Can you sing?

Postby Oterro » Fri Aug 26, 2011 1:22 pm

Original question, I think.

Well, can you sing? Do you have a nice singing voice, a good vocal range? Have you ever/do you sang/sing for a band?

I've never performed in a band, but I have been told I have a good singing voice. It's not great - and I've never heard it as being particularly pleasant, but I enjoy singing whilst playing guitar. Unfortunately, I lose my range while doing so or become distracted and confused. So I can only really do one or the other well, or both kind of crappily.

What of you?
we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

I'm pretty good. I always sang when I was young, although my voice is a little rougher these days. I'm the sort of person that people don't ask to sing or anything like that, but when they do, it's something they smile at and don't mind. Or, if they're a cat, they fall asleep purring, because they're tone-deaf anyway and anything with the proper phonology and a little ululation sounds awesome.

So yeah, if you want a little bit of a self-esteem boost, sing for your cat. ;)

I'm taking vocal lessons...

And my teacher says I've got a pretty good singing voice...

For a Baritone anyway...

Good range and stuff...Not enough to be a professional singer or anything, but ya know...Maybe I could sing back up in a musical or something...
And so it was, that I had never changed.

Provided that this 'singing' is monotone speech, then yes, I can sing very well indeed.

Especially seeing as the sounds I hear in my head are a completely different tone to what other people hear, and I mean COMPLETELY different.

Yes, I can. Tedious vocal training in my teens saw to that. I have a fairly broad vocal range, but tend to lean towards soprano.

I'm okay at it I guess, definitely better than a lot of pop artists life without auto tune. Pitch is good, range is very good, intonational is okay, breath isn't that well
