Topic: singing with ye own voice
After a post old doll put on another thread, i thought I would put this in here.
( I copied and pasted this just before I hit submit when i was in the other thread)
My pet hates,
are some of the Irish Country/ Western singers here! Great gutteral Irish Accents { nothing wrong with that }But when they sing they use an American twang to there singing { Nothing wrong with American accents either} Why cant they just sing with there own natural voices?Old Doll.
Yer going to hate me sometimes then ,lol. I canny help it sometimes but I start singing with, not my voice. I have no idea why!!
My only guess is when I am doing a cover start to imitate the singer I am copying?? I try not to but I think I keep doing it unintentionally.
So the only ones it is ok for me to imitate would be the proclaimers or Ian davison or the corries. All other scottish singers I know of dont sing with a scottish accent.
I think it is a bit like acting. Actors put on silly voices or accents to play a part so would it not be ok for a singer to do the same?
who in here sings with their own accent, or thinks they sing with a different voice?
