If a song is in a key of C...is it wrong to sing in a lower key while still playing the song in C? To me it doesn't necessarily sound wrong...
probably harmonizing...try singing along with someone who is actually singing in C
I used to sing with a guy who wanted to lead/solo however, he tended to sing harmony which, to those
who knew the song, did not sound quite right. (as mentioned above). It wasn't "wrong" it just wasn't
the melody most people associated with the title of the song.
Jude...I think you are right because people tell me it doesn't sound bad...I have a very limited range and can not hit the high notes even in the key of C without straining...so I modify...but I was shut down in front of a group of people the other day in the middle of a song and told that I wasn't singing in the key of the song...so...anyway....
that's pretty rude and a much bigger offense than singing in the wrong key. just my 0$.02
actually after rereading your responses I think I am doing both!!! Good gravy...
I tend to do that. I'll sing the melody till I get to a part that's out of my range or just more difficult then I sing harmony for a bit...
That is exactly what I am doing...ugh...how the heck do I stop? I am beginning to think maybe I should just play instrumental pieces only...
