With the a cappella groups, every voice is like one string on a guitar, one note on the piano, or one cymbal, and you don't have the luxury of falling back on anything.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know a lot of a cappella groups, but none of them are doing backflips while singing, for sure.
I'm afraid of a cappella. I don't read music, and I have a hard time harmonizing. Basically, I'm a melody singer only.
And then, I was thinking of doing a record just like starting with voice, because I did this one song that was just kind of a cappella, and I did it for this art piece I did where people could come and play music to go with a voice.
I want to make an a cappella record to release for free.
I can play multiple instruments. I love a cappella. I love barbershop. I love magic.
When you sing with a group of people, you learn how to subsume yourself into a group consciousness because a capella singing is all about the immersion of the self into the community. That's one of the great feelings - to stop being me for a little while and to become us. That way lies empathy, the great social virtue.
My high-school a cappella teacher would embarrass me in front of the choir. 'Mavis, you're in the basement. Mavis, you're singing with the boys.' I said, 'Mr. Finch, my voice isn't soprano. I can't sing up there with the girls.' So I just got out of the choir.
I'll do a cappella stuff, rock 'n' roll and swing stuff.
An individual voice can be heard in a choir that otherwise sings in unison. This is something that is not excused.
My dad always told me that anyone's voice is just another instrument added to the music.
