Well I wanted to know your opinion on what make's a good voice, is it the time and effort put into training your voice and honing it to perfection or are some people more naturally gifted with good voices?

I realise that guitar is more something you can train to perfection - like Kris says no natural talent required, but vocally you only have what you are given originally.

So basically, do you think great singers are born with a natural ability or work towards good voices? Or perhaps a bit of both?

Guys...

I think that I'm a perfect example. I represent the people who doesn't born with a natural talent. I sing since I have memory and my ears was training so much, and that's help me a lot.... Then I studied vocal technique and help me more.
I believe in both things... people who born with a natural talent exist, and you can recognize them easily(like Freddy Mercury, Jannis Joplin or Bono ). In the other hand you have "my part"... and curiously I believe that we are a majority. I can give you a lot of examples: Dave Grohl, Joe Ramone, Madonna, Scott Weiland, David Matthews, Robert Smith, etc, etc. All these people were developed their voices with the time. Then we have an important point, and it is that many good singers don't sing their own style, so that make we think that their voices are not good, but this is not real.

So!.. to have a good voice includes a combination of things... Attitude, Perseverance, Passion, and in many cases a natural talent.

Thanks god for the diversity of singers or styles, don't you think? biggrin.gif
