 Does your pup sing? Out in public, just in the shower, or only when they feel alone? How is their voice? Can they improvise a song and lyrics or just sing songs others have made?

Ellen doesn't sing much. I think she might do it as part of religious services, but that's about it.

Shephard sings plenty. Mostly metal stuff, some country stuff, and on one memorable occasion he drove away the infirmary staff who were supposed to be watching him closely by faking a painkiller-induced compulsion to sing "Macarena" repeatedly. He does not wish people to know that he knows all the words.

Varric sings when he feels like it, or sometimes when he's drunk, but he's not a great singer and would prefer to talk his way through the lyrics more often than not. It winds up something like Tim Curry's performance in the Muppet Treasure Island song "A Professional Pirate".

No sign of Santo singing, but he's got a lot of canon; he might very well do it in one of the movies I haven't seen.

Stacker and Fawkes don't sing.

I'm not sure about Quicksilver. It would be entertaining if it turned out he had a great singing voice but that it was ridiculously Frankie Valli high-pitched and that he thus doesn't do it anywhere anyone can hear him.

*cackles* Adrian! The English radio play version, or the original, fully Spanish one?

[camwyn]

The fully Spanish one. It's more aggravating when the people manning the infirmary can't understand any of it.

Giggling like a dork, at my desk at work. :)

Tess doesn't sing much, however, she can sing. Her voice is good enough to be professional.

I'm pretty sure all of my characters sing.

Splinter doesn't tend to sing much in mixed company.

Mike cares not for your social norms regarding singing. He will sing any and everywhere. And he's just shy of being a really good mimic, so he can sing lots of things quite well.

Raph can be convinced to sing when he's in his cups, or if he's on a long journey and there's no one around to hear him. His voice is...passable. Like, there's no music career in his future, but it's not so bad as to curdle milk with its awfulness.

Bumi sings like a sailor, and can be encouraged to sing almost anywhere.

The Loompas sing like your nightmares.

I don't know that canon ever really shows Aang singing, but I'd imagine he does. ..

Unrelated to the singing thing: I thought of your pups the other day when I was going through an Italian-language Tumblr. One of the posts started off with a picture of six or seven women in flight attendant uniforms that didn't really do their skin tones any favors... the words 'Oompa-Loompa' really stick out of an Italian sentence.

HAHA!
Yeah...they don't tend to blend as words.

Ysalwen has a pleasant untrained alto singing voice. She likes it. Sometimes you'll hear her humming 'Space Jam' under her breath, or even singing it while she reads. Because Dave Strider is a menace.

X cannot sing. Flat and tuneless and her range is like one note. One and a half notes.

Wonder Woman can definitely sing! It's beautiful. Kind of like a Disney princess, but not at all the same.

Raven's voice is very rough-sounding. It's in tune and on point, but rough like a harsh cawing smoker singing.

Flemeth used to sing. Now she doesn't. Ever. Except to her daughters when they are teensy. And won't remember.

Michael's voice is the most glorious singing voice a person can have. Such range, such splendor, such ability to improvise. Angelic, one might call it. Yep.

Quentin has a lovely voice and often sings when he's setting up his spells. According to canon, his favorite band is Great Big Sea.

Charles is an okay singer, he probably sang in various choirs in school but it never held his attention like science.

William has a sweet voice and a lot of practice as singing is more common in his time and he enjoys it.

This is true as well for Will though a lot of his singing has been accompanying Allan.

Moist has a decent voice, he's never really had to use singing for a job so its not something he has a lot of practice with. He does know all the various basic hymns for the various gods just in case.

Sameth a solid singer but for him, its more of a way to manipulate the Charter than to sound beautiful.

Ivan's singing, I don't think has come up in canon, I see it as decent but not that great. He knows how to not ruin other people's singing.

Jane has a lovely voice and lots of practice as her father's a vicar, lots of hymns.

Demeter has a beautiful voice, the goddess part.

Tumnus enjoys singing but prefers playing his pipes.

Gaeta has a lovely singing voice that he never uses anymore. He sang a lot to distract himself from the pain in his leg immediately post-amputation, so singing still has a lot of nasty mental associations for him. Which is a damn shame, because seriously, it's gorgeous.

Alistair can carry a tune if pressed, but if his world's primary religion wasn't so focused on music, and/or he hadn't spent almost ten years at the Chantry, he'd be as off-key as they come. All his vague aspirations toward "singing talent" are learned, not in-born. (Cullen's mun and I? Have definitely declared this fanart Millicanon.)

He does tend to hum tunelessly when he's drunk, though. And...I have a feeling he'd dig karaoke if he ever discovered it. After he'd had a couple beers, of course.

Curtis probably sang the occasional lullaby to the kids in the Tail, but that's about as far as his feelings toward singing go. It's another tool to be used, not something fun or beautiful or whatever; you do it to provide comfort or get someone to quiet down.

To follow up: Cullen does canonically have a very nice singing voice even if the song in question is stupid and makes no sense ethnomusicologically and spiritually speaking and this does include his knowledge of vast swathes of said primary religion's holy text.

That said, I don't think Cullen does much recreational singing. His day job involves a lot of yelling and then sometimes religious singing, and when he isn't working (which is very rare) he likes quiet and keeps to himself.

Sariel, Millicanonically, has quite a good singing voice. I imagine her as a warm higher alto, similar to her speaking voice. She's definitely not one to sing in public; she has to be comfortable with and trust the people she's with before she'll sing around them. I'm also quite certain that, when she does, it's much more common for her to sing in patois than in English.

Emcee can sing! He's not a technically great vocalist, but more of an all-around performer who happens to also sing well. This is why he would prefer to sing live and perform a song rather than record his voice. He'll sing anywhere, anytime. I imagine he'd be great at improvising lyrics if he ever forgets the words to something.

Pam adamantly refuses to sing. I think she has the ability to carry a tune, but will hate every moment of it and will deliberately sound flat just to annoy you for asking her to sing.
