How often do you sing? Where do you do it? Whose songs really get you going? Do you make up your own stuff? Do you take yourself seriously or just do it for fun? Do you get embarrassed if you get caught? Do you have a good voice? Who do you most resemble? Have you done karaoke before? Can you harmonize? Is your voice high or low? Do you have a generous falsetto? This is for everybody. Not just the org musicians. Tell me everything you about your relationship to your own voice.

I think the answer is 64, but I could be wrong cos' I've had a few drinks

Alright, 1 by 1...

How often do you sing?
All the time!

Where do you do it?
At home, at work, wherever.

Whose songs really get you going?
Sinead OConner, the Cure, Patsy Cline

Do you make up your own stuff?
Yup! I'm often caught singing about what I'm doing at work. I'm sure I bother the hell out of my officemates. But whatevs.

Do you take yourself seriously or just do it for fun?
Mostly for fun, but sometimes I'm dead serious.

Do you get embarrassed if you get caught?
I used to manage a movie theater and used to sing alone in the projection room when I was setting up the films for the next show. I was very, very embarrassed one day when I was caught belting out the Cure by myself.

Do you have a good voice?
I can carry a tune, but I'm no Dolly Parton.

Who do you most resemble?
In high school I was told I sound a lot like Gwen Stefani...

Have you done karaoke before?
Yup!

Can you harmonize?
Usually. Some songs are easy, some are more difficult.

Is your voice high or low?
Medium. I don't have a big range, but I love to sing. I'm an alto.

Do you have a generous falsetto?
Not at all!

My favorite singing in public experience happened around 5 years ago. A girlfriend and I were in New York for the first time, we'd had a fabulous night out on the town and, being a little bit drunk, decided it was a good idea to take the subway back to our hotel at 3am. We got down there and discovered we were alone except for the rats. Feeling very jolly, we started singing. We sang Simon and Garfunkel's the Sounds of Silence in (what we thought was) perfect harmony. It was all echo-y and beautiful. After around 20 minutes, we came to our senses and realized an empty New York subway station was no place for 2 sassy young gals at 3am, climbed the stairs out of there and hailed us a cab. ahhh... What a night!

.. ... ..for feelin' so lonely...i'm... ... for feelin' so blue

I have been known to sing and I have been known to tour around the country doing it while simultaneously beating the shit out of a guitar... do I do it well? I cannot say.

IceNine said:

Do you do it much for fun, just going around the house or do you save it mostly for recording and practicing?

TRON said:

Well... I haven't toured in a while, so I only do it at home now. I still write songs, sing and play at home and I am going to have to put another and together soon... I need it.

I sing in the car, with my Prince CDs. and I sing at home sometimes, when I play the piano. but I try not to, because I always sing out of tune. I'm just glad I live alone. less embarrassments.

How often do you sing?
A lot of the time, but it's very fragmented - I will sing bits and pieces over and over, put together pieces from different songs - and quiet. Under my breath, so nobody can really hear.

Where do you do it?
When I'm puttering around doing nothing. Showering, cooking, cleaning.

Whose songs really get you going?
Prince, and just random songs by random artists.

Do you make up your own stuff?
No... I'm really not that creative.

Do you take yourself seriously or just do it for fun?
For fun, I doubt I'd ever do it seriously, considering my voice.

Do you get embarrassed if you get caught?
No, because I never sing loudly enough to get caught.

Do you have a good voice?
I can sing on key but it's not anything spectacular. Plus I don't have enough confidence.

Who do you most resemble?
Liz Phair? The girl from Sonic Youth? I dunno. lol

Have you done karaoke before?
Yes, Korean karaoke.

Can you harmonize?
I dunno?

Is your voice high or low?
Low. My regular speaking voice is low, too.

Do you have a generous falsetto?
No? lol.

IceNine said:

I still want to hear some of your recordings sometime. Maybe when we make that trade.

Natsume said:

Sexy.

How often do you sing?
Daily!
Where do you do it?
In the living room...
Whose songs really get you going?
Songs from Hawaii...groups like Kalapana, Cecilio & Kapono, and Olomana...to tame just a few...oh, and Prince songs like Loose!, Pheromone, Shockadelica, Scandalous, LoveSexy...etc.
Do you make up your own stuff?
Never...
Do you take yourself seriously or just do it for fun?
It feeds my soul, and I have lots of fun.
Do you get embarrassed if you get caught?
After I get into it, I don't really care.
Do you have a good voice?
Oh, heavens no!
Who do you most resemble?
EEK! Nobody...lucky you.
Have you done karaoke before?
Never.
Can you harmonize?
Probably not.
Is your voice high or low?
low
Do you have a generous falsetto?

LaVisHh said:

LMAO!!!

You've got a sexy voice LaV, don't be ashamed of it.

Heavenly said:

Someone once told me I sounded like his grandmother.

LaVisHh said:

That person was probably deaf.

I enjoy your voice very much.

PS - and I still have it recorded

Hey, that's copyrighted.

LaVisHh said:

lol, but you sent it to me, so it's legal

TRON said:

That's cool... I have a lot of stuff.

The only thing that is readily available to download right now is my cover of "Hybrid Moments."

I will send you some other actual original stuff so that you can see what I do on my own... it is kinda like a cross between The Pixies, The Replacements, Weezer and the Ramones.

How often do you sing? everyday

Where do you do it? everywhere... in the shower, at work, in my car, around the house...

Whose songs really get you going? prince, the rolling stones, steve earle, james brown, social distortion, jimmy buffett and a ton of others really... the blues: it doesn't matter who...

Do you make up your own stuff? been writing songs for a long time... i don't know how many i've written off-hand...

Do you take yourself seriously or just do it for fun? both...

Do you get embarrassed if you get caught? nah...

Do you have a good voice? i get by, i suppose...

Who do you most resemble?

Have you done karaoke before? no...

Can you harmonize? i suppose...

Is your voice high or low? can do both... depends on the type of song and the mood i'm trying to convey...

Do you have a generous falsetto? :LOL: i can at time... but i'm no smokey robinson... i can almost hold my own on "cruisin'" though... but you can forget about the rest of them... smokey kills that falsetto...

TRON said:

You're welcome!

IceNine said:

I'm sure I'll like it then. The Pixies, Ramones and Weezer are 3 of my favorite bands.

In the car. I roll the windows up and sing full blast. Gives me a rush in the morning and before i go to the gym.

I sing as often as I can- in the car, doing karaoke, or just randomly! It is a wonderful form of expression. Too bad I can't sing very well. I can hit the high notes, but I usually break them in the process! I don't take it very seriously though, so it's all in fun.

i can't carry a tune in a bucket...but that doesn't stop me from gettin' drunk and singing karaoke on occasion...sorry to anyone/everyone who has heard me...

i can tell u though...i sing all the time in my car and i am da 'ish!!! i am a natural diva!!!

i love singing. when i am by myself, i sing all the time. when there are people around though... i get SUPER nervous. Just ask anyone who knows me irl. i wish i could sing without getting nervous. i think i have a good voice...not american idol material or anything... but sometimes i hear myself... and i go DAMN... but then... when it comes to singing like that in front of people... cant do it. not really sure what that all means...but bottom line is... i love to sing. i love listening to people sing... hearing someones voice and how they use it..tells soo much about who they are...and where they came from.

I would LOVE to hear you sing. I bet you sound great when your voice gets all husky and raspy. I'm bringing my cloud guitar next year and you and Rio can sing along.

I really dont sing, but I can hit a few high notes.
