Nowadays, my voice is really deep, so if I want to sing or hum one of my favorite songs I often have to do it like an octave lower than the actual song is in. I could probably sing just about any country song with male vocals, but that's a moot point as I hate country music with a passion.
This sucks. While I'm irreversibly deep-voiced, is there any way for me to regain a reasonably high vocal range for singing purposes? Like with practice, maybe?
You can improve your range with plenty of warm-ups, but it's not something that's very flexible. Have you not tried singing in falsetto? Not everyone can do it, but if you can, you can get pretty high.

How much range do you have? I have a 4 octave range, after I've properly warmed up. I can even hit a high E (above the treble clef) if I played the piccolo first (it takes a crazy amount of super-fast moving air to get noise out of a piccolo, so it really works out my diafram), and I'm firmly an Alto.
You know the G below Middle C? I can go one octave lower than that my voice starts breaking up. That's my lower range.
You know the E (or F) above Middle C? That's roughly my upper range.
If I could, say, sing the original "Pokemon" theme song and hit all the notes without difficulty and without resorting to falsetto (which just sounds bad), I think I'd be satisfied with that. That sounds easy enough, but you have to consider that high A# at the end.

I got a different type of medicine so now the swelling has gone down a bit. Hopefully I won't look like I've been punched in the face all week :T.

Walking around with eyes that are hard to keep open doesn't really fit my idea of neat :V

Ankle deep in the GSL finals - we're getting some really good games in. I'm glad I sort of accidentally went to bed early last night

Arrived in Japan today. So far all is well, though my eyes bother me a lot at the moment.
I'll just head in early and hopefully I'll be less tired when I get up...

Lonely. Been chasing something for three years, only to find out it doesn't exist anymore. Now I have to figure out what the hell I actually want.

But I'm happy to see you people are still here. Do you mind if I sit in a corner of the forum, drink coffee, and pretend to be social? *duck*

Ok, but don't spill coffee on the internet. It would take forever to clean that up.

If I were to run another Mafia round with the current timing I would probably set up the topic today or tomorrow so it would have a few days for people to sign up. I don't really want to step on anyone's toes with it, but that's my current thought process I guess. *nicks PT's recent ruleset*

I actually had to go to a Japanese hospital because my medication was doing ****, so that was mildly exciting :V. Went for my second visit today and they said my eyes are finally healing now.

And Gio!!! Good to see you around!! I'm in Kyoto now so I thought of our meet up there while wondering how you were doing. Good to see you around :P.
Also, hopefully you'll find something new to chase. I believe in you either way \o/.

Yuri! :D \o/ That's awesome, how is Kyoto right now? I hope your eyes are getting better!
I went back there last year in spring, happened to be during Sakura season :o It was beautiful, but I didn't find any hotel rooms anymore, so I had to camp out in an internet cafe XD

It's warm, not too wet (we missed out on most of the rain luckily). Other than that pretty crowded already XD.
Doing a lot of fun stuff like wasting money on kimono items and taking too many pictures for my to Japan blog.

I'd love having seen that o:. I went two years ago but we just missed out on them. Since I'm staying a year, though, I'll probably have plenty of time to look :P.
Internet café's aren't too bad, though, are they? I heard they have showers there too o:.

An entire year, lucky you! :D What are you doing there?
Btw, there's a new melon bread store on teramachi dori, can be identified by the giant line in front of it, try it, these are delicious :D
Yep, internet cafes are quite nice really - mine didn't have a shower (had to go to the sento a lot, too bad really :V), but a nice booth for myself, the walls full of manga that I could have read for free if my Japanese didn't suck so much, free soup and coffee machines - if it wasn't for the cigarette smoke, it would be perfect.
