Glee, pt 2
Comments (2) An afterthought to my previous post…
I’ve also been thinking a lot about singing while watching Glee. I never particularly liked singing, but I’m pretty musical. I’ve been playing piano for years, and been told I have a nice singing voice. But I don’t think I’m a great singer, and don’t do it very often.
I suppose I should correct myself – I never liked hearing myself sing. I honestly do like singing, and really wish I could appreciate my own singing voice. (It’s a sign of how drunk I am if I’m willing, let alone eager, to sing while playing piano or Rock Band…)
But, even though I’m usually OK with my speaking voice (usually, mind you), I can never find a range I’m comfortable with while singing. My natural range is very male, and while I can hold a tune and know I’m a not-too-shabby singer, it doesn’t feel great that I always end up singing the male parts while driving in the car.
I’ve considered taking lessons, but feel like I’d automatically be outing myself if I do so. (I’m logically pretty sure that’s not true, but still feel like it is it.) I’ve been trying to get myself to sing more often, and not shy away from Rock Band at the very least, but it’s been an uphill climb…
