tas7 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Do you sing in your normal voice, some blokes have low voices, or do you assume a falsetto to mimic Geddy? Just wondering this whilst I listen to Freewill in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas7 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yes, although shrieking along with "Each of us a cell of awareness..." gets some funny looks from people when you're in a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pause Rewind Replay Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I try to sing along using my own range. However, my actually singing in the correct key at any particular instant would have to be categorized as sheer luck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I am an alto so I have trouble with some of geddy's range but I sure have fun trying, when I am alone of course! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Grownup Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I don't have Geddys range of voice, so I try to sing along at my own range. But I seem to hit every note not sung by Geddy My voice is low to mid in its range. :sigh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liana Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I have no problems hitting Geddy's range on the early stuff, my choir director at church has said I have a Mariah Carey-level range of my own. I just don't see it that way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I can sing along with Geddy's voice pretty well. I've always had a high range singing voice. I've had no training and really have no clue what i'm doing when I sing along with stuff but I can do higher range male voices (Geddy, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford) pretty well when I sing along to them.

theanalogmiddleagedman Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I sing as loud and high as I can, but I probably sound more like Alvin than Geddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaturalScientist75 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I try to mimic Geddy. And can pull it off sometimes (except the rediculously high highs from the old days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushBoingo Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I am a low to mid tenor, so I can do most of the songs from the 80s on quite naturally, I rarely though attempt the high parts like on free-will, and generally switch to my lower range for them.

Mika Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 First, I'm a girl, which you can probably tell from my little profile box on the left. I like singing, though when no one else is around, and I find Rush songs hard to sing to, like if a song is on the radio, in my 'regular' voice, meaning not operatic voice or falsetto or whatever. You see, when I was 8 or so, my parents were into 'The Phantom of the Opera', and whenever I was home alone (which was surprisingly often considering I was 8!) I would practice singing in that style. Through the years, that's the only way I really ever sang. It wasn't until last year (!) that I learned there's another kind of singing voice, other than high operatic. I developed this new, regular way of singing through singing Beatles songs over and over. I've only just started to try to sing Rush songs this way, too. I've never sung along with Rush, though, except at a concert, and that's full-out yelling singing. I have always sung a capella, so I don't know if I'm really singing the right notes, nor if I'm actually in key. I seem to be in key, from what I hear, but considering I've been hitting the higher parts in 'Circumstances', I'm probably singing lower than I think. Last night I had the whole house to myself (the first time in over a year, I kid you not) and treated myself to loudly singing some Rush. In as much of the same key as I can tell, I did 'Red Sector A' (one of my very favourites to sing!), 'Resist', 'Tears', 'New World Man', 'Digital Man'. 'Freewll' (the high part certainly wasn't as high as Geddy!), 'Limelight', 'Mission', 'The Pass', 'Time Stand Still', 'Nobody's Hero', 'Between Sun and Moon', 'Doube Agent', 'Everyday Glory', 'Faithless', 'The Anarchist', 'Carnies', and 'The Garden'. Holy crap. I didn't realize I'd done so many! Anyway. I'm going to have to actually sing along with some Rush songs and see how I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I sing in Gedster range 'til it comes to these epic fails. Best reactions I get from people noticing my air drum fills, in the car, at traffic lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo73 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I do a mix :P And both singing voices I have are really not very good. ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Depends upon who's in the car with me! IF it's the Mrs. then OF COURSE I'll sing the high notes...if it's just me...only here and there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
