You know what’s funny? I’m an excellent singer. Years of formal training, sang professionally for years. But take me to a karaoke bar and I will be the suckiest sucky fuck there. Why? Because on a professional stage it’s a different vibe. Very focused, very intense, and if you try to do that in a karaoke bar you look like a fucking tool, so instead I try to be casual, not use my “pro” technique, and I end up sounding like shit.

Why? Singing and making music is a worthwhile goal that you generally achieve by some other means than doing a lot of karaoke. But to get good at bowling you have to specifically have practiced bowling.

That’s why they always use really shitty microphones— to level the playing field
