    Mum and I couldn't help but notice...

    We were listening to Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion's duet, 'Tell him' and we were commenting about how amazing they are, and mum was like, 'They're both incredible singers and they both have big noses.'

    So maybe the secret to good singing is being born with a big nose?!?!

    Let's all get nose jobs...

    .....i''m a good singer. I'm not as good as them, but I only have a reasonable sized nose.

    it's nothing to do with your nose.
    It's about the strength and size of your lungs and your ability to use your diaphragm to sustain the notes.

    That's right get all technical. Incidentally I'm a singing student too. So actually I already knew all that you just said. It was just a coincidence mum and I happened to notice so I thought I'd post about it, k??

    If your theory is right Lucy my mum should be the worlds best singer! Unfortunately she sings like an elephant in labour... and has a similar nose. Sorry mum! *blows kiss to mumsy*

    ahaha I know.

    I noticed it too. Opera singers always seem to have big noses :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Me just wanted opportunity to impress WateryDomestic.

    She lovers me. But she's as far away as you are! In the opposite direction!!!
    EFFING DISTANCE!

    Being the person I am, I can't help but wonder if a big nose would significantly aid in aeration, and if aeration would improve the quality of singing. :confused:

    Seanathon = tonedeaf.

    This argument is over. : D

    But then again, maybe it's because I smoked for so long? ._.

    Well I have a reasonable sized nose and I sing reasonably, so that seems to be in proportion...

    No one ever tells me what size nose I have and I haven't bothered singing since I quit my Sunday School choir nine years ago. Not much help, I guess...

    Interesting. I have somewhat of a big nose. I sing pretty good, in my opinion. Though I don't think just because you have a big nose, you can sing good.

    Well like said before, it's all about the lungs and diaphragm. Hell, you shouldn't even use your nasal passage for breathing when playing wind instruments and singing.

    The key is taking a deep breath through your mouth and powering your notes from your gut, not your throat. That's where a lot of un-trained singers go wrong.

    I have a pretty average nose and I can't sing at all. I don't have a musical bone in my body :frowning2:
