I do. It has been one of my main interests since I was 12, but I always liked singing even before that.

I am pretty good at it if I'm being honest, definitely not professional level though (not yet anyway).

Well, I have A LOT of favorite songs and artists. One song I have never gotten sick of listening to on repeat though is Maybe by Downplay. They are one of my favorite bands, I have all of their songs.

I love to sing in private. I would never do it in public or in front of anyone for fear of being ridiculed.

I absolutely love music!! !

However, I prefer to listen to music and play instruments(piano, keyboard, guitar).

I do sometimes get overly excited where I create music videos or musical theatre in my head, and get very excited when I do so!! ! It happens even in the middle of the night, and I can get hyperactive!

I can sing, and I have sung in public but I prefer to sing privately.

I used to get in trouble in elementary school for singing all the time.

Yes, I sing and play guitar. I started singing as a treatment for my speech problems and I enjoyed it so much I kept going. I have sung at a jam group - that's about as 'public' as I get. It was very nerve-wracking. I prefer singing in private.

I used to love to sing, but I had bad technique and now my throat muscles tighten up when I sing. I used to love singing Evanescence as a teen.

Me too, but not in front of people.

I'm not sure what my favourite songs to sing are, but I like to play guitar at the same time, so songs that I like, and can sing and play.

I never sang songs much I don't enjoy it much, although I always recite my holy book in a very melodious tone, I do it in front of people when I have to or when I'm asked to.

Singing helps me recover after a meltdown. I only sing when I'm alone though.

This one of my favourite songs, and I'm learning it slowly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75D4WzfylBA

I love to sing. I'm not very good, but I agree that it feels therapeutic. I'm nervous singing in front of others, unless I know they like it. I sang some pop funk stuff from the 80's to my friends the other night. I was really wired and just started singing choruses from "You Dropped the Bomb on Me," "Oh, Sheila," and other stuff. They thought it was hilarious. So did I. We laughed a long time and their daughter kept singing the long one syllable "owwwww!"

I sing Nevermore to myself all the time. I know the vocals so well it's like a good exercise. I've sang some of those songs for my ASD friend. I fell over once singing "Next in Line" while headbanging one time. He laughed and said it was "epic." I wish I had a video of it. It would be pretty funny.
