Random Vocalist Call Out! I Want to See you Singers!

[Macflash]

After I switched to playing guitar a couple years back I figured I should learn how to sing. I really sucked at first, but after a little research and listening to a crap load of singers, I like to think I can sing...sorta. I wouldn't say I can sing great but my voice sounds better than most in high school bands. I'm definitely not a screamer type, mainly 'cause I just don't like it much and it hurts my throat. Also I've never had any interest in choir.

 

[scotth266]

I play vocals on Rock Band, Hard to Expert difficulty.

I'm the only person in my social group who likes shaming himself at karaoke, so I get dumped with the mike a lot.

 

[Sh4dowSpec]

I was in a church choir for about 10 years before a...conflict of interests forced me to quit. I still do some singing, though--I sing my own stuff, mostly.

 

[Crapster]

I'm a bit of a theater nerd, and I just discovered musical theater my senior year in high school so that's where most of my singing comes into play. I'm not what you'd call a vocalist since I'm relatively inexperienced, but I did pretty well and I'm looking to study singing more in depth so I can keep on with musicals...

I have a proposal, I say we do our own rendition of Not Going To Pay Rent From RENT in the strip mall by my house! Whacha say?

I got an applause from everyone in the room so either I did good or they just applauded the fact that I had the balls to do a patented Rob Halford scream in a room full of gamers.

 

[Berethond]

Vocalists are so overrated. They make me angry.

Still think so?

OT, I can sing a little. I'm mostly a guitarist, but I have a (semi) decent voice that I break out on the odd occasion.

Yeah.
That was pretty boring and terrible.

This man is a troll, just outright ignore him, seriously I would prefer being the last person to quote this guy.

 

[Ibanez887]

Im a vocalist in a band of my own and guest vocals in my friends band Quarantine
I mainly got into it from listening to Nu-metal and Alternative music from the 90's, so that would roughly be my vocal style

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

I used to be an MC, rapper, etc. whatever. Currently, I'm a death metal/deathcore/metalcore vocalist.

I'm pretty good I think.

Inspirations include Animosity, Bring Me The Horizon, Decapitated, Thy Art Is Murder, Parkway Drive, The Black Dahlia Murder, A Day To Remember, etc.

...How did you go from being an MC rapper to a Deathcore vocalist... Do...do those demographics mix?

I don't really sing myself... for two reasons, one, I'm just not very good, and two, if I were to sing practically, I'd have to drum at the same time, and having tried that before, I don't plan on doing it again... Namely because it's hard...

Do you even know what a troll is?

Hotel California by the Eagles, the singer for that song plays drums at the same time. It isn't impossible to do both very well, I'd give it a shot.

Oh, I can do rock drums fine, but I play fairly quick metal most of the time. I can do it then, but I can only keep up a consistent double bass beat and a very simple snare and cymbal pattern. And that's no fun. I like my fills.

My feet tend to tighten up whenever I tap them too fast, I could never do the drum lines they do in some metal songs...This makes me sad.

Kind of, but extremely badly. I just got into a different crowd after my junior year and they introduced me to the heavy scene, and I made a big transition overtime. My music taste expanded in a huge way, but now I mostly focus on heavy/fast/extreme metal/hardcore punk and subgenres branching from them.

Oh man, double bass is by far the hardest thing I have ever had to learn drum wise. It took me over 4 months to be comfortable enough doing it to even attempt playing a complete song. Also, your feet shouldn't be hurting... How are you hitting the pedal?

Musical tastes via peer osmosis?

Oh they aren't hurting and I haven't even tried on the drums. I was just saying that when I tap my feet fast they tend to tighten up and feel as though they are slowing down against my will. It was a joke that I failed horridly at.
