kareoke when I can't sing, how?


Question Posted Wednesday May 31 2006, 9:44 am

Okey, here's the thing. I can't sing.
No really, not that I don't sing GOOD, it's just that I sing...really bad. Like, really.
It sounds awful. Not that I think anyone would make fun of me..but still, I need to ask this question.
I've always been the shy quiete girl. And I don't want to be anymore. I want to be seen as a happy & loud person! So my class is doing this kareoke thing, and I want to be happy 6 up for anything 6 justa fun loving girl..but I can't sing!
So is there any fun or cool way of saying no to singing in front of the class? If I just say no everyones going to be all "c'mon, don't be like that.." not that they're gonna pressure me, but I'm going to feel like the boring girl who doesn't know how to have fun.
So can I say it in a fun way and turn this to my advantage?
Or atleast in a cool way so people will keep talking to me,. or atleats find me interesting??
Thank you.

I honestly think you are stressing out about this way more than you need to. I wouldn't worry about your singing voice---karaoke was not made so that excellent singers can show off their vocals. It's supposed to be fun! If you are really that worried, you could make your voice sound really weird/funny on purpose to make it seem like you are trying to be funny. Again, I wouldn't stress over it.

Karaoke was invented in Japan, and I believe it was started by businessmen who wanted to relax after a long day at work. In America, people who can't sing don't like to flaunt that fact, but in Japan that's part of the fun. The point of it is actually to sing badly, and just enjoy it. If you want to get by in life, you have to be able to laugh at yourself. If you don't sing, it's not that you'll look boring, but you'll be denying yourself a good time. I've done it. My voice is horrible, and I'm shy like you, but I had a lot of fun. I suggest that you do it, but if you really don't want to, don't try to be 'cool' about it. Just say that you don't want to, and people should respect that. Nobody's going to hate you for not doing it, but like I said, doing it is a lot of fun so I think you're ripping yourself off.

I used to think that my singing voice was terrible. The lady I took lessons from, in my opinion, sang worse than I did.

After about 2 years of singing every waking moment I could, I became much better.

Things to remember when singing:
-Breath right
-Keep on the beat
-Pick a song in you're vocal range

If there is a music program in your school, go to your music teacher and ask then to tell you you're range. They will probably be able to tell you by playing the piano and you will have to sing the notes as they are played.

I know this probably isnty what you wanted to hear .. but practice is the key! well at least it was for me. (that wasn't meant to ryhme lol)

good luck!
Ali

Make a joke out of it...something about why they realllllllly don't want to hear you sing. And try not to worry too much about what people think- I understand why you care but it's pretty unlikely that people would stop talking to you because you didn't do karaoke.
