    Most people tell me that I sing on key. But I wouldn't call it a high standard. You certainly wouldn't want to listen to me do a solo.

    My granddaughter has asked me (kindly) to use sign language to sing. I guess I am that bad. If I could have a little dream come true it would be to sing well.

    I sing real well. I've been singing since I was about 5, and singing harmony in groups since then to.

    I can sing to a mediocre standard...but not to a high standard. Meaning, I carry a tune well, but there is nothing distinguishing about my voice. I am a flautist...not a singer. :-)

    No way. If I could sing to a high standard I wouldn't have friends in low places.

    Yes, I suppose. Everyone who hears me sing tells me my voice is absolutely amazing. They'd take me seriously and actually have faith that I could get significantly far on American Idol. I actually have a pretty low self-esteem... (but even I can say that I'm better than a lot of the people who get into the top 12...)

    My range spans four octaves, and then some; goes above high C, below the C above low C. For those who aren't good with notes, that basically means that I can sing anything on the radio with no problem--yes, in the range it's meant to be sung in, and that includes male singers. (I have to say that most of 'em don't sing very low anymore...)

    I've been getting voice lessons since my freshman year of high school--I'm a sophomore now--and I've been taking singing seriously ever since the sixth grade, when I joined my performing arts class. Even then, the way my classmates sort of gaped at me when I sang alone for the first time told me that I had some natural capabilities; they took off from there.

    And I'm keeping my options OPEN. My voice lessons are strictly CLASSICAL. My teacher's a professional opera singer. Is she good? Yes, very. Could she sing a note of Christina Aguilera for the life of her? HELL, NO. She's not INTERESTED, and I suppose that's part of it, but she can do classical and only classical--and maybe some Broadway--without her voice sounding out-of-place and over the top.

    I don't want to end up like that. A high standard to hold up, in MY opinion, is not only to see how well, loud, high, or low someone can sing, but also to see WHAT they can sing. So, sure. I sing arias and classical stuff for choir competitions. And I'd go for a musical any day.

    But during the summer, I sing in a band--and I was with all guys, which meant that some of the stuff was a little on the hardcore side, if you know what I mean. Heh heh... (I had to sing a Kiss song, for example. "Rock and Roll All Night." And I must confess that I never want to hear that song again. :'( Sorry--it wasn't challenging to sing, and I didn't DISLIKE IT that much, but it's repetitive, and, when you're the one singing it, BORING.) I sang "Welcome To Paradise"--Green Day--and "Blue Orchid" and "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. I never tire of the latter; I've done it two years in a row now. :)

    I'm a HUGE Fiona Apple fan, which basically means that I spend a lot of time exercising my lower range, which doesn't get much of a workout during lessons, and I'm JUST as interested in that half of my range. After singing her works for a while, I've found my style, my voice outside of the classical world. I've found ways to make every song I sing sound different, my own.

    The one genre of music I can safely say I don't care for is Country. Sorry. :P I just don't like the sound... (Faith Hill has a nice voice, though; there are a few exceptions. ;) )

    I have a tendency to rant, as you can see. Haha. I apologize. And--as I'm always afraid of sounding stuck-up or conceited--if I sounded like I was bragging in any way, I apologize, because I certainly didn't mean it. I would even post something for you to listen to if I had the capabilities to record.


    Maybe it all depends, though, on just where you set a "high standard." I have high standards for myself, and I don't think I'll ever reach them, 'cause I don't think there's a person on this EARTH who can reach them. It all depends.

    I'd like to think so. My range has 4 octaves and 5 notes, and I regularly take vocal lessons to keep my technique up to scratch.
