And/or what register? And why do you feel that way?
I know what mine is, speaking and singing. I’d like to hear about yours.
Clarinet, for both speaking and singing. I’m a tenor.
oboe or tuba. filtered through gravel and broken glass.
A box of broken glass as used in old-time radio drama for a sound effect.
A euphonium, no question. Somewhere… somewhere between the trombone and the tuba. Bass-baritone.
A kazoo.
Something with a reed. I’m 32 and it still cracks from time to time. :smack:
Bass viol slightly detuned, with a Willy Nelson-like timbre.
Huh.
I’m thinking something with a drone string, because even though I think “country” phrasing can be musical I basically talk in a monotone. Alto.
Baritone sax and/or cello.
A vuvuzela.
What makes you think that the human voice isn’t already a musical instrument?
My singing voice is a deep basso, so I guess it’d be the lower register of an organ. But my speaking voice is somewhat “whiney,” like bagpipes.
Cross between a badly tuned accordion and a Stumpf Fiddle.
Badly tuned bagpipes.
Trombone of course.
French horn, maybe, or a bassoon. I have sort of a Bing Crosby singing voice that can usually take on Orbison.
Baritone sax - impossibly smooth and mellow at its best, but with honks, cracks and that ragged dirty reed sound all too often.
Very descriptive examples! I can amost hear the voices.
