What Kind of Singer Are You?
I inquire because I just tried kareoke (sp?) Enough said, right? Of course not. I won't disgrace Go Your Own Way, so I tried that song Just What I Needed by The Cars, another favorite. I thought it was ok (as there were no high notes to hit ), but of course, with kareoke, hilarity ensues for no reason.....
Sorry for the story Anyways, what do YOU think of your singing voice? |

I like my singing voice.
I took lessons for years and did musicals in college. Tried out for a part at the Williamstown Festival one year and didn't get it (I did get to be a stagehand in '99, though! ), but the casting director gave me some very nice compliments and I still appreciate having heard them. That's my true passion, though, performing. But I knew I could never succeed so I never really pursued it much.

I'm a really sucky singer, can't carry a tune at all. That doesn't stop me from doing karaoke after a few beers, though Not that I'm at karaoke very often, but if I am, then Dreams, American Pie and Paradise by the Dashboard Light are my usuals.

Nasally.
I have a deep speaking voice, but when I sing it's a high-pitch. |

My voice sounds like I have snot in my throat. It sounds decent, though. lol
I did participate in choir in high school and was chosen for All-State. I was a bass/tenor. I haven't sang "professionally" in years. I just tend to belt it out in the shower and the car.....oh, and at concerts.

I suppose that someday, that day when I have the time to take up the piano or the guitar, I will get to know my voice. Now, there was an African American gentleman seated behind me in San Jose...He could really sing! He seemed to be the only other person there who knew the lyrics to every single song, besides me. This guy was so in love with Stevie, too...Kept talking about how beautiful and classy she was. It really was pretty funny...Stevie's family, seated in front of us, kept looking back at him and laughing. Her brother (Chris?) looked like he was rather bored by the entire thing, though. One of her relatives, looked almost like Lori Nicks to me, looked back at me sympathetically when I cried during "Sara"...And, I know these people were of the Nicks family because the teenage girl in front of us proudly told us so and was calling out "Steeeevieeeeee" constantly. Best of all: Miss Nicks knew where her family was seated, so several times she shook her tambourine at them and smiled very very warmly. I swear, it looked as if she was looking straight at me, but I know that she was smiling at her family... My, this turned into rambling fairly quickly. Good times... -Justin

Oy. It's late and I'm emotionally drained....pardon my bad humor. ---------- Anyway I LOVE to sing - and used to do it quite regularly in high school - like in the halls and on band trips (I must have been SO obnoxious and I'm pretty sure if I were to run into high school me now - I'd hate me) Anyway - once in a speech class I for some reason started singing Spoon Full of Sugar and other various songs from Mary Poppins and Sound of Music - and the class actually started making requests...lol - they said I sounded SO good - that was my shining moment... Now I don't know what happened after that - but I"ve been unable to sing in public ever since. I completely freeze. I mean I freeze...nothing comes out of my mouth... When I was in a band we did few covers but I convinced the guitarist to try out the Apartment Song - so he agreed as long as I'd sing with him - I agreed - then at the performance I turned my mic off ---I just couldn't do it in front of people... SO anyway - if I try really hard my singing voice is alright - but I do have to try very hard to stay on key and such....mostly I just sing loudly and badly to the radio |

I think I sound reedy, and nasally. I greatly dislike my singing voice. Despite the fact that I used to sing in the school choir, and have gotten some compliments on my singing from various people... but I tend to think people are just being nice.
Mind you, that doesn't stop me one bit, because I LOVE to sing and would rather sing and sound terrible than not sing at all.

Sadly for me (and those who have to endure my "singing"), by the time the option of going to karaoke rears its frightening head, it's late in the night and my voice is already half-gone from trying to talk over loud music.
