Huh. I called it “singing through your teeth”. That’s how I karaoke 90s songs! Had no idea there was was a word for it.
I’d say stop doing it, but since it’s karaoke it’s almost like you have to do it.
I just thought I disliked most grunge
Turns out there’s a name for exactly what I don’t like about it!
I wonder why some people seem to change their voices when they sing
I’d assume its to achieve a certain style that they the singer find pleasing or complementary to the rest of the bands signature sound.
Oh fair, yeah.
So you’d rather they just talked?
There’s a lot of necessity there. Our natural speaking voices use the throat and lungs in a different way than any singing techniques. And, there’s multiple ways of using them to get a desired sound.
So there’s some degree of style involved, but past a certain point you have to change your voice to sing rather than just speak in tune (which is still a valid thing of its own)
Isn’t that like 100% of what Shakira does?
“distinctive”
