Thread: Singing

  1. #1

    Singing

    Do you like to sing? Do you like it but can't sing? Do you hate singing?

    I personally enjoy singing a lot, but I don't have the voice to do it professionally. I find it to be soothing and fun, but I know that I don't have any kind of impressive vocal range, nor do I consider myself a good singer. XD I did take singing lessons for two years, which was great, and I only stopped because my singing school went out of business. If I had the natural-born talent, I'd definitely pursue singing, though singing in front of people is always scary.

    Mostly, I just sing in my car. xD

    Haha I sing in my car too. But that is all. I hate singing anywhere where people could possibly hear me. I feel like being caught singing would be the most embarrassing thing ever. I'm pretty sure I can't sing very well also. xD

    That's cool that you did singing lessons! I thought singing wasn't really something you can learn, but maybe there's like a basic level that anyone can get to even if they don't have any talent? I dunno! xD

    I enjoy singing when I'm working or driving. I don't have a great voice though. I'd like to get better but I'm stuck in the cycle of 'I will only get better by doing it' snd 'I won't do it because I'm not good at it.'

    I don't mind though. I'm content with guitar, piano, banjo, percussion and bass.

    Singing in the car is the best. xD I just got a new car, and yesterday my brother helped me install two of the four new speakers I got and it sounds sooo much better now. It really upgrades the 'singing in the car' experience! xD

    Yeah! I think that's very true--you can't learn how to have the talent, but you can learn how to hone the talent. Basically there are many techniques that you need to perfect in order to sing well (and not damage your vocal chords, for example) but yes, if you're not born with a great voice, then you're sort of doomed. XD


    Yeah @Wisteria you can play instruments which is just as cool. xD

    Congrats on the new car! :D I have a soft-top car so I'm afraid everyone can hear me singing xD Luckily my car is super loud :P

    Everyone was forced to be my school's production for the school's 100th anniversary when I was in year 7. The year 7s had to sing and I kept losing my breath and feeling faint even when I was only miming. xD I guess breathing is something important to learn haha!

    I sing every chance i get, and i have been told i have a greay voice. Music is my passion, there is not a day that goes by that I don't have my earbuds/headphones on. I have been trying to teach myself how to play instruments but it is a lot harder than singing.

    Same! I love to sing in the car when I'm driving alone. Some of my favorite songs to sing along to are:

    Anna Sun - by Walk the Moon
    Pompeii - by Bastille
    Mr Brightside - by The Killers
    When You Were Young - by The Killers

    I haven't ever taken singing classes, so I don't even know if I have the voice for this kind of thing or if I'm doing things right. I honestly don't even care all that much, as it's not like I plan on going on anything like American Idol or whatever.

    It might be fun to have a PXR karaoke, regardless of how bad we do. XD

    I'm tone deaf hehe :) I don't bother even trying unless I'm sad and need a cathartic Adele session

    I DO NOT have an adequate voice but I do enjoy singing when alone or at a local Karaoke place my friends like to go to.

    I love singing. People say that I have a good voice sometimes but I don't really agree. I mean, I don't think my singing voice is terrible, but it isn't very good, especially considering my painfully average vocal range.
