That tone deaf kid in choir class

[@christinalynn1206]

One of my former friends is tone deaf. He got the LEAD ROLE in The Little Mermaid because his mom was the music director. The girl playing Ariel was incredibly talented, got a full-ride scholarship for her singing. The show was painful to watch because Prince Eric sang worse than the frogs.

to be fair, being "tone deaf" is very uncommon its more how its teached, i guess it was just a shit class? ive known students who appear to be shitty but they just didnt find their voice yet, Tenor, Bass, or higher, soprano, alt etc, the moment you teach them how your voice is used its quiet allright. it could also mean your choir lacked certain groups thats why bass or soprano sometimes sound awfull only pared with certain elements.

Love how the tone-deaf kid is implying that the other kids are the ones who are bad. Reminds me of one of the first times I went to a karaoke bar and one obnoxious friend in our group - who openly admitted to being tone-deaf - told me that she "doesn't mean to insult me", but she had never in her life heard someone sing this bad. I've been so terrified of this kind of feedback that I didn't have the guts to sing in front of people for the first twenty years of my life, but luckily my mind instantly realized that there's no reason to pay any attention to her judgment given how she sings and her admitted - and quite apparent - inability to distinguish pitch. So I continued to go singing at that bar (but without her) and soon got plenty of positive feedback from people while hearing ZERO negative feedback ever since. 😂

[@techrev9999]

Honestly? For me, tone deafness is caused by a disparity between the inner and outer ear. I can fix it by using a monitor. Karoke setups are notoriously bad for providing good feedback to the singer. Yes, I admire people who don't need a monitor, but being tone deaf doesn't mean you can't hear other's singing well. Or that you can't sing yourself. I have a big vocal range, but my inner ear is just trash, lol.

[@Kit-the-Kat]

I was a band kid, but I used to go to the choir concerts, and all of my friends were in the choir branch. There was one that sounded exactly like that. Whenever the choir kids would break out into song during lunch, that one kid would be so flat, reportedly the choir teacher said “you’re the reason flat earthers exist.”

:-( I was the tone deaf kid in choir. I love singing. I always went out for our school musicals (they would accept everyone, so I was just background in the ensemble.) I knew I couldn't sing, people did not hesitate to tell me. I sought one-on-one help from our chorus teacher, but she wrote me off as a lost cause. I still sing to myself a lot as long as no one is around. The big disconnect with me is that my voice sounds so different in my head compared to what it actually sounds like when recorded. When I play a note, it sounds like a perfect match to me, but nothing could be further from the truth. Sad times, my friends.

Oh god that was me. Our high school had a choir of about 500 people. Attendance mandatory for everyone who took music instead of art (I can't paint, but music had a lot more theory and mathematics in it). Choir teacher first called me in for remedial classes. Those didn't help. In the end, I was the only kid out of 500 who was allowed to take a break and do homework while choir training was on.

[@marshhen]

I absolute feel so much empathy for you. I am afraid I am this one too but I desperately wanted remedial help - but it just was not available. My teacher would just exasperated with me and say I was sharp. She even cast me in musicals (I could act well just not sing well) with solos in them. I would sing my solo as best I could and then off stage she would yell at me for being sharp, in the middle of the show, when I still had to go back out on stage and perform. Just a nightmare. She still haunts my dreams.

I am pretty much officially, medically, 100% tone deaf. They did the tests.

At least your conductor did something about it. I've been in novice choirs that have no requirement except being a human.

It took all of my effort to not yell at them to either sing right or shut up. The worst part is no one would tell them they're tone deaf so they had no idea how wrong they were.

That makes no sense to me to cast you for those roles anyway! Maybe you were kind of decent and she wanted more? Intonation is hard, even professional singers go off-pitch all the time.

[@wispisang]

This reminds me of this girl I thankfully only worked with once… but she was insufferable. Not because she was tone deaf, but because on top of that she was a diva who would yell at me and belittle me for trying to correct her. This was with a community theater group, my first show with them and thankfully only show I had to deal with her. She couldn’t hold a pitch to save her life, and since she was so loud and brash with her singing and kind of the popular girl of the group, all the unconfident performers who needed someone to help keep them on track would follow her, and half of the group would end up not just singing off key, but in a completely different key. Even with backing music. I’m very sensitive to pitch and so during one of our last rehearsals I stepped in and said “Hey, you guys aren’t singing the right pitch” and this girl starts yelling at me like “That doesn’t matter, we all need to sing in unison and you singing differently from us and trying to correct us makes things worse” like I’m sorry I want us to actually sound good? Sorry I actually know how to keep the correct pitch? It happened a few times she would confidently make a mistake with choreo or singing, I would go in and try to correct things because I didn’t want us to look and sound pathetic, she kind of seemed to take it as a personal attack by just how rude she was about it. This girl just had the biggest ego and none of the talent to even back it up, and the show came around and yeah, it was pretty painful. Just finished a show with the same company and director, this time I had a leading role. We had some complications with music but we had a woman in charge of it this time and she actually listened to me when I’d point out things here and there to help out. She actually went up and thanked me after the show for helping her, she was a really nice woman. Not only did I get compliments from audience members after the show and my cast mates for my vocals, but my director actually really encouraged me to try and pursue more vocal opportunities. It meant a whole lot to me because I have had insecurities about my voice for the longest time because of things I was told when I was a kid, mean directors who never really gave me much help on how to improve, but it’s something I’ve been passionate about my whole life. My problem back then was never pitch, but technique. So I put in the work and had some vocal lessons and now every karaoke night I go to I am always begged to sing more. I just felt like sharing this little story because 1. this video just reminded me of that girl and 2. just because you aren’t an amazing singer now doesn’t mean you can never be, and even being tone deaf having a good attitude and passion, while it can’t completely make up for a lack of talent, can still help. Sometimes even an off pitch performance can still be enjoyable if the person singing has a good energy, joy can be infectious like that.

As someone who was in choir with a girl who would ALWAYS have the wrong vowel sounds, YES. She would always BELT IT OUT, too. We’d be going “aaaaahhhh” and she’d be just SUPER NASALLY going “AAAAAAAAAAAAA”. You could hear it in every single recording, too 😂

This is so spot on. Two comments: I used to use "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" to check vocal range and handling the break in the voice, then I found out nobody knows it anymore! Second: If someone cannot match pitch, that is not an indication of being tone deaf. Tone deaf means someone cannot perceive the difference between pitches; if a person can tell a siren is a siren, they are not tone deaf. Someone who is not tone deaf but cannot match pitch can be taught to match pitch, given proper guidance, time, and patience.

Setting Carl on fire is very relatable

For our school play in Year 6, we played Matilda, we have 2 casts and I was skilled enough to get Matilda. I’d been doing singing lessons for about 5 years, saxophone for 1.5 (important for breath control,) have been learning instruments since I was 5, do musical theatre and have done dancing related things yada yada. The other girl had 1 and a half years in a musical theatre and no other experience. At our school we got leadership roles. I was being fought over by the art teacher and performing arts and eventually I got chosen as art captain. The other girl got chosen as performing arts captain (pac for short) PAC is promised whatever role they go for no matter how talented. I had to sit through this tone deaf girl sing Quiet, the most quiet, beautiful song in the whole play TERRIBLY! OH, and she SHOUTS WHEN SHE SINGS. Honestly, the amount of breakdowns I’ve had privately because this girl with no talent gets so many compliments for things I have done better, but people don’t mention because they know I’m actually talented is unreal. There was a girl (Mango is her new name,) whom had the most beautiful voice and was great at acting. She went for Matilda and would have been perfect! Nope, she got the worst of all the children roles. Hortensia; she has like 3 lines and that’s it. To top it off, she spread the coronavirus because she wanted to do her night and so by the time it was my night we were missing 25 of our 68 people cohort. To top off the top off, I will finish you with a quote from one of my friends whom was Mr Wormwood, (who was on the girl’s night, unfortunately my Mr Wormwood got covid so she* was on mine) with no help from me or anyone she came up to me and said: “You know, it was harder for me to hate you when acting then it was with PAC, because I can just look at her and hate her.” *we had lots more girls than boys so that’s why we had a Mr as a girl, she was just as good if not better as the male one anyway.

Daniel has never made a bad video

[@AndersonBowers]

So relatable this happens so much and it is so annoying when the teacher doesn’t even say it was from the right section so everyone in all sections has to sing together and then nothing changes

[@djantisocial6827]

God it was always that one theater kid who was convinced he was the greatest singer ever, when he was only there because we didn’t have a lot of people, and you’d only be able to hear his voice distinct to everyone else’s

[@NoiseDay]

We had two theatre kids with huge egos. They were friends that hated each other. One had perfect rhythm and bad tone. The other had no rhythm and great tone. One of them sent me home crying as a freshman :)

[@djantisocial6827]

@@NoiseDay Yeesh those are the worst- theater kids can be great or horrible

[@ahumanmerelybeing]

@@NoiseDay Why does "friends that hated each other" describe so many theatre kids so well? 🤣

[@omduggineni]

I honestly really want to see this as a series lol

[@shannonhudgins]

I swear, my high school choir director actually stood me next to the tone deaf kid because I could still keep the tonal center. But, man was it hard!

[@Lindonb-xg3du]

I honestly just love reading every ones stories in chat. Thoe I don't do choir or band and I can't say I've got exceptional singing but I can appreciate the video a LOT. And Daniel is right I am musically inclined,but my parents say "No. You must do karate and be a mathematician."

[@kae3027]

the camera work and overall cinematography is insane in this one!

[@minedantaken1684]

If someone gave me one note and told me to sing from that I would look at them like if they just asked me to figure out how fast a car moves using only their tires size

[@chanellegranlund7890]

“I don’t know if you can tell by now” 😂😂😂 nearly spit out my drink 😂😂😂 Yes we can tell 🤣 lol

[@ctfddftba]

I’m tone-deaf in being able to sing on my own but was in choir for 4 years in high school (only made it through by having a friend stand behind my belting the notes into my ear) but I can definitely tell when someone else’s singing is off 😂

[@lundylow]

I witnessed this firsthand. Science fair project to see if body size correlated to vocal cord length. Asked a guy to sing his lowest note, and he went "uuhhh." Highest note was just a louder "UUHHH" in the same pitch.

[@EileenSloane]

Damn Whiplash's plot isn't quite how I remembered it

[@aliceangel267]

I sang all these songs at some point in my music career. I knew a tone deaf kid who also sang all of these. This video is very accurate.

What did carl do?!? 😂😂😅😅💀
