Mimicking people was something I did already.
I found that I could make people laugh doing people like Shirley Bassey. Fortunately it worked.
I find singing as somebody else very liberating, it just frees me up.
I just find it thrilling, especially when I totally lock in to the person that I am doing and I'm really flying... I suppose I am hiding myself when I sing as these other people.
I cant read a note of music. I just do it all from ear.
My own singing voice is not very good and I don't think that anybody really sings in their own voice.
