Something which others may not know about unless you tell them or you’re asked, be it art 🖼 Music 🎸 or skill ♟ … what is something unique to you that may surprise others? 😄
I sing. I am a classically trained vocalist and it is absolutely my passion and also my therapy. To be there is nothing better than belting out a song…well, maybe a day at Disney World, but singing is pretty up there for me. Take me to a karaoke bar and I am in my element!
@ILikeWarmHugs thats really impressive !!! How young were you when you began being classically trained? 😄
@cuddles_ndream I was 17 when I started
I can write books with little bits of inspiration.
@ILikeWarmHugs ive loved Slowjamz/ R&b / SoftRock since I was 6-7 years old … I didn’t think it was possible to learn @ 17 I’m soo glad you did!!!
@TheNewNovelist What is your writing ✍️ style, or what genre do you enjoy most? There’s no greater feeling than being in a library or bookstore & getting lost in a really good book 📚
I’m really good at impressions and balancing objects, weirdly enough
lol what are some of your favorite impressions @b0nfire ?
I am a champion taco eater. 🌮🏆
@cuddles_ndream My favorite impressions have been ones where I’m part of a group that get joy out of it, like good-natured impressions of my managers and coworkers 😅 But I’ll take a crack at just about anyone with an imitable voice!
Lmao @oberon & @b0nfire 😂😂
I'm an artist, as a hobby. That extends to music, painting, laser woodwork and 3D prints.
I also speak several languages.
If I find that I have a talent I do anything but hide it.
Talents are too rare to keep to yourself.
.
I paint rocks and pour canvas.
Beautiful artwork @MCcuddles2 and @Sassyjo!
Gorgeous @Sassyjo
Thanks so much @NicoSnuggs and @CharlesThePoet!
Beautiful art here! I'm a sculptor.
Digging the artwork guys, you all are very creative 🌌
Some of the colorful, fuzzy, and warm things I make.
Omg! @CharlesThePoet ! Your work is amazing. Do you have a website?
There’s such amazing talent here in all of you! Wow! I am so happy that we have all found different passions that allow us to express ourselves. You all are beyond awesome! ❤️
@CharlesThePoet when I used to do hospice I coordinated services. With the Csncer Center for people who needed assistance with supplies , nutrition, meds etc. One of their volunteers made hats and scarves for the cooler months . Have you considered doing something like that?
I love painting and digital drawing but I wouldn’t necessarily call it hidden.
Maybe the hidden skill is being a cat whisperer. You know how many cats have followed me on my way home?
@pmvines
My mom donates hats, scarves, and Lapghans to the local cancer centers, and women’s shelters.
I donate some of my Squeeze Monsters to children’s hospitals and special needs centers.
I deliberately make them colorful and full of different texture and “fidget” elements for people who have anxiety disorders, PTSD, or are on the autism spectrum.
The “tentacle hair” is great for gripping, twirling, and sproinging.
😉
These are some of my watercolor and acrylic attempts. There are many great artists here. @CharlesThePoet I love your scaly hats.
I love everybody's art you inspired me to share. I like to paint/draw, but I don't really do it for anyone but myself. I have a shory attention span when it comes to canvas size, so my art is all very smol.
I love all the creativity here!
I don’t know if I’d call it a talent but I design graphics and since I was a teen I’ve done manga-styled character concept art. I also create skins for The Sims 1, the first Sims game that was released 20+ years ago. I’m not really active in either hobby aside from graphics.

Here’s a banner I recently did for my clan on RuneScape:
I sing a little bit too but I’m not trained musically. I can’t read music or differentiate notes by ear, but I learned through mimicry and breathing exercises. I’m okay, but not that good. I’m better when I’m all by myself, or when I have to be on Ativan, which allows my diaphragm to rest a little more. I’m a contralto with a range of about D3-A5. Beginning to sing in the 6th octave is an ambitious goal but it’s a huge reach. I can only do one note for like a second, lol.
I can do harsh vocals . People think it doesn't take talent to scream. Totally not true. Especially to scream and not blow out your voice . Anybody who thinks it's easy go listen to Lorna Shore , Devildriver Whitechapel, or Cannibal Corpse and try to do what they do and tell me it's easy lol
