I was a tenor in my high school choir. I was one of only four people from my school to make it to regionals, and one of two who qualified for state. Unfortunately, I was also involved in theater and both the baseball and swim teams, so I had a conflicting schedule and I wasn't able to go to my state audition. I'm definitely not expecting my voice to be 100% the same, and I won't really be disappointed if it isn't. I find just as much joy playing as I do singing, and just as much joy listening to other people play as well. I think it's awesome to see all the musical talent on here.

David, I couldn't help but crack up at your comment, haha. Singing isn't always about sounding good. Don't get me wrong, in terms of being a performer it is absolutely about sounding good and all of that, but just for enjoyment, if it's relaxing and makes you happy, sing your heart away. I've gladly sang with tone deaf friends because of how much I knew they enjoyed it. I would actually purposely make myself sing not so great so not stick out.
