How Do You Sing?

[thegreekdog]

What singer do you sound like and what singer do you wish you sounded like?

I sound like Aaron Lewis of Staind:



I kind of look like him too except I have more hair.

I wish I sounded like Freddie Mercury:

[nietzsche]

just wait for 2dimes to log in...

[2dimes]

I sing like Judy Garland. Must be my shoes.

[Army of GOD]

Freddie Mercury if I'm going for skill, Barry White if I want to drown in pussy

[BigBallinStalin]

Wished:
Gil Scott-Heron


Wished (way too difficult):

Johnny Adams, a.k.a. the Tan Canary


Wished (Fela's got a funny accent though):
Fela Anikulapo Kuti


(starts around 7:50)
(see also 39:00, he can yell/growl while singing--kinda like metal, but not quite--e.g. Phil Anselmo at certain points
(1:00:55)


Actual:

I can do an okay Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World for only a little bit since it tears my voice up.

I can do some of Gil Scott-Heron's stuff, but I suffer at projection, can't do higher notes (don't know how).

[TeeGee]

I have been told I sound like fingernails on a blackboard, But I have never heard of such a group

[Serbia]

I wish I sounded like Chris Cornell.

I actually sound awful and annoying.

Bollocks.

[crispybits]

Like a very poor quality Johnny Cash...

[2dimes]

Sometimes Ising like Jim Nabours.

[MeDeFe]

Barry White if I want to drown in pussy

We know you're short, but please don't bring your fetishes into this.

[tzor]

It really depends.

When I am in Church, and when we are doing a lot of the 70's an 80's church music composed by Irish American Catholic Composers I generally lay the Irish accent on thick when I'm singing the melody. On tunes where the melody is written lower than normal, my Scots accent come through. From a classical baritone performance I sound more "classical."

I get a bit flustered if I have to raise my voice when singing, so I usually sing a bit too low. At my absolute best I sound like the Oogie Boogie Man.

My wish

[strike wolf]

Chris Cornell but I sound like Bob Dylan. Tangled Up In Blue edition.

[Lootifer]

Bollocks.

This.

[nietzsche]

What the f*ck.

I want to sound like Chris Cornell too, I don't want to be different.

Regular voice and singing voice are already a deep baritone natural bass.

Kind of like Paul Robeson, but white, and a more classical tint.



I wished I sounded more like a cross between Bing Crosby and Freddie Mercury. More of a Tenor voice that can do Jazz, Classical, and Rock. Right now, my voice is too refined and have no hope of getting that 'raw' sound that a lot of 70s-80s singers had, so I go with a couple of guys with great singing voices and would love a combination of them. You have the smooth yet jazzy sound of Bing Crozby's baritone and the flexible yet refined alto of Freddie Mercury.

[TA1LGUNN3R]

I guess I kinda sound like greg graffin, so not much range but that's cool cuz he's awesome.

It'd be cool if I had a voice like otis redding.

[spurgistan]

Aspirational: Leonid Kharitonov

Actual: I've always felt like I sound a bit like Warren Zevon after a rough night.

[DoomYoshi]

Tom T Hall with a falsetto like the Chipmunks.
