Anybody (besides me) else talk in a sing-song voice so that they are practicly singing everything.
I find it to be alot easier that talking in a normal voice.

Sometimes. I sing out what I say; I only do this with my mother. Everyone else gets the robot.
I find it easier too. |

I do it to everyone...i sometimes freeze up and get overwhealmed when occasions arise where I can't or shouldn't...othertimes I pepper it into my speech so that people can't tell so much.

| Lines from songs come into my head while talking to people. I found I had to supress the urge to sing, I think it gets perceived as freakish. |

Sometimes, when I'm hyper...I'll just make little songs out of whatever's going through my mind or passing my vision.

quite a bit. i talk in a sing-song whenever i can get away with it.
the rocking cadence of sing-song-talk makes words come faster than trying to speak "like a normal grown-up."
i make up songs about what i'm doing, but more when i am hyper or in a good mood-- smink, bink, wash hands in the sink, towel and dry and now itch my eye... and just dumb stuff like that.
sometimes people laugh because i will suddenly switch into a serious tone mid-sing-song. like, the rock-talk gets my brain going and then suddenly i will go into a normal/serious tone and start explaining something very fast. then when i am done, i am left kind of mentally drifting again, so i usually pick the sing-song back up.
and yes, with people i am less familiar with, i use pepper, and sprinkle it through my talk so people don't notice as much.

I talk almost the same way as Reverend Lovejoy from The Simpsons.

While not sing-song, I have a rather cadential modulation to my voice - largely acquired from old cinema and music training. In music, it can be referred to sprechtstiemme, or 'speak-singing', a form that became popular by composers in the early/mid 20th century.

It does not often come out of my mouth that way, but in my head, yes. Everything I think, or read, or write sounds like a poem in my head...a lyrical melody with rhythm and meter. It is the reason I have trouble using contractions when I write. They just do not flow. I also have a serious problem with using too many commas because of this. My fingers think, every poetic pause in rhytm requires punctuation. I think it is funny and if it is not important, I leave the extra commas because that is the way it sounds in my head.

i used to do the sing-song thing a lot when i was a kid... but then i switched over to "baby talk" until late teens... but because my family got annoyed and frowned on it so much , i slowly went more monotone. during the "baby talk" phase, i peppered it around people outside my family, so that it wasn't so noticable. i still kinda pepper monotone with sing-song sometimes, but mostly when i get overly excited. i still relapse back to "baby talk" when i'm feeling particularly insecure, though. plus, my voice in general sounds very young. when it's recorded, i could easily pass for a kid. and my "baby talk" could pass for a young toddler..

Yes...when I am not talk-singing...and am in total baby-talk mode...I am in general..but that is just a spin of the talk-sing..the two are seldom far apart......

I used to sing-song talk alot. When I got into the upper levels of grade school the faculty really started to crack down on it, and so the students kind of followed their lead. So, I stopped the behavior for the most part.
I still do that when I am working with my horses alot. It seems to calm us both. I sing their names in a little rhyme, if one of them is getting frustrated and confused. Kinda silly  , but it seems to work. It's hard to tell cause and effect there though. If the singing calms me and that calms them, or if it calms them and that calms me.

It seems funny to me that it is anything that anyone would want to crack down on...why?
It certainly does not hurt anyone.
I spend half the time I am vocal singing....It helps me focus...I make up songs about everything....
What is so wrong with it, I wonder....

Sometimes. I think i more tend to sing according to my emotions. I sing a lot, and apparently people tell me I sing even more than I think i do (so i think i do it subconciously a lot of the time). I often sing something (something related) if im feeling particularly happy/sad, or im walking somewhere, or walking to the bathroom, or in my room, or in the corridor, or wherever. In fact, although my practical words are spoken, the majority of my emotions are probably expressed through song.
