I’m not quite sure what this means. You have a crush on Leo Bloom?
Depth of knowledge on an obscure phenomenon could cause someone to develop a sudden crush.
(1) amplified sound
(2) humidity helps relax vocal cords
(3) noise of shower masks the fact that you’re singing in the shower, so no one knows. In theory. In reality everyone in the house knows. Sometimes in the house next door.
(4) Privacy. No one will take a picture of you with your mouth wide open as would happen if you were speeding along in your car. (also, no speeding ticket)
Just a little one. Cause this:
is totally right.
I love singing in the shower. Always have - happy songs, sad songs, tuneless humming. Doesn’t matter. The “just slightly off” notes all get evened out (and now I know how), and I sound fantastic! I mean, I’m an okay singer (not nearly as good as I was in high school when I did it everyday), but in the shower, I’m Susan Boyle.
(Er…kind of an icky mental image there, sorry…)
Why thank you ::
Remember, though, if you do your guitar practice in the shower, make sure you’re not playing an electric guitar.
Unless you’re this chick.
(And yeah, that site (NSFW) apparently came about because of an xkcd strip.)
I’m a musician and I sing all the time, particularly when I’m alone, so singing in the shower isn’t really that much different in that regard. However, it’s still probably my favorite place to sing for many of the reasons mentioned above. Showers are generally relaxing, so I’ll have an elevate mood and be more likely to want to sing. I’m alone, so something a bit more private like singing is more likely to happen. It’s thoroughly routine, so it requires very little of my mind’s attention, so I’ll tend to want to do something with it, and singing is one of the few things that doesn’t interfere with showering. And, of course, it just sounds awesome in a way that I can’t otherwise get without adding effects to a recording of my voice. Unless one is really just not musical at all, I can’t really imagine not wanting to sing in the shower.
I’ll picture you as Beyonce, if you don’t mind.
I remember something like this on the album “A Child’s Garden of Grass.” Is that what you mean?
Right on! (And I may have garbled the reference, so it’s even more amazing that you caught it.)
It’s OK. I doubt SuBo posts or reads here.
