(no subject)
For years I have wondered what it sounded like to be on the receiving end of my vocal stylings. I did some karaoke, rock band, and other singing games a bit this past fall, which was a 10 year hiatus in singing. I couldn't tell you what I sounded like back when I finished high school; maybe I sounded better, maybe my singing voice had less of a breathy quality, maybe I was more confident; I don't know. But listening to some recordings I just made of myself is quite disappointing.
Seven Mary Three? Oy. Incubus? Vey. Dave Matthews? Oy vey! Danzing? Bleh. Billy Idol? Eh...
Realizing that you are not good at something that you enjoy doing sucks. I guess it'll have to stay an "in the car alone" or "when I'm drunk with friends" thing.
It does make me wonder why the hell my choir director kept me in the choir.
small update:
I should point out that it's not that my pitch is off (I'm solid on pitch), it's other qualities.
On the upside, I also discovered that my speaking voice is actually somewhat pleasant. It's not James Earl Jones :P, but it's also not Gilbert Gottfried. Hopefully others find it closer to the former than the latter.
