How well can you sing?

[Miss Chicken]

On a scale of 1 (very badly) to 10 (very good) , how well do you sing?

Myself, I think I would only rate a 2.

 

[Amaris]

I would rate myself anywhere from 8-9. There are better singers, but I am definitely better than average.

 

[scotpens]

I can carry a tune pretty well, and people tell me I sing nicely at social gatherings (which isn't often). So I'd probably grade myself a 6 or 7. Or, at any rate, better than half of today's pop singers unaided by Auto-Tune.

 

[Kestra]

4? I think I'm pretty awful but they let me into choir back in school and I wasn't the worst thing ever. I love singing, even if I'm bad at it.

Sounds like my boss's wife when she sings along with her favorite songs on the radio (see the "Annoying Habits" thread).

If I ever meet you I'll be sure to sing some Lady Gaga at the top of my lungs, just for you.

If I'm doing opera, I'm a 9 or 10, depending on how warmed up I am. Musical theater, I'm a 7. Karaoke, I'm a -3.

To be fair, most people are a -3 with Karaoke. I swear it was designed just to make all of us look like idiots.



(although I can't help myself.)




(about Karaoke, not about being an idiot.)





(that, I can help myself. I just won't.)

3.

Pre-puberty, I used sing so well that I would get solos in choir. Then my voice dropped, and I haven't been able to sing very well ever since. That doesn't stop me from doing it, though.

 

[Neopeius]

At my best, I was probably an 8. I have perfect pitch, and I was a music major singing in a Chamber Singer group. Occasionally, I got solo parts. I have a pleasant-enough low baritone range, but not too much versatility.

These days, I'm a little out of practice so I'd say a 7, but I can harmonize instantly so I'm fairly useful to have around.

And I *love* karaoke...

 

[wellsweb]

I'm also an 8 or 9. I've been around music my whole life. I studied music in college. I'm a professional horn player, too. We just did a pops concert in Chattanooga featuring the music of Queen.

Karaoke is to entertainment as masturbation is to sex. Except that masturbation isn't usually done in front of a group of loud, drunken assholes.

Too bad we don't have castrati anymore.

 

[Jetfire]

When I was in a band...um girls told me I had a sexy voice...but I did more screaming & growling than singing...of course these girls were into death metal.

 

[auntiehill]

I loved being in the chorus when I was a kid...but I was never a very good singer. I'm probably a 4, tops.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I'm pretty much similar in all those categories.

I've never done opera, though, but I have joined the masses in concert performances, choral works, and oratorii.

I tried karaoke once. (OK, twice. ) Never again.

One thing I've never done, however, which I've wanted to do, is football terrace chanting. Sounds like fun.

10. My voice is pure masculinity.

(3).

 

[ITL]

My singing voice is in a lower range than you'd think if you heard me speak, and I don't have much range. As a result, I find it almost impossible to sing along to my favourite songs in the right octave. I'd give me a 4 out of 10.

I'm good at Pub Singing, though - all northerners are born with the ability to slide into a slightly off-key note before marmalizing the tune with overdone vibrato. Incomprehensible lyrics are a cheeky bonus.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Between 2 and 3 I guess, I'm really quite terrible. I'm at least an 8 in volume though which is basically all that counts in the football stadium, which is the only time I ever sing anyway.

I'm bad at listening to music also, maybe that's the reason I can't sing. It's really difficult for me to understand the lyrics of a song for example even when the singer's voice isn't distorted or so.

[ancientone51]

I'd say a 6 these days

Had a good voice as a kid but got shot down by an idiot and was an even bigger idiot to believe him so am badly out of practice.

Did well enough as Aunt March in the school's "Little Women" this past December, and her song is a killer. Could have been better though.
