Alright. With practice I can sound like Roy Orbison and Chris Isaak...
Or I can just do what the new pop singers use. Autotune.
Or not.
“Can’t Sing? Do It More Often”
In private, I hope.
I been singing all my life. I still sound like the illegitimate love child of Bullwinkle and Underdog.
“People need a place to sing and have fun without worrying about how good they are”
I need to start singing along with music in the car again. Too much talk radio and too many audio books. When I sang in a choir, that was where I did most of my practicing.
My singing improved when I had a lung removed due to cancer. I can’t sing as loud, and that’s a definite improvement.
Sometimes it takes being able to hear yourself better. You might have vocal mannerisms that need polishing but you will not know how to do it until you practice in real time.
I don’t know, man. I sang with a band for several years and was a bad when I stopped as when I started.
Wear headphones or cover your ears, so you can hear yourself ‘sing.’
I promise, it will dramatically improve your singing voice, once you can “hear” yourself.
Congenital defect.
I happen to sing like a bird. Some folks say a crow and others say a chicken.
Eeeee...when I was still working, especially into overtime hours, I used to love to sing along with my cassettes and CDs (I had my headphones on). Unbeknownst to me, my singing voice was apparently being compared to the scratching of fingernails down a chalkboard, hounds howling, a cat’s tail being caught in a blender...by this one guy whose passion was to listen to audiobooks. And another guy who I think told me about the “cat and blender” scenario (which I thought was hilarious). The audiobook dude said he would pay $5 to shut me up—he said this out loud—and everyone in the section just cracked up.
Hey, I was just trying to help everybody stay awake on those long, drawn-out overtime nights that turned into day.
That’s the thanks I get for...
yeah, I know—shut UP!
:-P
Apparently, according to my co-workers, that did not work for me; they were still ready to staple a $5 bill across my mouth to stop the horror.
In retrospect, I thought I sounded rather wonderful while wearing headphones.
Not.
Yeah, throw some Tarn-X on those pipes!
:-|)
FReep ‘em! LOL.
I’ll wager you can sing!
When I sing at street corners, people put money in the basket for me to stop singing. ;)
Oh my, there isn’t a supercomputer in the world powerful enough to autotune that.
