>>I don't believe that for a minute. Just about everyone can sing. The problem is that when we hear our recorded voice, it usually sounds nothing like we think, and as a result, we think it sounds terrible. Usually, this isn't the case. I've contemplated this problem and, in fact, I've developed this simple test that you can take right over the web, in the comfort of your own home or office, to make this determination.

Haha! I figure that my oldest son loves the sound of his voice...he's always using it.:-)
