So, do you still sing?

Only in the shower.

And the garden, and the car and the grocery, and when I’m cooking, and mowing the lawn and in the elevator.

Thanks so much for that, it's true that we sing for ourselves, my daughter can't hit a note, but I know that singing would help her through a tough time....

I would sing with the radio or a video sometimes. A bit croaky at the moment, the walls of the building are not properly soundproofed so I don't want to freak out the neighbours.

I love love love to sing there’s never a day that I don’t listen to music or a song in my mind or out of my lips

I love to sing along with my earphones on when I walk places. Makes me happy and helps me keep positive and zen.

I watch YouTube every day, usually all the audition videos
for things like The Voice, America's Got Talent, etc.

This makes me think I can sing.
So I sing along quite content..
then I notice the dog has her ears covered.
I am considering ear muffs for her.

Because, obviously, I am about to be discovered.

I love singing. I sing all the time.
Sometimes I even sing when I am walking on the street.
People would avoid me or walk faster pass me and then turn
their heads to see who the crazy woman is. lol

I do....but the cats throw shoes at me!!!

So many truly inspirational replies all of which I can relate to !

Yes I used to sing all the time too, when driving cycling walking but somehow over the years, though I gained some wrinkles and even a pound or two, I seem to have totally lost the singing habit :(

But surely if I want my daughter to take my advice about singing , then I must practise what I preach, lose my inhibitions and start singing again.

So today I made her laugh out loud by singing my morning greetings to her over the phone !

Yes

Simply put, yes.

Yes I like to sing, whenever the mood hits me!

I love singing lullabies

Love to sing :) Not a brilliant singer, although I do have a good voice, but I smoke too much. If it wasn't for smoking I'd find myself a band.

End of April will sing on stage again, which means I have to cut back smoking as from now on.

I love to sing - I just wish I could carry a tune - I sing along to videos when I watch you tube but
mostly in the car when I'm listening to CD's lately a lot of Sarah Machlachlin - man i wish I could sing like her!

OH!

I would like to more often. Growing up in the countryside, sang along with the radio all the time and loved it. Nearest neighbor was 1/2 mile away. I think the neighbors would throw snowballs at me if I did it more at home now. It would disturb the peace.

Once I was at the Expressions Gala and the co-chair and I were testing out the mikes--we ran through "Can't Help Falling In Love" a couple of times. When there was hardly anyone around, I had no problem with that. But then the co-chair roped me into doing it as people were coming into the hall as a form of background noise. She wasn't sure she could carry it alone. I can carry a tune, but can't memorize words.

So we're doing the background noise and I feel uncomfortable because there's someone out there I'm infatuated with and he is a married man. We did the song and he was out there watching it. I was embarrassed. I seldom feel comfortable singing in public--in fact I really don't. I tend to joke that if someone wants to have a jam session and clear the room, I'll be happy to join in.

By the way, I always liked Corey Hart's version on tape and YouTube.

As someone who hogged the open mic and got many requests but just went on singing anyway :) and then just stopped singing, and am now starting to sing again, I hardly feel qualified to offer advice to someone who obviously can sing, but one thing I have learned is this......people love to hear someone carry a tune.......my neighbour downstairs is more than slightly crazy and no Maria Callas, yet when I hear I her sing I know all is well.......:)

Yes I do often...and very well. In the past; singer soloist in a orchestra. In the present; solo(i make recordings for me and my friends); I sing in group with karaoke Pro w/friends. I can play guitar(basic) and world percussion. I play and sing simultaneously. I can also dance many rhythms by nature. I never attended school or academy for all that.All is in my blood and my heart. And all I write is totally true.

You asked...I answer.
