Thread Name: What exactly does 'Sing in your own voice' mean?
Subject: What exactly does 'Sing in your own voic
Can anyone tell me exactly what the instruction "Sing in your own voice" means? I think it means to not imitate someone else's singing style, but some posters seem to think it means something related to not singing in an assumed accent. Anyone want to give their opinions? Note: One of my favourite songs is "Rum and Coca-Cola", and when I sing it to myself, I use a slight accent i.e., pronouncing "Coca-Cola" as "Coco-Cola", as I believe it keeps the rhythm. But in my opinion, the Andrews Sisters were overdoing it in their performance.
