In a four-part choir, I'm supossed to sing bass. Instead, I stray and sing soprano! What could be so wrong?

Question

PS Any remedies for an aching molar? Too much French-kissing with my girl, ya know? And besides... I think my wisdom tooth is pushing its way through... Help!!! I can't sing in the choir with an aching molar!

Answer 1

Stray from bass all the way to soprano? Cruised right through baritone and tenor no problem, wow......that must be one bad tooth! Usually, it is a lower problem that causes men to start singing soprano.

Answer 2

It means you're not concentrating on your own line. M ost folks are so used to hearing only the melody of a song ( the sopranos get them 99% of the time) that they don't know How to Listen to their own part. It takes some concentration to shift your hearing around, and that means you gotta wanna do it. If you're not happy with where you are, and if your teeth are distracting you too much to be able to concentrate, then you need to get your head and your teeth in order before you can tackle the singing properly.
Dental problems are taken seriously by serious singers, so either stop being flip or stop being in pain. Your choice. There are plenty other guys out there who would love to have your spot in the choir, y'know?

Answer 3

If your new to singing or not, you should know that to get a deep sound you need to use lots of air support, and sing from the gut, not the lungs. I'm not much of a singer myself, but I play Alto Sax, and am involved in the military. Those who can use their gut can yell for miles. As for your teeth, lay off on the kissing for a while get it looked at by a dentist, and if its still screwed up... get it fixed?

Answer 4

A dentist might be a good start for your molar problem

Answer 5

Try wearing boxers instead of briefs.

Answer 6

I think it's that Tenor next to you!!!!!!!!
