I was in a choir for most of my young life, but I still sing even though my vocal cords are lazy. I like vocals in the style of Tool, APC, Chevelle, and Muse.

I'm a solo entertainer and have been singing for about 17 years. I have some mp3's available for download on my site. They aren't the best recordings and were pretty rushed when I did them so there is some off notes etc, but you get the general idea of repertoire and vocal range. Shane

RandomHero, you're beginning to scare me....same age...similar background...wives have similar outlooks on music...and now this.... In HS, I was in Chorus and Madrigal Chorus. A-ways back I used to fill in singing in the chorus for a few community theaters in a pinch. Back in my band days, I sang about 1/3 of our sets (the ones that were in my limited rage). Back in HS, on a good day, I could hit about two and a half octaves....nowadays, I'm more like almost two....and then....falsetto . Back in my band days, I used to try to sing like someone else. I used to do a convincing John Lennon, Ben Orr (Cars), and Cliff Johnson (Off Broadway, if anyone knows who he is ). I gave up on that though, it's tough enough just to try and nail a song playing and singing; I won't bother killing myself trying to sound like someone else doing it. My wife (A former Chicago All-City Chorus member), says I have a harmonizing voice; it sounds better blended with someone else's (these days, usually hers ).

until a couple of years ago i would NEVER sing in public.
but a good friend of mine encouraged me to sing a few tunes with his band.
when i first started, it was totally out of character for me, but i found that i really enjoyed it!
forget about singing and playing at the same time.
walking and chewing gum, O.K. -- but that's about the limit.
no Geddy Lee here, my range is Bass to Baritone.
there aren't too many songs with those kind of limits, but i can really knock Smashmouth tunes out of the park.
otherwise, i have to be really careful about song selection.
i can actually do a pretty good Bing Crosby, but as you might guess there isn't too much call for that.

no, don't think of it the way it's written.
think of it the way it's pronounced!

"Why is a guitar solo like a sneeze?"
"Because you know when both of them are coming, and there's nothing that you can do about it."
