Title: Do you like to sing?
Post by: lightningclix on April 03, 2019, 11:25:37 am
I am NOT good at singing at all, but I sing and dance almost every day.  As I walk through the house,
I'll grab one of my kids to do a twirl as they pass me.  Some laugh, others shrug, roll their eyes  ::) or yell "MOM!"
But I know deep down inside they love it... I try to make each day as fun for them and for me that I can.   :in-love:

I like to sing but just songs that I enjoy listening to. My kids grew up listening to my music and they knew more words than me in most songs. Now they have their own taste of music

Very much so.We have a trio that does timeless songs from 50s 60s & 70s.

We work on getting the vocal harmony and making sure music,rhythm and tempo are correct.

    I love Music. It has been with me since I was a child.
    It is my preferred and favorite therapy.
    It makes me feel young again.

I do like to sing.  I sing in my church choir and sometimes I have to sing solos, which no matter how many times I do this it still makes me nervous.

I am not a great singer, but I do like to sing about little things that happen in the day. I only do it around my kids. No one else knows this about me beside them.

I like to sing. I was in the church choir for many years.  Sang solos with my guitar.  And still sing along with the radio.

I am sure your kids really do love it when you twirl them and include them in your love of fun.  Keep it up!
They will reminisce about your antics when they grow older.

I love singing.  I am not a fantastic singer by any means, but I do sing in our church choir.  I sing soprano.

I sing along with the radio and quite often a melody will just bubble up out of me at all times of the day.

I love to sing but unfortunately have a very flat voice with no vibrato to it at all. I like singing with other people the best and rarely sing when I am alone, even in the shower.

I've been singing and harmonizing since I was a very little girl. I still love it.

And I was in Sweet Adelines for a while when they were nearby. That's a ladies' barbershop quartet group for those who aren't aware of it.

I was a professional musician for a number of years.  Not only did I play instruments but sang as well.  Music is still, and always will be, a big part of my life. 

Yes, I love to sing.  Part of our worship to our Grand God Jehovah is singing.  Every week the congregation sings Kingdom Melodies.  I love that too.

I am glad I actually stumbled across this particular thread. Yes, I do like to sing. For whatever reason, Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" entered my head, and I started belting out the lyrics in the shower. That led to me playing the entire CD (yes, I am showing my age, LOL) and singing practically every song.

They're probably thinking "mom is so corny" lol but these are the moments they will cherish when they get older.  I imagine they will envision you with an angelic light behind you.

Yes and I have been told I am good at it. I sang in a Barbershop Quartet for over 15 years and do solos in church every few months. I will be doing one this Easter in a special pogram. My biggest singing thrill was to sing the National Anthem for 10,000 people in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

I like to sing too.  I'm awful at it though.  So the best time to sing for me is at a concert when the music is really loud....I can belt it out and nobody hears me.  Not even the people around me.  I'm a little self Conscious of just how bad I am so when I sing I prefer to be alone most of the time.

I wanted too be a singer song writer but too make along story short, I never got my chance.  I do sing some of the songs I wrote mostly everyday though and I still try too figure out better arrangements each and everyday. Maybe one day they will see the light of day. ???

The  funny thin is I can't sing worth a  darn, but can dance to anything and am darn good at it. Just  no voice.  But I love music and love  moving to it. I do sing a little in the car when by myself. But just to  keep myself awake if  traveling at night which I seldom do any more.

I guess it depends on what level you might be referring to.I am a musician.I have an excellent ear and can arrange.I have sung with other musicians and have seen they struggle sometimes to stay on key.

Then you have people like John Philips <Mamas & Papas> and Brian Wilson who were considered geniuses with no training.

Its like some have a way with cars or sports.They have the God given talent and maybe refine it more or take more instruction to be better.

The fact is there are certain mechanical details that need to be mastered (either naturally or with training) that determine if you can hold pitch or not. I know that once I learned to control the diaphragm for support, it opened a whole new level for me. Without some kind of support, there is no way to stay on pitch.

Yes, I love to sing and have sung in numerous choirs, but I don't have the voice that I wish I had.  My daughter makes her living as a singer.  Oldbuddy, I surely wish you would post a video somewhere of your Easter solo.  Also, I love Barbershop Quartets.  There's just nothing like good harmony!

You like good harmony?The King Singers will blow you away how magical their vocal arrangements are.Ck em out via YouTube.

The Association from the 60s were also very underrated how complex their vocal arrangments were.

I am not a good singer, but I do enjoy singing from time to time. The first time I really sang was when I joined the youth choir at my church as a child. I love listening to R&B music with Toni Braxton and Whitney Houston and Anita Baker and others and wish I could sing like them. Like a lot of people I imagined myself getting famous and dazzling others with a voice I wish I had. I now just sing along to my songs on my walkman or sing to myself around the house.

You may doubt what I say, but with professional training almost anyone can learn to sing.

If someone has a bad "ear," it is almost impossible for them to sing well enough anyone would want to listen.  I am bad!  Believe me when I say that!  No ear!!  That is why I sing whenever I am alone if I want.  Something about the ole car and shower makes it sound better.  Maybe something to do with acoustics in small places?  Or maybe my lack of an ear in ANY environment?
