Do you sing bass, falsetto, other?

    My ninth-grade mixed choir director said I was baritone.

    I think she preferred I sing solo -- so low she couldn't hear me.

    I was tone deaf until about the age of 42. Even then, when I realized how gawd-awful I sounded, it never stopped me from singing.

    At least she didn't ask you to sing tenor .... ten or twenty miles away.

    (I don't try to sing either ... would much rather find the harmony and/or percussion beat.)

    I sing very quietly, unless I'm certain nobody else is around or the band is loud enough that nobody could hear me anyway :).

    I couldn't carry a tune if my life depended on it. I'm so far off-key that I'm on a different scale. The flat one :).

    I can't sing either. But apparently, in my girlfriend's culture, part of the courtship procedure involves singing for the girl in front of the family. That should be interesting.

    It'll be even more interesting if you yodel, Yodel.

    In fact, I'd pay to see the video of that. :)

    I'm a second tenor. I rarely ever try falsettos because I can rarely ever hit them.

    I can creep down into bass territory, though.

    I sang a lot of high notes when I sang in a bluegrass band (and played banjo) a long time ago. Haven't done that at all for years, but I know that it would be harder to hit some of those notes now than it was. And there's no way to "quietly" sing those notes. You either have to go all in -- loud -- or it can't be done (well, it can't be done by me).

    I have decent range, though, and can get pretty low, too.
