Posted: 12/4/05 at 12:12amI'm pretty happy with my singing voice - my speaking voice could use some work though.

Posted: 12/4/05 at 12:13amI don't hate mine, but it definitely could be better.
-Was that a fart?
-My fault, I fear.

Posted: 12/4/05 at 12:18amI think it probably needs some tweaking. None the less, I think it's okay.
What the puck?!

When I'm not sick, yes. Some other people even like it.
Oh, and I hate Rathnait's voice. hate, hate, hate it.
Except when we're making out.

Posted: 12/4/05 at 12:27amSometimes. Recently it's gotten a little rough from lack of use and it's never been as strong as I'd like, but I love the way I sound in the shower.

Same here. Lack of training has to do with a lot of it, I have no power in my voice
Honey, I don't produce theater. I am theater.

Posted: 12/4/05 at 12:33amYeah I haven't trained much either. I mean, yeah, I'm not horrible but I'm not incredible.

Please, Rathnait. Now everyone knows you're lying.
There's not a person on this earth who doesn't compare me to Idina Menzel when I sing.

Geez, how should I know? Do you want me to leave the dentures out tonight? Sometimes, it helps with my "vocal" technique...
#17re: Do You Like Your Singing Voice?
Posted: 12/4/05 at 1:01amYou can take the dentures out if I am allowed to remove my wig.

eh, it's alright... I am a tenor with very little training, so I can just hit some higher notes, but wish I had a baritone sounding voice. My voice isn't very rich and deep like that of some baritone's, which sucks. Oh well, I can sing higher than them though? But don't think I sound too great.
Voice is decent and that's all I think.

Hmm. I'm going to try singing the selections of Idina tonight without moving my mouth from the Sarah Brightman "o" shape. Rath, I hope you'll help me. I also intend to make sure I use as much neck tension as possible.

I used to not be a fan of my singing voice, becuase I have this mix of rock, R&B and Broadway tones to my voice, and it is very distinct. I always wanted training, but I think my untrained quality has actualy worked to my advantage and I have been paying my way through college doing musicals. A few directors and musical directors keep rehiring me because they say I have a unique and compelling tone to my singing voice, which I thought was very flattering. I also love that we will be listenin to the radio friends in the car and some song will come on and one of my friends will say "Wow...that riff was such an Akiva, or the way he sang that bridge was very Akiva"...I have my own adjective now! I do think I need training though in the sense that I feel like I'll blow my voice soon enough.

What those posters had to say is what is my problem. I particularly dont like my voice because I have no power to it I can sing in a low tone and sound fine but when I want to be heard it just sounds well horrible.

Stir up some controversy...
I adore my voice. I can sing every note with clarity of an opera singer and the brassy-ness of Patti LuPone with the emotion of a rejoicing married woman. Oh no *snap snap*. Do not mess with me, fool, because I will just stuff you in an oil can. You just wait, you will hear me not only at the Shubert, but the Met, the Sydney Opera, the WORLD!
This is my signature.
