If we say no, it's not because we hate fun. It's possibly because we don't want to feel like we want to die.

As a regular public speaker with intense voice dysphoria, my vocal prep for even a short talk starts the day before. No booze or spicy food.

Spontaneously getting in front of a crowd and shifting to baritone just isn't gonna happen. Sorry.

Anyhow, this is a thing that happened at Cascadia, and a couple other times, too. It's not the biggest deal, but a polite no should suffice.

No should always mean no, karaoke or otherwise.
