A simple question: Can you sing? Do you sing often?

I attempted to sing Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" yesterday evening, but it didn't come out too well. It sounded alright in my head, but once the words left my mouth, the reality that I couldn't sing a lick dawned on me.

How about you?

I sing terribly. And often.

Definitely not! xD

Remember that voice thing you did like four years ago, Raine? =| Where I sent you voice clips and I was some general or something... o_0 *falls over*

Anyway, I can't sing xD Not well, anyway.

I can sing as good as a thousand sharp objects scraping against a chalk board. do i have the ability to sing? yes, can i do it well? i'd let you be the judge, but i'd probably make your ears bleed.

I only sing when I'm alone, and it sounds OK to me.

I'm bad in the shower. I censor the words to describe myself singing outside the shower. :greenie:

I've been told I have a good voice, but you're not about to see me standing in front of Simon Cowell doing a rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. I couldn't do it!!!

I love singing. It's one of my favourite things to do. I think I can sing and people tell me I can.

I love singing. As long as the notes don't get too high, I think I can pull it off pretty well. I have good lungs and sing in key ( so i've been told anyway) but when the notes start getting even remotely high my voice gets shaky.

Only when playing guitar, and then not if I can avoid it.

02-17-2005, 02:02 PM
Uhh...I think not. But I sing all the time anyway, just not in front of people.

But bathrooms have a natural sound system that makes your voice seem better than it is methinks :D (err...is there a scientific explanation of some sort for it? was just wondering)

FallenSilence
02-17-2005, 02:12 PM
Probably just an echo or something like that.

Jojee
02-17-2005, 02:16 PM
Tis' true. You sound better to yourself when you're in the shower cos' of the pipes or something. xD Read it somewhere.

I can't sing, but I try to anyways if I'm with a group of people. Its more fun than singing by yourself anyways.

feels abit weird saying this because alot of ppl seem to have said they cant (very probably not true, stop being so modest!). But yeah I can, I actually wanted to be an opera singer for awhile, but its so competitive I came to uni instead eventually. I sing alot and my friends often ask me too. I'm going to Prague in april with the University's Chamber Choir. :love: me love singing :D

I can sing. I'm better at old songs like "I'm dreaming of a white christmas" and "Edlevice". I'm not very good at pop or rock songs, but that's because i just don't listen to much other than the oldies.

I have a reasonable voice. My range is from mid tenor to mezzo soprano. I used to have a higher voice when I was younger, all the way to treble. I sing only for my own pleasure, and no one else's..and I don't care much if I miss a note or two, though I do notice when I do..I have near perfect pitch...On rare occasions you might hear me on voice chat on Ymess. I tend to whistle a lot more than I sing..I can whistle nearly anything I have heard.

I'm in the choir here, but that's really no accomplishment. I have sung since high school, I don't think I'm that good, but I can blend in with the choir well.

02-17-2005, 03:47 PM
I sing, and I consider myself a pretty good singer. I also write songs and play numerous instruments. In fact, I'd be happy to send some of my songs (mp3) to anyone who wants them. Just contact me on MSN Messenger (flenchenosque@hotmail.com) or on AIM (Feion Caztor), and I'll send you all the mp3s that I have of myself.

Please, I hope some of you will actually ask for these songs. They're pretty good and I'm pretty proud of them.

I can 2. Don't have much time to do it now though, being at uni. Will pick it back up when i finish, unless the student life has ruined my voice!!

I sing well, and quite often. I sing a lot of neo-classical music, broadway, little pop, some spirituals and gospel. Singing is my favorite hobby, next to writing.

I sing occasionaly. My friends have told me I have good voice, but I don't think it's anything special. I'm better at rock songs. I can scream as well, but that's hardly the same thing. :)

I sing all the time, only in my room though, the only people who hear me sing are my sisters and brother and they say I'm a bad singer and I totally agree. I wish I could sing though, it'd be cool.

Void says I sing well too >_> Funnily enough, I always thought I sang like crap.

Now whenever he drives me somewhere and we get stuck in traffic he makes me sing like I'm a readio or something >_>

I can sing decently well, not good enough to solo, but about on tune.

02-25-2005, 02:46 AM
I'm ok at singing, I guess. I sing in a progressive rock band, which is kind of cool, but I share that role generously, because I play drums as well, and singing + drumming = <u>very hard</u>. And there are easier styles of drumming than progressive, too. :p

rubah
02-25-2005, 02:59 AM
Doing anything while drumming is hardX.x; like marching. but marching and trying to play a keyboard, where the stupid thing is MOVING and you're MOVING, and you have to MOVE your hands to get to the MOVING notes.

I've decided I hate marching bells. Give me snare anyday.

Rase
02-25-2005, 03:15 AM
Can I: Yes.
Do I: Occasionally.
Am I good: Depends.

I sound good to myself...but one time I had Goldwave running while I was
playing some music and I hit the record hotkey without realizing it. I
laughed pretty hard when I played it back a few minutes later. Meh, I wish
I could sing too.

It's alright though, my fingers can do the talking for me. I can play a wide
selection of FF songs on my piano. :p

And I've been stretching my hands a lot recently. They're already pretty
big but now I have a 10 key reach (C to F) easily and I can hit 11 keys
but not quickly enough for it to be very useful. ;\

PS, Prog = life. Do you have any recordings on your computer/online?
And are you a fan of Yes? ;] Probably my favorite band at the moment
(got 23 of their albums...heh).

Now excuse me while I perfect Bright Eyes' "Another Travellin' Song".

The REAL question is if you sing good. I don't.

Mordydus
02-25-2005, 04:30 AM
Can I sing? From what I've been told, yes. Unfortunately, I've also been told I sound like a nasally Scott Stapp, which is bad. Screaming's my thing, though. I just have trouble keeping it consistent for longer than 15 minutes (I have delusions of starting a metalcore band, but apparently guitar players no longer exist). For some reason, I just can't seemto scar my vocal cords, no matter how hard I try. Can I sing and then scream and then sing and then scream-sing and keep it all sounding right? ....No.

By the way, introductions and all. I'm Mordydus, because I'm an idiot and spelled Morbydus wrong. I've been lurking in the forums for a year or two and finally decided to make an account. I also tend to be long-winded. As you can tell. Does this make any sense? Probably not. My brain doesn't work.

Jack
02-25-2005, 10:56 AM
I asked several people.

Music Teacher- "Bass Voice... Wanna Join The Choir?"
Ben- "Rock n Roll. You have a dirty voice"
Sister- "You sound like a man having sex with a pig"

Make of that what you will. I do sing quite a lot though.

Well, we have a few recordings, but none are on my computer and/or online. :p I'll try to get a hold of them from the audio engineer for you.....Whenever I get around to that. :p
Also, Yes are great. :]

02-25-2005, 01:56 PM
I think my election submission answers THIS question well enough.

So yes, I can sing. I'm yet to actually get a real recording online of me singing the way I know I can, but it doesn't stop me from singing many many hours a day, no matter where I am.

I used to be able to sing, back in grade 6 or so. I really lack vocal talent, though.

I have my own personal karaoke system... but... and I do one hell of a "New York, New York".

I also do justice to the songs: I Wanna Know What Love Is, Woman in Love, Memory, Alexander's Ragtime Band, Take My Breath Away, The Way We Were, My Way & Save the Best for Last.

yeah you'll have see from a very nearby source I'm a singer lol! I've been singing practically all my life in shows mainly but recently I've done competitions which I loved. I also sing rock/pop stuff for fun.The only thing I have at the moment of me singing is my tiny 6 second file but I've posted that already.
