Were you blessed with a good singing voice?

[bobcat]

I have found that there are many people who really have a great voice, but they never really capitalized on it.
Maybe they sang a little karaoke here and there, or just did some sing along at home, and that was all they never wanted to do.
Some actually sang in a group, or in plays, and had some fun with it.
All humbleness aside, how are your pipes when it comes to music?

 

[Flarbalard]

No. It has been said my voice would best be used in extracting confessions from prisoners.

 

[CallMeKate]

Speaking of bobcats, you ever hear one scream? Yeah... well, when it comes to singing voice, probably somewhere between "voice of an angel" and "scream of a bobcat" depending on who's answering the question.

I have had formal ear training (which means, in part, to sing), but I can't stand the wretchedness of my voice. Fingernails-on-the-blackboard awful, even in the shower.

I think Jimmy Stewart once said that his voice was so bad in the shower that the soap gets up and walks away. That's the level I'm at.

But, I'm an instrumentalist and I apply singing skills to my playing, using dynamics and vibrato, when appropriate.

[Pepper]

As a child, I had a beautiful soprano singing voice. In 6th grade, or 5th, getting confused about my childhood, I had my tonsils out. Most kids had theirs out younger. After the tonsil removal, my voice dropped to alto, but never had that lovely voice that adults went crazy over, anymore.

Remember being on LIRR, Long Island Railroad, coming home from relatives on Christmas Eve. Broke into "Silent Night." My voice so clear adults on train literally in tears of joy at my impromptu performance. Got so much praise for my singing.

Never the same after the tonsils surgery. Lost my pitch, my tune carrying, everything. People have asked me to stop singing, including my grandson! Feel bad about that.

 

[Lewkat]

No.

It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.

 

[MaddHollander]

No, but in the mid ‘60s three friends and I formed a teen garage band and called ourselves the ‘Hip-Notics.’ I played drums and became the lead singer because no one else could remember any lyrics. Tommy played a great tambourine. Not really, but his dad had an empty garage.

I recently gave my drum set to my 5 year old great-granddaughter and her dad hasn’t spoken to me since.

 

[Pappy]

I use to have a fairly good voice. I would sing for our family reunions and grandma played the piano. Then the COPD and years of using inhalers have done the job on my voice. I hum along when I play my ukulele now.

 

[Michael Z]

No, not a natural, but maybe if I worked on it. Been thinking on working to sing better.

 

[jujube]

I sang in the church choir all through my teens but wasn't all that good, just good enough.

As an adult, I've seemed to have lost whatever little bit of singing voice I had.

I am a fantastic whistler, though.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I can get by in a group but the only thing anyone ever asked me to sing on my own was Far Far Away!

 

[CinnamonSugar]

I can carry a tune if the bucket has a lid

 

[stretch5881]

In my head, I sound like a song bird. What comes out my mouth is pure raven.

 

[hearlady]

.......ah..........no.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

No singing over here! I express my music by playing piano.

 

[Rossana]

No, but that does not stop me from singing. (Without an audience!)

 

[That Lady in PA]

Nope, not unless you consider singing in the key of me a good singing voice.

Our kids are wonderful singers though!

 

[Oldeagle66]

Not at all. Dogs cover their ears and birds fly away when I start singing.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

Nope. I don't have a good singing voice. When I was 8, I was being prepared my First Communion, by the nuns. We were supposed to sing a hymn. The priest happened to come by, and we had to sing it for him. I belted out the hymn. The priest told me to "just pray".

 

[hollydolly]

I say No.... but it reminds me of a work colleague who had it in her mind that I could do everything well, and better than her ....so one day we were working together with a few other people and people were singing.. I usually never sing in public but that day.. I sang a few lines of ''He ain't heavy he's my brother''... and she slammed her work down.. and said loudly I KNEW IT..I just KNEW she'd be able to sing..

 

[Lavinia]

I was actually in the school choir, but they must have been desperate because I can't sing a note. We sang The Messiah in Coventry cathedral.

 

[911]

Fair

 

[gilead]

Not at all, in fact my 9th grade chorus teacher begged me not to sign up for 10th grade chorus. He was a real a..hole. His words, 'Do us both a favor'.
