Any other singers?

c2w, fun to find you somewhere else!
I am a professional musician but primarily instrumental. I sing mezzo-soprano. I have a decent range but my voice is choral, not solo. I blend well with other voices but I admit to sounding a bit bland alone. I sing in choir at church, and worship team. My husband and I sang a duet just last week. But, I'm much more comfortable with some sort of instrument making the noise instead of me!

I'm a singer as well. I sing in the George Fox University Concert Choir and am a Baritone/Bass. I also sing in a more contemporary style and am a songwriter.

Pro singer/song writer/musician/producer/voice actor checking in.

Mostly Rock/Pop, but I've ventured into some other areas as well such as different traditional cultural styles.

I have a comfortable 4 and a half octave range, five if I push a little harder, but I don't like doing that too often. Hopefully soon with my continued training, I'll be able to hit a comfortable 5 and find my whistle voice. Takes time and practice as well as proper instruction.

Whistle voice! At the risk of sounding like a little kid... woohoo! I have never worked my vocals enough to discover my own. Like I said, I'm an instrumentalist primarily.

C2W, I'm a woodwinds player and concert band composer. Clarinet, oboe, flute and sax are my focus instruments. I think it's awesome you sing opera. I wish I could, but as I've said, I'm such a choral voice it would be a little silly to try. I can hit notes cleanly but that's as good as I get.

Hey Blythe! What instruments do you play?

tcwoods...another Oregonian! A friend of mine graduated from George Fox a year ago, I think. How many songs have you written?

Awesome to see another Oregonian on here! So far I've written about 25 or so songs.

I'm a tenor. I enjoy musicals, and pop/rock music. I was in show choir in high school.

Singing is my life <3

Agreed. Most of the time I'm singing some song in my head, if not out loud

I'm a singer/songwriter/musician. I haven't a clue of my range or anything. I just kinda sing. I don't have a fantastic voice or anything, but I can carry a tune. I pretty much depend on my musician/songwriter skills to make up for my vocal mediocrity. I've led worship before and am working on getting a band back together. I sing worship stuff, obviously. It's tending towards alternative or acoustic pop as of late.

I am primarily a pianist, but I LOVE to sing. I would love to get lessons so I have a better range. I am most definitely an alto. I have no idea what style best suits me. Still trying to figure that out. I have a big voice when I want to, but am still learning to control it. Would enjoy singing with soul but don't have the control down.

i love to sing i sing in a church choir got a solo given to me a couple of weeks ago the song is somebodys prayin

love the solo goes well with my voice i am metzo soprano aswell if i go high its not often i do so i tend to stick in the middle .

i have tried for the x factor twice its what i want to do im going to keep trying as it is where i see myself

Music is definitely a huge part of my life. I have played piano for around 18 years, guitar for close to 10, and I goof off with instruments like drums, violin, and the organ. I also sing and have been a worship leader since I was in high school. I have around 35 songs written with only about 20 copyrighted. I mostly play/sing/write contemporary christian music. Though I am classically trained in piano (that was my emphasis in college).

Oh, and I'm proud to say I'm an alto!

I LOVE to sing.

Totally me! I used to get busted in high school for "listening to my music" instead of paying attention - even when I didn't have headphones in!

I don't have real formal training - just choirs and stuff. Though I was in the Alberta Children's Honour Choir when I was younger - which is NOT easy to do. Been in a few bands through high school and beyond.
One of which is on purevolume.com - and of course, since I don't have 50 posts, I can't post the link.. everyone I have showed it to seems to like it. (If you wanna look it up, the band name was logically declined, song was called judgement)

I tend to lead towards..progressive, alternative and such
I have been told time and time again I sound A LOT like Amy Lee of Evanescene, as well as a few others I can't think of right now. I do go to Karoke a lot and I always get comments after I go

I swear without music, I would shrivel and die

Any other singers here? If so, why style are you? Do you sing at church or just on your own?

In order:

1) Yep, I sing.
2) The style that causes glass to shatter and ears to bleed.
3) In the car and at karaoke.
