Can you sing?
Yes, but I've always kind of wavered between a tenor and baritone. Though, I can do a great impression of the Koolaid Man, as well.
I've been singing in bands since I was 16. We did a lot of Misfits covers, both Danzig and Graves,when I was a teen ager. Then through college I was obsessed with Black and Death metal, so I was doing metal vocals for a while. I've since been doing a lot of reggae and ska vocals, actually singing again(compared to death metal vocals, lol) and my voice is somewhere between Bradley Nowell of Sublime, and Kaleo Wassman of Pepper.
I'm a bass, though also capable of baritone when push comes to shove. I've done a not-insignificant amount of musical theater and sung ensemble, duet and solo, but I've never had formal voice training.
Not that good but I do it anyway when I play guitar. usually it's alone so I don't hurt anyone's ears.
I'm a fucking rock star behind the steering wheel monitor.
I was the lead singer of a four-man Rock Band rock band for like, two years, back when those games were hot
and I was fucking awesome
in my own unbiased opinion
No, not really, but that doesn't stop me from trying.
If I am being honest, I am a fair to good baritone when in a group/choir. Never had the guts to try anything solo in public.
Singing is tough stuff. I can't do it well, but that doesn't really matter when you are alone in the car going 50, does it?
I've sung in a few different choirs, jazz and classical. I also do a fair amount of guitar/singing solo stuff, mostly at open mic nights and the occasional small show, usually as filler for someone else. I've got a decent vocal range, pretty strong E2 to G4, maybe higher if I scream or do falsetto or lower if I have a cold.
I sing a lot at my friends when they least expect it and don't want it, and I've been told I have an okay voice. Depending on the song and how high or low pitch is, I sometimes agree with them. I don't know if I'm a good singer necessarily, but I think I'm good at mimicking singing voices.
When I was in a strolling orchestra, I had to serenade strangers at gigs. I was generally one of the better singers in the orchestra, but that isn't really saying much. I can hold a pitch, which is better than a lot of people can say, but I don't have very good enunciation. I look like I would have a high voice, but my vocal range is on the high end of baritone, which means I have to transpose just about anything I try to sing. Most melodies are either slightly too low for my voice or considerably higher than I can sing.
It is my personal policy to never sing when/where anybody else can hear me. So I have no idea if I'm any good but I suspect I'm not.
