Hey there, guys. Sam here with video number one of Story-Shorts, a brand new mini series
from storyshoutout.com, designed to help you add romance of life and adventure into your
everyday hum-drum. Without further ado, video one's topic is: singing a song differently
than you normally would. Kind of an odd topic, isn't it? Well, actually, yes it is (I admit
that), but it's also a whole lot of fun.
So, if you sing, let's say "Happy Birthday" or "Away in a Manger" you might sing: *sings
normally* "Away in a manger." Woa, stop. That's great. It's good that you can sing in your
normal voice and have pretty good results. What's more fun is to then take that and say,
"Ok, I can do it normally, but what if I was to go: *sings in deep voice* away in a manger?"
A lot deeper. Or, "*sings high pitch* Away in a manger!" Phew, a lot higher, wow. Obviously,
one of those will work a little bit better than the other. Singing high is not something
I do very well. But that's part of the fun!
Maybe you like to sing a song with an accent; an English accent or an Australian accent.
Well, then take it and put maybe a German accent on or a Spanish accent. This is all
about having fun, trying something different.
I'm not saying, if you're in a choir or singing with friends and family, you need to be singing
in this kind of funky way. But if you're just chillin' with maybe one friend or don't have
anything going on or signing a song you enjoy, hey! Flip it into a different accent! Flip
it into a different pitch! Have some fun with it! This is a little way that you can add
something different to your standard hum-drum.
Probably not gonna sound amazing. At least, it doesn't when I do it. Maybe it does for
your voice, I don't know. But it's fun. It's different. Give it a go! You don't have to
do this every day. You don't have to do it in public. But it's worth a try.
Alright, that's video number one, done! We've got many, many more coming down the road.
