autism and singing

Post Reply New Topic

I love singing (a lot), and it does have therapeutic value for me. I'm able to cheer myself up with the right song.

I'm one of those "can't sing" people but I love to sing alone with oldies on-line while I play a game. Problem is those vocal pop-ups that are so bad and so often that I've given up.

Does anybody know how to get rid of those pop-ups?

i would love to sing, but so many have told me not to that i don't. even my wife, who is a singer. i'm told that i'm "tone deaf", but i can hear music just fine, just can't make it, i guess; so i say that i'm "tone mute".

I love to sing. I love music, and singing is voice-music. My mom says I my first attempts to talk were by singing.

Music is my equivalent of talking about emotions.

My mom always used to sing to me before I went to sleep, to calm me down, to comfort me when I was sad and in the aftermath of meltdowns. Sometimes, she'd sing me songs to tell me things when words were not working. Now I use listening to music and singing to calm and comfort myself. (I sing when I'm happy, too, but don't think happy-singing counts as therapeutic.)

I absolutely love singing but I am the worst person really to have that talent/ability because I am so 'shy/unconfident'. In reality I am not shy and am extremely confident but singing is done in front of people. Strangers........eeek.

I will go on the karaoke and sing my heart out and people will compliment me but I am like a wooden figure while singing. No movement, just singing I used to sing in a band but I had keyboards and guitars there 'to hide behind' so I didn't need to move at all anyway.

But yes.I love singing.

Yeah, I give singing a go in private quite a bit but I'm godawful at it. I once serenaded a lass who fancied me and she told me never to sing again. She was clearly right though on the notes I can't hit and the way I can't seem to use my diaphragm. I wouldn't mind having a strong, precise croon.

I'm a bad singer and I know it, so I don't even try. I really like music, though.

I sing all the time. Choir and Show Choir and theatre were the closest thing I had to a social identity in High School. I'm led to believe that I used to have a really good voice. Over the last several years, I have become at how monotone I sound when I sing. I've started experimenting with different vocal styles even though some of them come out sounding ridiculous. Recently learning about Asperger's, I'm thinking to myself now...a monotone Aspie...how very curious.

I try to sing, but most of the time I have part of the song Mr. Sandman stuck in my head. It's not really the whole song it is just the melody just before the singing starts. It's like a broken record, over and over again. There's a lot of things in my life that are that way.

Singing reduces anxiety for me. I think it's because of the controlled breathing.
