Skit? I need advice...

[Shinigami Squirrel]

Okay, so I am borrowing my sister's account... again. I'm too lazy to make my own, and hers is right there... so, yeah.

Anways, I want to enter the cosplay skit by actually singing a song, but I don't know if that would be good or not. I can sing the song pretty well, and I'm working on my costume, but I wanted to know what others thought of the skit.

I'm supposed to be Charlotte Elbourne from Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, and I wanted to sing the song Lascia Ch'io Pianga, here is what it will sound like= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeQooVK6FXc&feature=related

Good? Bad? Stupid? Please, I need advice... I really want to do this...

Here is the lyrics for it. There is a reason why Charlotte is singing this...:

Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte
E che sospiri la liberta
[2x]

E che sospiri
E che sospiri la liberta

Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte
E che sospiri la liberta

Il duolo infranga queste ritorte
De miei martiri sol per pieta
De miei martiri sol per pieta

Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte
E che sospiri la liberta

[English translation:]

Let me weep over my cruel fate
And sigh for my lost freedom
[2x]

And sigh
And sigh for my lost freedom

Let me weep over my cruel fate
And sigh for my lost freedom

May the pain shatter the chains
Of my torments just out of mercy
Of my torments just out of mercy

Let me weep over my cruel fate
And sigh for my lost freedom



Is it bad to sing a song that is not japanese for a skit? o__O

You would have to pre-record all your audio. You would also have to put your audio over the music to the original audio, or else it just wouldn't want to work. That's my problem with a Phantom of the Opera/Final Fantasy Seven skit... I would have to sing every part and then mix them together with music because I don't know anyone else that can sing.

So if you ever figure out how to do it... You may wanna tell me.

It's not bad for people to sing a song NOT in japanese, I've heard a good amount of people singing .hack songs and those are mostly all in english. xD

[Shinigami Squirrel]

Well, I was going to sing on stage, with my audio as an accompaniment. So, I would be holding a microphone and actually singing while it played.

[LtCommanderRichie]

Can't do that. But singing in English would be fine. Like I said, you would have to pre-record everything. You couldn't sing it live.
