I like the idea of magical singing, it\'s cool! I was thinking just singing for the purposes of singing, but all those ideas for singing spells were cool. *imagines a traveling choir/coven weaving spells and harmonizing*.

Something else challenging would be getting the voices right for the different races. Surely they wouldn\'t sound similar at all.

On a somewhat unrelated note:

Of course it wouldn\'t be singing, it would be \"ah\" and \"Oo\" since words would make it waay to complicated.

Who says that\'s not singing? Some of my favorite songs (ie Cassandra Wilson\'s interpretation of Chelsea Bridge) have no words at all.

EDIT: Forgot to mention something: If we\'re using the keys for notes, a simple system would be A0, B1, C-1 and such. Using A to G, and the number denotes what octave it is in (depending on the singer\'s range, since a tenor\'s A0 [middle A] would be an octave below a soprano\'s A0). Just a suggestion. Also brings up another question: How large of ranges would characters have? I know my range is a little larger (3 octaves) than most, and so wouldn\'t be a great model. I think roughly 2 octaves is the norm, or something, for good-sounding singing.

Hi y\'all. I just read the FAQ and such on the game, checked out some screenshots.... all I can say is WOW! I\'ve never anticipated a game more than right now.

My wish... well I read under the Musician job, and it mentioned something about singing. Will this be implimented? That is my wish, and there should also be a number of voices that can be selected (ie Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Countertenor, Contralto, Alto, Mezzo Soprano, Soprano). That would be just amazing! A farfetched/unnecessary feature, but I would die a happy man were this in a game.

I can\'t help y\'all with the programming, but if you do the singing thing, you\'ll need voice samples... hee hee let me know if you need Tenor, Baritone, and Countertenor samples.
