing, or going too far, or anything like that. The power you have in your voice has always been amazing to listen to, even in the songs where you do tone it down for the softer feel (like in I'm Glad You're Evil Too). Your voice always seems pretty darn just right whatever you try with it, so I don't see the reason to take issue with it! As always, thank you so much for continuing to share your singing. It's always so nice to see something new from you.

YOU KNOW THIS COVER’S GOOD WHEN THE FUCKING OG CREATOR OF THE SONG MAKE’S A COMMENT ON SAID COVER- (anyways keep up the good work, sound’s super nice! ❤)

[@LlMlNAL]

i love how this has references to Housewife Radio (or the other way around) but you're voice is so amazing and if you haven't i would love to hear you sing Goodbye, Ms. Flower Thief.

[@CherriSherry]

This is actually a part of a three part series, the woman (Frances) in this song has a son (Henry) that she's referring to in this song who she's abusive towards (constantly wishing for his death so that they will no longer "be alone"). Eventually, Henry meets a girl (named Nancy) who he falls in love with and marries. Seeing as he is now married, he sees no reason to live with his mother any more and cuts her out entirely, leaving her to be TRULY alone. So yeah it's therin referencing itself!

[@abelerculano7565]

Lucifleur so what are the part orders?

[@BlueRendezvous]

Abel Erculano Rotary dial, Black and white and Housewife Radio (I know it’s late but e)

[@valxena9640]

Oh my god, your voice is so wonderful in this. Ahhhhh! Also! I absolutely love the Communications series, so I'm just glad to see you covering more of it! Love it, as always! Thank you for singing~

[@bug1268]

Finally a version I can play near people

[@unorthodoxic4691]

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide of Oktavia covers.

[@anonalpaca2513]

I'm pretty late, but I just want to say how well delivered this song is! This is why human covers of Vocaloid songs, to give that extra bit of emotion a song like this needs. I especially love how the tone gets more and more desperate with every repeat of "stitch, sew," how much power is behind the chorus, and how over the course of the song, the tone goes from quiet and reserved to determined and angry.

[@glasswing3054]

When you record yourself singing for a cover, do you sing it all at once or in parts, because if it's the former, then DANG because I'm having a hard time singing with you!

[@OktaviavonSeckendorff8]

For this one I totally had to do it in parts (because of how certain sections overlapped and because WHERE DO I BREATHE IN THIS)!

[@glasswing3054]

no wonder you were able to do this like i was out of breath and dying while also trying to hit dem high notes and at the end of the song my voice just cuts off? then i was trying to breathe all the air from the surroundings i love this cover btw? mad respect to you

[@dawniefawn211]

i’ve been listening to this cover ever since it came out, it’s still one of my absolute favorites ❤️ but 2023 and it’s still my favorite i still listen to and love all of your covers, i’ve listened to you since i was in middle school and now i’m grown and still check your page thank you for your content and all your hard work, you still inspire me to this day ❤

[@aimerc617]

the “one - two - three - four” at 2:05 genuinely surprised me for a bit, I’m wearing earbuds but it sounds like it’s *there*

[@magigal]

I’ve listened to this 87 times. ITS DRIVING ME MAD!!!!

[@sheridansasmor3973]

Legitimately your voice gives me life!!! Not only is your voice really clear and super pitch perfect, but it also sounds so much more... normal?? Than other cover artists (not to throw other artists under the bus they're good too but) I love singing but my voice is never as high as [insert popular Vocaloid cover artist], so seeing someone with a similar vocal range makes me feel 10 million times more comfortable when singing!!!
