I had to sing off-key for a play I was in. I won't say that I have a
perfect voice. I do have perfect pitch in that I can identify the notes of
a song by ear but I wouldn't say that my singing voice is perfect. It was
too good to be used while playing a drunk. What I wound up having to do was
rewriting the song and taking some of the notes up or down a whole note then
making them sharp or flat. To complicate matters, my chorus teacher taught
us to sing just slightly sharp. To aim just slightly higher than what the
note should be but not quite sharp. I had to practice singing the song for
weeks in the wrong way until I got it by rote. To this day I still want to
sing it that way.
