I had a guy best friend. My girl friend said that he sounds like a frog & he agreed. ---

Get up and go take a look at your bedroom. That’s what I have been told (by several people who don’t know each other, so I don’t think it’s a practical joke) my voice sounds like. I’m not sure what a bedroom voice means, but I hope yall’s bedroom looks a helluva lot better than mine. ---

OpalCat, not I. Perhaps the other users can listen to it & then give me a description? Also what is this Soprano 1 & 2 ? I only read of Soprano. ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by handy: > \*\* > Also what is this Soprano 1 & 2 ? I only read of Soprano.\*\* Handy, It’s a term used to differentiate between different levels of musical singing. As a 1st soprano, I can hit higher, \ than 2nd sopranos can. The downside for me is that I can rarely sing any alto notes, they’re too low,and my voice just disappears, kinda fades out. Also, 1st sopranos almost always have the melody, 2nd sopranos sometimes also carry the melody, but not always. Now that I have confused you completely, did that explanation help you any? * * * You sing in my consciousness like a counterpoint to my life. L.L. ---

mega the roo has, I think, a pretty basic, nice, pleasant, adolescent-girl type voice, with a western US/Canada kind of sound. But not nasal or low-class. A well-educated person’s voice, maybe? Not the sort of thing to really make me swoon, but I go for that Lauren Bacall thing. Me? Sort of between Christian Slater (too recent a reference? Jack Nicholson?) and some idiot swallowing half of what he says, with this low-pitched rumble coming through it. Actually, I think other people may hear more of the deep rumble than I do. I actually have this really powerful bass-baritone singing voice if I project–yell it out–but I don’t use it so much. Then again, sometimes I talk more like Mickey Mouse. 🙂 * * * _Party per bend sinister wavy bendy sinister wavy vert & or, & sable, in fess point a demi-pellet en soleil inverted & per bend sinister issuant from the partition, in sinister base a roundel bendy sinister wavy vert & or._ Or maybe… like THAT. ---

Lets see, my voice is somewhere between tenor and bass, and when I sing(my kids laugh at me when I do), it is a definate bass(hard to believe coming out of someone 6 ft tall and 150 lbs(skinny)) 😃 ---

I’m not a big fan of my speaking voice. It’s…hell, I have no idea what it sounds like. Anyone who’s met me in person care to attempt to describe it? My singing voice however, is a different story. I love it. I’m a soprano 2 (waves to purplebear), which in my church choir in college meant I always sang harmony, which is what I love. My singing voice is clear and fairly strong. _sigh_ I miss singing. * * * Winner, SDMB’s Biggest FEMALE Chat Addict (Happy, Jophiel?) “Only two things that’ll soothe my soul - cold beer and remote control.” ---

‘Now that I have confused you completely, did that explanation help you any?’ Sure did, I mean it unconfused. I’ve been getting to know a HOH [she describes herself that way, not that I choose to be politically incorrect.] lady & asked her mother yesterday what she sounds like & she says Alto. I also know a Soprano but she never mentioned one or two. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-does-your-voice-sound-like/15277.md?page=3)
