Singing

[Mixolydian]

Is it odd that I'm able to sing quite well (in-tune, on-key) but my voice itself sucks?

:hmm:

 

[Ns1]

not really, shows like AGT and AI tell us that you're not a special snowflake.

 

[Markbnj]

No, that is not odd. There are far more people that hear tones well enough to sing in tune than there are people with voices that are actually pleasant to listen to.

What makes for a pleasant singing voice?

Not mine. My fam will confirm.

My sis in law has been able to since she was small.

 

[Mixolydian]

Not mine. My fam will confirm.

My family seems to think I have a good singing voice. I personally think it's not good.

What's odd is you touch yourself at night. With a metronome.

You have no proof of that.

Record it. I don't sound like myself in my head.

 

[highland145]

You have no proof of that.

So you're not denying?

 

[Mixolydian]

Record it. I don't sound like myself in my head.

Funny you should mention that. I've done it in the past and my voice sounds completely different played back than how I hear it as I'm speaking. How the fuck does that work?

Google it. Some deal with how your inner ear hears it. Kind of like when you plug your ears...

sing me a song

Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing,
Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?

The king was in the counting-house, counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlor, eating bread and honey;
The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose.

It's true. I don't know all the reasons for it, but it at least has to do with the way you pick up vibrations internally, through the structure of the skull and inner ear.

We need an official Anandtech glee club.

I find that I can sing really well in the shower, but when I get out I sound like shit.

Reverb can cover up a lot, hence why Karaoke rigs are typically drenched in it.

It's because when you're in the shower, it's an intimate and private moment where you feel clean and safe from the judging eyes and ears of others. Your soul is at ease and you can sing purely and from the heart. When you step out of the shower, self-hatred is the first thing that you sully yourself with and every strong singing voice requires a strong inner voice to stand upon.

It has to sound good. If it isn't pretty, it should be distinctive. Tom Waits and Bob Dylan fail on just about every measure of vocal quality, but they're still good singers.

 

[BUTCH1]
