Are You A Good Singer?

Anonymous032819 — Wed, 15 Jul 2020 02:05:37 GMT

I'm not.

I wish that I was at least half-way decent.

Don't get me wrong, I love to do karaoke, but I have no false illusions of winning the next Grammy for "Hot New Artist".

So, can you carry a tune?

No, I like singing but I keep it private!

I love singing! My mother was the organist and choir director of the church I grew up in. I was in the junior choir as soon as I could read (words). Then I took piano lessons for a few years and learned to read music. I was in the adult choir at my current church for several years. I'm 71 now and I don't like the way my voice sounds... it's different from what it used to be. But I still enjoy singing in church.

I love listening to music and I do sing along with songs I love, it is done in private though because I am only not a good singer but I would say I can't hold a tune!!!!

No, very bad alto.

But I love to sing - kareoke I will render ‘Blueberry Hill’ or ‘Friends in Low Places’. Not a pleasure to hear but I love it!

My younger days in U.K. At our local pub we all had ‘our song’ mine ‘Bye Bye Blackbird’. DH used to cringe when we walked in as your song would start up and you had to sing your way in! Loved it! Oh and I love singing hymns.

I sound fairly good as long as I stay in my range! Alto Annie.

I can carry a tune but nothing solo worthy. My toddler grandson loves to sing with me. Trained on two instruments, but would trade both for knowing how to play guitar.

Me too! Mom was trained in Grand Opera and there was always singing in our house. I started taking piano lessons at 8yo. and started singing Grand Opera when I was 10. Sang in every chorus through my school years, and later sang in the choir in our church. Before the virus hit, also sang in the Master Chorus where I live. Sad to say the Master Chorus broke up and I don't see it coming back anytime soon. Something I learned in my early years that have given me great joy my whole life.

I'll have to ask the people that were rushed to the ER in agony after hearing me belt out a tune!😁 Actually, I consider myself to be a pretty good singer.😊

~~All we need is LOVE💖

When my father used to hear me singing he would ask

"Do you know Far Away?" 😆 So my answer is NO! But I do anyway.

No, and I never could sing. I have a hearing challenge caused by a childhood illness.

I am a fairly good singer. Not fantastic, but pretty good. I was in the choir at the Catholic school I attended in elementary school. I sang a solo at Midnight Mass when I was in eighth grade. My voice has gotten deeper as I've gotten older. I can sing alto and soprano, just not in as high of a range as I could when I was younger. I love to sing! My mom had a beautiful voice.

I'm not very good, but I love to sing in the shower. 😀

Not even at all. I can dance but not sing.

The more I concentrate on pitch, the worse I sound. However there have been a few times when I've sung something without thinking about it first, and got compliments on it. So I think it's more a psychological block and excessive self consciousness than an actual lack of ability.

NO! But that doesn't stop me!

My sister and I used to have the family in hysterics with our "duets." I'm laughing just sittng here thinking about it. Kingston Trio songs were our favorite. You should have heard our rendition of "Tattooed Lady."

The last time we "performed" was at her daughter's house when all my nieces and nephews and their spouses were there - after Christmas dinner a few years ago.

Senior year in high school music class. Music teacher went around the room and had each of us sing a couple of lines of a song - as an audition for our senior play (that year was Call Me Madam).

She got to me - I sang about half a line when she motioned me to sit down!

I can carry a tune but I always manage to drop it!

I'm a better singer than dancer.

.....which isn't saying much......

I love to sing and I’m afraid it will be a very long time before I sing with my community chorus again 🙁
