I Can’t Sing. I Croak. | k r i s a n d r o



I Can’t Sing. I Croak.

KuKuNehNeh (KKNN) and I went out with a bunch of friends over the weekend to K-Box for a karaoke session. It’t kind of rare for me to go to a karaoke joint, simply because I cannot sing. Because of my low, sexy gruffy voice, I sound more like a frog croaking more than anything human. It also doesn’t help that almost all the mainstream singers have voices in the higher ranges.

Mariah Carey has been said to have a glass shattering voice range that is close to 6 octaves and I guess the typical male or female singer is close to 3.5 octaves. I think I do have a respectable singing voice range or about 2 to 2.5 but the problem is that it is on the LOW end. I know that one can adjust the key at karaoke sessions but it is bloody troublesome!

I can’t sing most male songs. However, I can sing most female songs in the correct key but in the low octaves. The effect is incredibly funny when you see a hot and pretty singer on the karaoke screen mouthing the lyrics with my croaking voice in your ears.

Victor, on the far right who is KKNN’s cousin can really sing as well!

I used to play the guitar and sing in my own key and I did some recordings just for fun and torture my friends by sending it to them. I tweaked the audio file so that I sound like a chipmunk to reduce the amount of friends leaving me after hearing me sing.

WARNING!!! DO NOT PLAY THE SONG LOUDLY! KNOWN SIDE EFFECTS ARE QUEASINESS IN THE STOMACH AND INABILITY TO TRUST ANY MUSICS FILES ON THE INTERNET!

Listen to it at imeem if you cannot see the player above.

And since I didn’t lug a tank of helium to karaoke that day and I cannot just keep munching on the snacks, I have to find other forms of entertainment.
