Are you a good singer?

Question

So I would say like 4-5 years ago, I couldn’t even sing happy birthday in tune.

However even though I sounded like shit, I loved singing and I would do it anyway.

y’all know Ariana Grande is one of my favorite artists and listening to clips of her is what made me fall in love with singing. And I would sit there and try to repeat her runs and riffs. Again, sounded horrible but I would do it anyway lol

and these years of just pretending to know how to sing, has actually incredibly improved my voice. So now I’m at a point where I get compliments on my singing and I sound somewhat decent.

Still not on the level of Ariana or Beyonce but I think I can now sing better than the average person. my voice seems to improve all the time.

i went to a karaoke bar recently with coworkers and i sang a song and literally everyone loved it. And people were coming up to me after telling me how good I am. I mean not that the expectations at a karaoke bar are set very high but I was still so proud of myself 😭😭

People are always under the impression that you’re either born knowing how to sing or you can’t. But your voice is a muscle and just like any other muscle, you can work it out and improve it.

now I’m thinking of maybe taking singing lessons. For a while I didn’t because I didn’t think I was even good enough for a professional to help me.

Even though I can say that I feel like a pretty good singer now, I can also say that comparison is the thief of joy lol. My entire friend group all went to a performing arts school so they are all singers and they all can sing much better than I can.
So sometimes they be singing and sounding amazing and I get insecure again

Depends on who you ask. Got one coworker who says I suck. Another 3 that can tell I was choir kid and say i sound good. I just started dating a musician so I suppose I'll let him be the judge?

There are some songs that bring greatness out of me. At least I think so anyway.

Yes, but I do not possess that certain "uniqueness" to sing interesting lead consistently. My voice is better suited for harmony vocals.

There are worse singers (I guess;some are even famous), but no.

I can carry a tune. I’m karaoke-good. My voice is kind of on the deep side, and it’s flat, not sing-songy, so I have a range that doesn’t always do me favors. I can hit low stuff well. Like Elvis’ “Can’t Help Falling In Love” is easy for me, I can do the crooner thing.

But my tenor range is spotty as hell. Like I wish I could do “My Own Worst Enemy” by Lit, that’s an all-time banger that has good energy for karaoke. (Hope I’m not losing you with songs that are older than you are, but probably😂) But where I lose it is at the highest notes in the hook. 🎶The car is in the front yaaaaarrrrrrdddddd, and I’mmmmm/Sleepin’ with my clothes onnnnnnn/Came in through the windoooowwwww, last niiiiiiight🎶, those bars, especially the last words in each (yard, on, window)…. my voice will performance-killingly crack😝

Lower baritone singers are my bread and butter: Darius Rucker, Eddie Vedder, etc. But then for some reason I can do a pretty good rendition of a few Usher songs and avoid crack-range, so I don’t know.

My secret weapon is falsetto, which I’m fearing is weakening with age, but if want to hear some old Eddie Holman “Hey There, Lonely Girl” or “Reasons” by Earth, Wind, & Fire, I GOT THAT. If the moon is right, I can pull off “Take On Me” by A-Ha, minus one of his highest high notes that’s nearing whistle pitch.

That’s bad ass that you can sing Ariana. I could never cover almost any female singer…. although I do have a “Pretty BOY Rock” Keri Hilson parody I have in the chamber. Have yet to unleash it, but I think I could do it. I’m goofy as hell, so I’d love to sing female songs just because it’s kind of funny seeing a big dude singing female songs😝

But yeah definitely a better singer than I thought I was. Drove a million and one miles a year in my last job so there’s been many-a practice session in the car, haha. The big game-changer to me was singing on full lungs. The reason I think I wasn’t tapping my potential back in the day was singing with empty lungs, plus being shy to really let myself rip. Before, I’d just kind of sing-talk.

But I’m a ham and a half, so karaoke is right up my alley, once I got over the inferiority-shyness. It only takes a few songs at any karaoke night before you realize you wouldn’t be the worst person up there, and after my second or third time, I was getting the same love, strangers coming up and complimenting the performance, etc. Rock star feels, haha

I sang “Twisted” by Keith Sweat, kind of in the nasally Keith Sweat tone. I had this VERY hood looking dude mean mugging me right up front, I think he even made some kind of snide comment predicting I would suck. I KILLED it, lmao. And when I stepped off stage, he gave me a pound and said “Aight…I ain’t have to boo you.” High praise😂😂😂 But at that point, in front of a tough critic, I knew I had the goods, lmao

I used to be a good singer and always sang in the chorus at school and when I was a teenager and in my early twenties I was in several rock bands as lead singer and guitar player.

I can still carry a tune and probably could still be a decent singer if I worked at it, but I don't.

Singing kind of ran in my mother's family. Her mother used to be a professional singer and entertainer on cruise ships, and my mother sang in community choruses.

But my father couldn't sing a note!

It was fun for me while it lasted but you have to keep it up if you want to keep the skill.
