Thread Name: BS: Synesthesia
Subject: RE: BS: Synesthesia
Interesting that you should start this thread, as a couple of days ago I was going to start a thread on synesthesia and how synesthetic people hear singing voices they like and don't like. I was thinking about the threads we've had recently where people have shared their opinions about singers, and how each person's perceptions are individual.... wondered what synesthetes hear regarding certain voices. Alot of artists are synesthetes, but I am not one. I did have an acquaintance who is a synesthete who told me he would listen to my mp3 tracks to hear the colors of my voice. He also dated a girl one time just because of the sound of her voice. When he was young, he was afraid to tell anyone about his perceptions because he thought they would think he was mentally ill.
