    Default Do re mi~

    So, do you like to sing? Have you ever been in a choir of some sort before? What's your voice type?

    I love to sing, even just to myself (and my cats, although I don't think they appreciate it!). I'm in my school's chorale (next year I'll be in concert choir and we get to travel to other countries occasionally, heck yeah) and I'm a soprano 1. The highest note I can hit is maybe a high C or D (2 octaves above middle C). The lowest note I can hit...well, I have no idea. I have trouble even singing middle C, haha.

    Even if you don't like to sing, well...you have to admit, it's fun to belt out your favorite song on the radio, no?

    I love singing. I sing to myself all the time, I hide it though.

    My voice is pretty low, but I can hit.. some high notes, just not very long or my nuts hurt.

    I'm an alright singer, I guess. Certainly nothing to write home about, and I'll not be heading to the charts any time soon. I usually sing to myself when cooking or something.

    My whistling, however, is the best in the entire world ever. I'm very proud.

    I'm a bad singer.
    When I used to perform on stage, I never took a singing part. I do like to sing along with songs when I know them though, just because I like to when I know the lyrics.

    I sing all the time. I have a low tenor (I can get to a G, but can't sustain it).

    I can sing pretty good if I make an effort, but otherwise, I don't really care. I just love singing.

    I can't stop humming "Part of Your World" from the Little Mermaid. Disturbing, I know, but for some reason unknown, I can pass quite adequately for a girl when I sing. My voice is really, really lightweight.

    I was going to go to university to sing opera and become a music teacher, but I hated the actual not-singing part of it. It just wasn't for me. I couldn't read music, I disliked the music program and I absolutely hated the teachers and fellow students. Music students are almost all diva assholes. I miss singing opera a bit once and a while, but being an English and education double major is better for me. I never had stage fright, but my body would make itself sick just trying to hard to really practice and improve before a performance that I just wasn't happy with it anymore.

    I still sing to myself. I get compliments on my voice, but it's not nearly as good as it was back when I was still training and that makes me a little sad. I used to be a coloratura soprano, which basically means the highest singing role of a soprano. I hit those high notes like it was nothing. I miss it. It makes me a little teary to think of my performance. The one good thing about not training anymore is that I've gotten better at singing and making harmonies to songs; I've been de-sopranoized so I can hear the harmonies better than ever.

    We're kind of alike then, RE! Keep working on those range exercises and you'll get over that high C easily as you get older. I forget the highest note I've sang in performance, but I think it was in this song (that or Black Swan) which is coincidentally the last song I've ever performed.

    YouTube - Dorothea Röschmann - Ach ich fühl's

    Check out other songs from this opera, btw. The Magic Flute has some of the most amazing songs; I really want to see it this summer, but those tickets are like, insanely expensive and really complicated to order because the Metropolitan Opera House in Manhattan is all fancy. The Magic Flute also has really good arias for sopranos.

    YouTube - Magic Flute (Queen of Night Aria)
    (This was the song I was next planning on learning if I had kept with music school. I was going to learn it privately. I wasn't expecting to ever perform a song of this level while being an undergrad in university, but the school wanted my first performance to be a song of a middle school level - I did literally perform it in middle school for NYSSMA. I was extremely insulted; my performance instructor was the one given to the most advanced opera singers coming into the music school, but when they found out about my level of music reading, they forgot about the fact that I actually got selected for him for a reason (ie; I had a fantastic ear and was a great learner despite being a poor music reader), and thought it'd be cute if I sang The Water is Wide instead of an aria.)

    I am an atrociously bad singer. I am the absolute apex of bad singing - there is not one metric of singing quality where I even approach tolerable.

    Your singing is cute, you just don't sing in tune sometimes. XD You sing in beat though, which is good. My Mom sings everything off beat and it makes my skin crawl because I really notice those things. It turns me into a sperglord.

    Ahahaha tune is for posers imho. My mom's singing is... it's not good, it causes me pain. xD But she has fun so what do I care?

    PS: I must be tripping or something because I just saw you're a CK and it freaked me out because I forgot.

    You need to be eating more brains, son.

    And just in case anyone was curious, which I'm sure they weren't, I think this is the best piece of opera singing OF ALL TIME!!!

    YouTube - Mirella Freni as Manon Lescaut "Sola, perduta, abbandonata"

    Does not fail to make me cry.

    I can't sing for the life of me, though I still sing to myself from time to time!

    I have no idea what my voice type is. :x
