I do sing in the shower a lot. I think I sing in tune which is why sing with such vigor and enthusiasm in the shower. But I have heard of some people who sing in the shower because that's the only place where they could be themselves and not be judged by others concerning their vocals. How about you? Do you also sing in the shower? Do you care what others would think or say about you doing that?

Sometimes I will sing when I am having a shower. But nowadays I tend to sing children's songs. This is a big difference for me after having a child:) I love China [youless]
Singing children's songs in the shower? like baa baa black sheep or mary had a little lamb, that's a good one youless, hehe. Good day! [baruchaba]
I sing in the Bath to the children when they walk in to talk to me... does that count? I can't sing in the shower as our house doesn't have a shower [Anne18]
Oh sorry, my topic is intended to address those who sing when they are taking a bath, not necessarily under the shower. So yes, I guess that counts. Good day! [baruchaba]
hey baruchaba. i love music. so i keep humming songs all the time. i do sing songs in the shower. it's just that when i remember any of my favorite song in my mind i start to sing. i don't mind about others. i always do what i think is right, so i won't be bothered as to what others will think or say. Thanks for sharing. happy mylotting. [chinniR]
I'm just like you chinniR, always humming tunes in my head. My wife gets irritated with me sometimes because I am not aware that I am singing aloud in front of other people, LOLlol. Cheers! [baruchaba]
nobody can enjoy my singing.so ,i enjoy singing in bathroom when nobody is around.happy posting. [riyasam]
Awww, don't feel too bad about that riyasam. What matters is that you feel good about yourself when you're singing your fave song. Don't mind what others think about that. That's their problem, not yours. Cheers!lol [baruchaba]
I sure do... I not only sing in the shower... I also sing in public places like the office, outside... practically anywhere. As long as I feel like singing I do so. hehe. I don't exactly have a "soul searing" voice but at least I'm not out of tune. I love singing in the shower especially if I have to be in there a long time. It helps pass the time. Plus it's a great way to express your feelings without anyone bugging you. Haha! rasp [rosedust82]
You're right about that rosedust82, music is a great avenue for expressing your feelings. Keep singing friend [baruchaba]
Hi baruchaba, I dont have the habit of singing in the shower.Some people love to sing when they have their shower.Thanks for sharing.happy mylotting. [sumiirajj]
It's ok sumiirajj. But it's good that you noticed others enjoying singing in the shower. Cheers! [baruchaba]
I do sing in the bathroom ,mostly when I use to take cold water for my bath so that I can feel hot!! [dasineni]
i like singing, but i haven't sung in the shower for a long long time, i think there isn't much happy things happen to me for a long time. if i sang in the shower, it may some good things happen to me. i expecting i can sing in my shower.hope that day is coming soon^_^ [yyfrancine]
I just love singing. be it in the shower, in the classroom, in the sala, anywhere! singing helps me release stress and extra energy that i have in my body. it makes me happy. [jemalynjoy]
i used to a lot and i like to sometimes. i like the way it sounds. when i was growing up we used to have a radio in the bathroom so i could play tapes or sing to the radio while taking a bath. it would make it more enjoyable. but since i take a bath late at night now and i don't want to be too loud to wake my children since the rooms are close to each other, i don't do that as much anymore. as for people thinking, i would get embarrassed if my family caught me, but they never say anything because they think i'm pretty decent. [emarie]
Hi baruchaba, singing in the shower is really a good way to release our feeling. Other than wash away the sticky dirt on our skin we do sing away our fatigue after a hard day work. I usually would feel refreshed and relaxed after having a cold shower and singing in the meantime. happy posting and take care. [lkbooi]
I never sing when I'm in the shower or while bathing. I always have my shower or bath quietly Lolzz.. wink But I have heard many people singing when they have a shower. In fact I have heard many of my friends sing and they sing really horribly. Hahaha lol Even if at all I used to sing in a shower I wouldn't care what others would think or say about me. I don't think that should bother anyone at all. Hehehe... Sometimes when I'm all alone in the house they maybe I sing with the music on and enjoy myself a bit. happy [razor123]
I do enjoy singing in the shower, when I happy I will sing loud. Not only in the shower, sometimes working too. [my125125]
I don't sing in the shower anymore, though I used to in the past. It felt very freeing to be able to sing in the shower. I don't dare do it now because I usually shower when my kids are asleep. I'd hate to wake them up because I was belting out a song! LOL [sacmom]
No,I seldom sing in showers.I usually take showers in the morning and it's too early to sing.I don't judge those who do so,it's their personal choices.As long as they feel happy about it,I've got nothing to judge. [LimoChang]
I would like to sing in the shower. But there is a big problem that I have and that is my voice. If I start singing I will scare myself and probable run naked out of the shower and then there will be truble.lol Honestly I have very bad voice so that even I don't like to listen to my selves singing.wink [pecevec13]
yah, and i think everyone does. its always great to sing in the shower coz itl make you feel like you own the whole world and no one would bother to care to stop you haha :) [nicecedron]
Hello baruchaba. I seldom sing in the shower, though once in a while I do. You are right that some who love to sing in the shower might think that the shower-room might be a place for them to be themselves without being judged by the others about how well they sing. Happy singing in the shower. [williamjisir]
i don't sing in the shower but some songs do play in my head while i take a shower. [surpriseme]
yes! i can't remember a time in my life where i didn't sing in the shower. i love singing but i don't feel like doing it in public so i do it in the shower instead. in that case, only i can hear my voice. lol [marshiemallows]
I LOVE singing in the shower. It's such a refreshing and invigorating experience. I don't care who hear's me, I sing my till my throat goes sore. It's the only place I sing, other than in church, because in church, if you sing, noone judges you, because even if you have a bad voice, your singing depicts devotion to God, so noone minds that. And in the shower, noone can hear me, and so I'm not scared of being judged by others. [djmepw]
Hi baruchaba, I also love to sing in the shower and I am very comfortable singing anywhere in the house even if I sound like a frog..LOL! I don't have a judgmental family members...although, they will always laugh at me but it's just okay for me..LOL! ANyway, I guess this is very common to us being "Pinoy" who loves singing! LOL!happyhappyhappy [checapricorn]
Singing in the shower is invigorating. You can just let loose. However, if you have a bad singing voice, others may not appreciate your "noise" in the bathroom. [zebra2222]
Sing? In the shower? Huh oh! The whole neighborhood will complain if I do that. I do not have a good singing voice. I think, I will not give them a reason to tease me! whistle [everlasting]
Yes, I love singing in the shower -- my shower is my very own concert hall!!! hahaha Well, I don't care what others might think about that. Besides, I know it's exactly the same habit for lots of other people so why be bothered at all? During college days, I spent some months living in a co-ed dorm. Back then, I've really seen that almost the same thing goes for both boys and girls as far as "being possessed" (i.e., singing :-P) while under the shower is concerned. So that's it! Happy singing!!! [oo0kulasa0oo]
I sing in the shower. Most of times I don't even know when I started to sing or that I even knew the words of songs. I think that I would be probably bit ashamed if someone heard me and coment o my singing... But I sing not only in the shower, but also anlog songs in radio - I like to sing and even if someone criticized me for this I wouldn't stop. [valanthe]
I used to but now that I think about it, I don't think I've sung in the shower for a while. I think I've switched to just humming. I don't really care what others would think or say about me doing that. There is nothing wrong with singing in the shower unless you do it so loud, you wake up the other people in the house. [SaintAnne]
I sing in the shower sometimes. My voice sounds better in there also... probably becauase it all echoes. But yeah, I mostly do it during the cold winters and want to stay in the hot water more. Other than that, I usually just take a quick shower and I'm done... no need to waste more water haha. [neeens]
I used to sing a lot in the shower... now I tend to sing when I'm at work stocking the cooler. I used to play in a rock band and miss it so much... music is my outlet. If I couldn't sing I would have killed my self a long time ago... [wickikitty]
i do sing in the shower a lot too because as what you have said that would be the only place that i can sing and the running water prevents other people form the outside to hear my singing voice i mean croaking voice. LOL. but lately i tend to open up and sing for this is one way for me to developed my singing voice. i was told that practice makes perfect to i gotta try and make the most out of it. LOL. [kenchiprincess]
well on weekends yes.. singing in the shower gives you a very good resonance thus you can hear yourself like you are inside a concert hall.. on work days... usually not as time is limited.. also not during winter when we experience shortage of hot water.. hehehe.. [luiscpatag]
I usually don't sing in the shower because I care what others will think or say about me doing that. My singing is not very good. [ravinder18]
Yes, I do think sing in the shower no I dont care what people think. LOL. My husband likes my signing so I guess I must not be too bad LOL. He wants me to join the choir at church but Im not sure about all that. [christylynn]
Hey guys, didn't expect this topic to gain so much interest. The reason I posted this is because I also noticed very recently that my son also sings in the showerlol Cheers everyone [baruchaba]
I sing whenever I feel like it. If I sing in the shower I only sing when I have my favorite Music on. And I sing it aloud since no one will ever hear me,hehe. I even dance to musics that is very danceable. I like singing in the shower because it echoes and I love the sound of it, lol [quawertz]
I can remember as a teen I would always sing in the shower or the bath tub. I would have my radio going and sing to the top of my lungs! Now that I have a hubby, kids, and several different jobs I don't have time to do this anymore. I'm just in and right back out so I can get my day rolling. [steeleIC]
not to sound ssasy to you i don't care what others think about me, period. i am a hummer instead of a singer. i sing along w/the radio sometimes but not in the shower. one of my sons use to burst into song everytime he went to the bathroom. where i wotked the bathroom didn't have a tub or shower & he still sang. we all use to get tickled at him. [ANTIQUELADY]
No, im not used to sing in the shower, and even if i sing i wouldnt care of what other people say. [christine_zyk]
I sing in the shower and out of the shower. I spent about 7-8 yrs in chorus if I can't hit a not then I should be shot. LOL!!! All in all I think music is calming and relaxing. LOL!!! [bellaofchaos]
hi there... i love singing in the shower... the bathroom walls have great accoustics... hahaha... happy mylotting... and i like to sing out of the shower too... [shiloh_222]
Hello my dear baruchaba Ji, I am exactly like you. I also sing. Many people sing in the bathroom because it acts as an echo chamber, especially with tiles installed. The multiple reflections from walls enriches the sound of one's voice, and "bathroom singers" enjoy themselves. Small dimensions and hard surfaces of a typical bathroom produce various kinds of standing waves, reverberation and echos, giving the voice "fullness and depth" This habit was reported (with an attempt of explanations) centuries ago. For example, Ibn Khaldun in Chapter 1 of his Muqaddimah writes: "Likewise, when those who enjoy a hot bath inhale the air of the bath, so that the heat of the air enters their spirits and makes them hot, they are found to experience joy. It often happens that they start singing, as singing has its origin in gladness Keep singing and enjoying. Have a nice time. [chintoo07]
Sometimes but I have a tendency to sing whenever I am in the mood, no matter where I am. I love singing in the car, with the windows wide open. I am sure I am getting some odd looks, too! LOL [nanajanet]
Sometimes I just croon in the shower.I haven't sing a whole song before.Because I'm a bad singer.Always afraid somebody can hear me [kingkiskile]
I sing to my kids in the tub if that counts and no I can't sing but its one place where they are stuck listening to me sing the ABC's and stuff lol. They do enjoy it and often ask me to sing the songs again. Their favorite is the fish song where the alligator comes along and snap eats them lol. [mflower2053]
I sometimes sing in the shower, there are some great acoustics in the bano. I usually need music to sing along with and I had a radio shower but I misplaced it, I'll have to get another one because they haven't made a waterproof iPod yet. I like to sing anyway and if I'm playing the showerhead balladeer only the water suffers. [gitfiddleplayer]
I use to sing in the shower and in the car, but I 've gotton out of the habit and don't think about it unless I hear something that I like to sing to, shame, shame on me, everyone should sing, it's good exercise and good stree release. LOL [savypat]
Hi baruchaba. I do sing in the shower. No,I don't mind if my spouse hears me singing. My poor husband hears me break out in song quite often, in the shower and out. He's used to it. Sometimes, he tells me that I have a pretty voice. I actually don't think that's correct, but that is sweet of him to say, anyway. [PearlGrace]
No I don't sing in the shower but that's a good idea. I like to take my singing to the streets. Every morning when I get in my car to go to work I chose a CD that matches the mood that I'm in for the morning. I pop that CD in, find the song that I like best, turn up the volume, and sing at the top of my lungs all the way to work. Sometimes I'm bold enought to roll down the window just a little bit. I've even started letting my head bop to the beat of the music. This morning on my way to work I was really in the zone. I had the window cracked, I was singing like I get paid to do it, and I sang all the way to my parking space. I didn't bother to check and see if anyone was in listening distance or if anyone was looking at me. GO ME!! I felt pretty good about that. [Thomboishgurl]
Hi baruchaba! Yes, I always sing when I am taking a shower. I feel that somehow I have a very nice voice when I am inside the water closet. I can hear that my voice is modulated while I am in the comfort room. I also feel that I sing very well. My mom would usually tell me to lower my voice because somebody might hear me singing. But I just don't care if I don't sing that well because I know that I sing from my heart. LOL [ace_ivann]
I sing in the shower and I also pray in the shower. Sometimes that seems to be the only place that I have time for myself. It is my private time where I don't have to worry about the kids coming in or answering the phone. It is just me and God, one on one with no interruptions. I talk to Him or just sing praise and worship songs. That is the sweetest time of the day for me. It sure makes the day better when I start it off with a joyful attitude. [change1life]
I used to pray a bit in the showers too~ [lordwarwizard]
Hi baruchaba, I used to sing in the shower, well, a bit every now and then but not anymore. Perhaps it has something to do with growing old. Nowadays, it is always quiet when I am showering. Just the sound of water and my inner thoughts. Cheers! rolleyes [lordwarwizard]
No, I don't sing in the shower, I don't think I do, I know sometimes I'll sing when I'm in the bathroom, but not the shower. I have a nephew that does, he's eleven, and I think its cute, you'll hear him in there just singing away or humming real loud, he won't sing anywhere else tho..lol. [walijo2008]
hey i do like to sing in the shower. i do it often as am a very bad singer to sing outside the bathroom. cheers:) happy mylotting! [meenunapa]
I do sing in the shower. I love to sing and it's rare when a song is not going through my head. I like to sing in the shower because there really isn't much else to do. It also keeps my thoughts from wandering to negative thoughts. Everybody in my family is used to my singing, so I don't really worry about what they think. [hmkoct5]
