do bards have to sing?

While 4e seemed to waffle a bit on this point between fluff and crunch (even having bards use wands), 3/3.5 was very firmly on the "music as focus" side, requiring bards to perform as part of their spells. Every bard spell has a verbal component (singing, reciting, or music).

You definitely can. A lot of colleges offer dual enrollment or something similar if you want to take college courses while still in High School. ... You can go to Bard's Early College starting at the age of 16. You would take you last two high school years of high school courses along with your college courses.

Like the previous answers stated, typically the verses are live while the chorus and sometimes the music itself is on a backing track. Almost always, there is a pre-recorded vocal as well in case the singer comes down with an illness or if the mic cuts out, so that the show can still go on.

It is worth doing for the skill quests, but you get far more out of those rewards if you do the quests when you're a higher level (i.e.: going from level 49 to 50 in a skill for free is far more valuable than going from level 5 to 6). Personally I really liked the bards college quests. Skills and loot are good.

The short answer is yes. There were some posts from a Celtic Women webmaster that confirmed this (were removed though) as well but also shed light on why so many people don't think they lip sync. This is because sometimes they do sing live and some girls more than others. Also, even when they lip...

Luckily, he was (is) still able to sing, but now in a lower register. He lost his ability to sing in falsetto. However, when he plays live, he still plays all but one or two songs in the original key.

I believe that the cast did in fact sing all of the songs in the movie. Some are even professional a capella singers. Everyone in the films who plays a singing part had to sing a full song for their audition. Any time protagonist Beca, played by Anna Kendrick, was singing alone, she was singing live on set.

Yes, they still require your Concentration. The scroll replaces the material components, but you still have to cast the spell.

Yes. You can't completely change your voice, but you can definitely alter it. If you're not familiar with singing, there are two main registers, the chest and the head registers. If your voice is deeper than you'd like, then you can use your upper chest voice or your head voice to sound lighter or higher in pitch.

You must sing a song that's based off of the given category. If it doesn't match the category then they are "Cut Off", meaning they can no longer compete. 2. When you interrupt another group's song, you must start your song with the same word that the other group's song has landed on.

Rules as written, a bard can only use a musical instrument as a spell focus. Can't use an arcane focus like a rod or staff like wizards, sorcerors and warlocks. Sword Bards have the option to use a simple or martial weapon they are proficient in as their arcane focus. Anything outside of that needs DM's approval.

But generally speaking, Pallys, Clerics, FvS, Rangers are Divine, and Bards, Wizards and Sorcerers are Arcane. Anything with 'arcane lore' and/or 'potency' is universal, effects all spells. Yes, Greenblade is good for a Cleric or Bard. Bards are arcane spell casters.

The rules do work however, in the majority of the words. 2. Every syllable in every word must have a vowel. English is a "vocal" language; Every word must have a vowel.

Well, the answer is always it depends, but a solid tenor utilizes mix voice more than they will chest voice in their upper range. ... They are using both their chest and head voice, I know its a weird concept but that truly is how tenors hit the high notes that sound so "full".

Singers learn to sing in languages other than their own. You can learn to sing in Italian without speaking Italian, although if you can sing an opera in Italian you have at least a head start on understanding the language. ... It isn't true though that all opera singers and classical singers speak those five languages.

For the vast majority of musicals, actors record their songs in a sound studio and then lip sync when performing on camera. This is true for the majority of the production on the first Pitch Perfect. However, for scenes when Anna Kendrick would be singing on her own, she insisted on singing live on-set.

In a large choir, a mezzo-soprano will usually sing along with the sopranos, not the altos, with the vocal part 'Soprano II' or 'Soprano 2'. If the sopranos split in half, a mezzo will sing the lower melody as typically, a mezzo vocal timbre is darker and tessitura lower than the soprano.
