If you could choose one person to be able to sing like (like perfectly emulate their voice) who would you choose?

Personally, I really wish I could sing like the singer of red hot chili peppers, or maybe serj tankian.

Katherine · « **Reply #1 on:** 15 Oct 2008, 18:59 »

I would be pretty happy if I could sing like Jenny Lewis.

Be My Head · « **Reply #2 on:** 15 Oct 2008, 19:08 »

Peter Tagtgren, obviously. How can you go wrong with Hypocrisy and Bloodbath?

sean · « **Reply #3 on:** 15 Oct 2008, 19:10 »

I would sing like myself. But thats just me.

michaelicious · « **Reply #4 on:** 15 Oct 2008, 19:18 »

Alan Sparhawk, probably. Low is one of the only bands that I listen to where the singing is the thing I like most.

Christophe · « **Reply #5 on:** 15 Oct 2008, 19:21 »

I want to be able to yelp like Guy Picciotto or Rick Froberg or Joel Phelps. I'm not so happy with my voice right now so I think I may try singing in a Matt Kadane/Stephen Immerwahresque soft warble.

GnarlsBroccoli · « **Reply #6 on:** 15 Oct 2008, 19:23 »

Andrew Bird, with the hopes that I would be able to whistle as well as he can too.

Thurston Moore

Either Mark Lanegan or Kaigal-ool Khovalyg (one of the dudes from Huun-Huur-Tu, because throat-singing is fucking RAD). I will accept Krystoffer Rygg in a pinch.

theoryC · « **Reply #9 on:** 15 Oct 2008, 20:43 »

Kevin Max is a sexy man with a sexy voice. But so is Matt Berninger. Matt makes better music, but I can already sing closer to him than I can to Kevin. HMMMMM

This, but with Jeff Mangum's lung capacity.

Clearly you weren't paying attention when someone said "Sam Cooke" just a little while ago.

Regina Spektor. I'm not really a fan of her music, but she does have an amazing voice.

Calvin Johnson

This man has an excellent voice.

I'd go with Captain Beefheart though, simply for versatility. Except that I think this is a fairly silly idea and would really just stick with myself. I haven't heard myself sing since I was in a primary school choir before my voice broke. I don't sing, so I don't think it really matters.

I would kill to have her voice. Really I would.

Also, Jens has chosen wisely. Well done grasshopper.

Yes, yes, he did.

Although I'm glad he doesn't actually have Sheff's voice, because... Well, at the risk of sounding gross and creepy here, having someone in your family with that voice would've been very sexually frustrating.

Metope · « **Reply #28 on:** 16 Oct 2008, 08:21 »

What? It had to be said. I feel sorry for Will Sheff's sisters if he has any, that's all.

Liz · « **Reply #29 on:** 16 Oct 2008, 08:22 »

Frustrating for you, totally great for everyone else. Think of everyone else, Kristin.

Metope · « **Reply #30 on:** 16 Oct 2008, 08:26 »

Oh, it's great for me too, seeing how I'm not Sheff's sister. Woo!

michaelicious · « **Reply #31 on:** 16 Oct 2008, 08:31 »

Guys is Will Sheff cross-eyed?

Anastrianna · « **Reply #32 on:** 16 Oct 2008, 08:38 »

This is an interesting question that's you've posed. I like it!

I wish I could sing like either Shania Twain or Michael Buble. Although...I wish I had the vocal cords of a kid from my high school....if he sang Umbrella, he'd make you cry....

As a dude I do not exactly want to be a dude and sound like Regina Spektor. I mean, it's not like the question is "If you could be any singer?"

Quote from: Ben792x on 16 Oct 2008, 09:45

I also think it is interesting, though predicable, that males intuitively pick males (for the most part) and vice versa.

What? No, that's not interesting, it's just normal. Even though I (being a girl) listen to mostly male singers, I don't really wish I had the same voice as them. It would just have been surreal if I opened my mouth and sang with the voice of, say, Erlend Øye, even though I love his voice.

Possibly, but why should it matter? The dude is extremely talented!

michaelicious · « **Reply #39 on:** 16 Oct 2008, 13:17 »

It doesn't matter. I was just curious because I just GIS'd him because I didn't know what he looked like.

Liz · « **Reply #40 on:** 16 Oct 2008, 13:20 »

He is dorky and awkward and maybe cross-eyed but still totally adorable.
