Okay, but now you have to grace me with the beauty of your voice.

Are you one of those highly sought after celebrity Nation States players?

Are you one of those highly sought after celebrity Nation States players?

Yes, at least five people from my school remember me as the clumsy, stubborn Granny in R&H Cinderella, and a good two others are excited to see me as Mrs. Pearce in next year's My Fair Lady.

Okay, but now you have to grace me with the beauty of your voice.

Uuuhhh...*Husten* Beauty...right...>_> It sounds like a rock tumbler, hold on.

This is one of the least suitable methods of musical instruction.

For the record, I liked her before the secret was out.

Probably.

*shrug* So?

Ok how does the make you qualified?

How does that make me qualified for what?

SHe's more qualified then I am...I am a truck driver.

And being able to sing isnt much credibility in offering lessons...being educated on what to listen for in control, breathing, and anonciation(sp?) are what is important and that requires some technical training which a classically trained singer would have. Even a bad singer....


Not that you are a bad singer TC just making a point.

To judge single style, range and overall quality of voice.....

Hey, I could judge overall quality of voice, it's not too difficult. Understanding it, eh, that's beyond me.

I have no microphone on my computer(phwe-I can legitimatly chicken out)
I have had 6 years of operatic singing training-but it doesnt mean I am willing to embarras myself by singing in public-Im just not good enough!(dammit-to my shame)

To be fair to her, it's not as if she's planning on charging for her services or anything.

Give her a break...

Got a phone?

Well, when I apply for a job as the Music Director for a Broadway musical, I'll keep that in mind. :rolleyes: Often, in the world of musical theatre, cast members with the maximum amount of singing experience give advice to less experienced singers. You don't need major qualifications for that. Besides, I never said I was judging, did I?

Six years! How can you not perform in public after that many lessons? Doesn't your teacher ask you to?

I am married to a mezzo-soprano with about a dozen or so Operas and about 6 concerts under her belt. ;)

Even a trainer can be trained badly.

My wife has a friend that went through several coaches who saw a big black man and said you are a Bass. He was starting to destroy his voice until somebody told him to see my wifes coach. He went from being a Bass to a Heldentenor. :eek: He is doing rather well right now.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm not trying to formally train anyone! I just wanted a fun thread where people who aren't as good at singing as I am could joke about their abilities, while I pretend to be musically omniscient. How could this possibly offend so many people?

Offended? Who me?

The response wasn't directed at you.

Asking why so many would be offended? This is the general. Haven't you learned that by now? :p

Ahhh. I saw Classical trained and then musicals. Just a curiosity question mind you.

However, "I'll try to be kind." implied you were judging.

I thought it implied "I'll try not to laugh too hard".

I meant, I'll try to be kind about my advice. I wasn't going to mark anyone out of ten, or anything.

Yeah, that was part of it.

Well?????

Sorry. In the world of Opera, you meet rather snotty people all the time. Guess I was just responding without thinking.

I am a male after all. I am prone to that. ;)

Got a phone?
yes...and?Can you record a phone conversation and send it online?(i dunno?im uneducated in the ways of technology)

Six years! How can you not perform in public after that many lessons? Doesn't your teacher ask you to?
I have performed in public many times, but I dont like it very much as I am quite shy-especially when it comes to singing, you can be trained all you like but it doesnt give you confidence when your in front lots of people.

Dina's always trying to get people to tell him their phone numbers.

Aye, that's true...Course, sometimes things 'r more fun that way!

*grumble* Stupid file sites...Bah! I'll figure something..

Well, can your phone record sound?

That's true. The only thing that gives you confidence to perform in front of people is....performing in front of people! The more you do it, the more comfortable you feel.

Trust me, I only want to know yours. I'm faithful like that :p I just happened to use a phone to make up for my lack of microphones to the computer...
