    I've been singing Stray Cat Strut all day.

    My voice is horrible though.

    Oh, I didn't answer the other question. I do not sing in a choir because I wouldn't be able to stand being told what to sing. I sing in a band.

    I have a decent singing voice. When I was younger, I had a beautiful voice. I was in choir for years.

    Basically does anyone remember that scene in Simpsons where Homer was a young boy singing in the church choir and Grandpa was going to make it rich with his beautiful voice and then midway through the song, Homer's voice changed to what we all know and love? Yeah... that pretty much happened with me.

    I still have a decent singing voice but I've noticed I can't sing around other people that are singing cause I always try to synchronize with their voices and they shoot me into octave ranges I just can't do.

    I'm a Baritone probably low end towards bass. I like to joke that I have the same vocal range as Cher cause I do a mean rendition of "Believe". I can also use my falsetto pretty decently which allows me to do some Radiohead tracks that most people can't do. If my former boss was a truly evil man, it would be possibly to find all those Karaoke songs I did in my old job. Luckily he's not so cruel to the world.

    I'm the lead singer for this band. We're pretty famous you might have heard of them the All-American Rejects?

    No but seriously, I have a horrible voice. Sometimes my singing hits its peak and it doesn't make you want to stab yourself and me in the face. But I keep singing in the hope that one day I'll have a shred of talent.

    Oh in like 6th grade the Australian Youth Choir rep forced us all to do this mini audition and I was invited to come learn how to sing but back then I was cool and singing was for wimps. No I just didn't want to get picked on even more xD

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    Let me put it this way. My own mother has never complimented my singing voice. If there was even a shred of talent there she would have pointed it out endlessly.

    I consider myself an OK singer. Whereas everyone else around says I have an incredible voice. I wouldn't believe that, though.

    I've been singing since primary school. As a kid, I always sung in the highest voice in the choir. Now I am a tenor, singing in a smaller choir. I moved to a much bigger city, so I'm shocked that such renouned people wanted me in their band... Then again, they had no other tenors Anyhoo, when I sing with the rest of the choir and the orchestra, I can easily reach G, and when we sing real loud, I can reach A without falsetto. And here's the next issue - I have a very strong falsetto and can go a lot higher than that. And that is why the head of the band wants to make a contratenor out of me and make someone from the Warsaw Opera (biggest in Poland) to notice me. The problem is, I don't really like the idea of being a contratenor. I want to sing in a manly voice! Second of all, I really don't get what the big deal is. I don't sing that great, and yet the lady that manages our band seems to enter a trance every time I sing my solo...

    Damn, that post made me sound like a dick. I'm not trying to brag, guys, really. I'm not as good a singer as they think...

    I was in chorus from the time I was 4 until I was 8 or 9, when I started playing violin. I don't sing unless I'm alone now, and if I do, it's obnoxious fake singing, haha.

    Thank you! Unfortunately, I've lost all of my recordings and videos when my old laptop died. I never packed them up. Woops. XD

    I went to see you with blink-182 and you cancelled.

    I sing that type of music mostly, the poppy punk rock or whatever. I have zero vocal education but I consider my singing to be good enough for the purpose.

    Which A? The one above middle C or high A? I've heard tenors hit high B and it just blows my mind.
    Also, Rye, it's a shame you lost your recordings! I really wanted to hear you sing, too. x3
