Im hearing Voices
 

Imagine if you could sing...alas such is not to be true, but hey we can dream right?

If you could sing like any reasonably famous singer, who would it be and far far far more importantly, why?

And yeah you're real ****ing indie and underground but it would be super awesome if you didn't like you or your friends band or anything remotly anonymous. Theres a diffrence between underground and club filler.

i don't like many female singers.. so this is hard.. liek berlin.. the chick from berlin she can really sing.. (i can really sing to actually and well to there songs.. but i can change my voice enough to fit most types of music) i have a very high voice, but i can change it enough to give it a deep sounding voice.. but only when singing type thing.. anyways yea..

but if i were in a band i would like to play guitar and lead singing.. but where that will never happen cause i don't have a guitar, and as much as i'd love to have one again i doubt i every will, and i'm way to shy to get up and sing in front of a lot of people..

I don't know man, I love many voices. This is pretty cliched of me since everyone knows I love the band but I really do appreciate Maynards voice. His voice is rock solid, it doesn't waiver or break when it goes too high, it doesn't whisper or pitch out of line when he sings softly and it doesn't gag or choke when he wants to let rip. It is an insanely well controlled voice.

I want a voice like Howard Jones (Killswitch Engage). although the vocal range he displays isnt the widest, its perfect for the type of music i play. he's amazing. singing, he just has this crystal clear operatic voice that cuts through anything, and his scream is just as powerful. he doesnt hit bad notes, his voice is solid. great all around singer.

Speak fo' yoself =D Anyway, I think my voice is that of an angel but for the sake of the thread. Anthony Green from Saosin/Circa Survive he can hit like such amazing high notes it makes me jealous, or davey havok for similar reasons. But anthony overall

id prolly wanna sing like lajon witherspoon from sevendust. hes got such a strong hard rock/metal voice:soapbox:<me singing)

Jeff Buckley.

Bastard took my answer . Yes Jeff without a doubt had an amazing voice. But Jeff was one of these beautiful people in every way.

jim morrison, hes not always on key though , but he sings really gritty. and maybe radioheads singer, on the acoustic version of 'creep' he sounds great.

Shane McGowan, just once I would like to know what it feels like to be THAT drunk and slurry

Jagger

I want those moves when i`m in my 60s

^ Hey is his solo career any good? I have here, yet another cd from the olds collection, of Mick Jagger "She's The Boss". Haven't yet bothered to listen to it though.

That good huh?


*Throws jagger over the fence*

Don`t listen to the album , but see if you can download the video to she`s the boss.

Just for the woman who farts fire

Jello Biafra (spelling?), He has an odd voice and he uses it well. And then I could write songs about Jerry Brown :)

Its between 2 for me
Cedric Bixler-Zavala - The Mars Volta
Russel Allan - Symphony X

Ahh.....or Geddy Lee

Kurt Cobain, just to be able to have that mesmerising pain in my voice. I know it sounds a bit morbid, but when I listened to I know you're right I was taken aback by how much feeling he puts into all his songs.
And the Radiohead singer. Although I wouldn't want to look like him. Ugly f*ck.

Don't work about his looks hobo, I'd say he just had to sing Rape Me and he'd haul the ladies in. Good pick too by the way.

I'm sure singing Paranoid Android is the real way to pull them then? Kurt Cobain is psychotic in his lyrics, not the way he looks. The Radiohead singer is an ugly f*ck and sings about voices in his head? They're both weirdos, but at least Kurt looks half decent.

i like my own voice i think it rocks (i'm no being big headed) even though i do like amy lee's voice but her voice wouldn't suit me at least i hope it doesn't!

either Thom Yorke or Jack White. yorkes because his vocal range is at times staggering, and whites because its just so damn kooky and raw.

Either M.C.U.D., Wayne Static, Adam Levine, or Jamie Foxx.

Les Claypool or Tom Waits

. . . or BOTH at the same time!

Chester Bennington, love Linkin Park and I love his voice none of it's studio he sounds great live and he can have a great loud intimidating voice and a softer voice if i coudl sing like him it would be sweet right down the track:)

Tom Waits, that would be fun

I've narrowed it down to Cedric Bixler Zavala

Gimme that Freddy Mercury voice... hold the AIDS, if you would.

Dunno... Don't want to copy someones individual style... I would just mash a bunch of my favorite vocalists together to create my own voice.

And most of my favorite singers are of the non technical type, i think to have a voice like Thom Yorke would be sweet... Though a voice like Robert Plant, Kurt Cobain, Tom Waits, John Lennon, Roger Waters, Jimi Hendrix or Ian Anderson would also be nice.

I also envy the feminine voices of guys like Jeff Buckley, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Todd Rundgren, Jon Anderson and Jón Þór Birgisson.

And Geddy Lee!!

Maynard James Keenan.

agree with him

I'd hope for a mix of:
Cedric Bixler-Zavala
Thom Yorke
Bowie
Jeff Buckley
Eddie Vedder

I do sing though, and do a reasonable impression of all of them.
