✭Haven't heard that guy yet
There is a guy with a beautiful signing voice in Gonfalon, going thru the canals. I spent a fair bit of time yesterday just wandering the streets (Gonfalon is gorgeous!)
Then heard this beautiful song down near the docks, by the bridge, so I'm running around trying to find the singer, expecting them to be on the street somewhere.
Discovering them singing while lazily boating down the canal was one of the coolest experiences I've had so far.
Eager to explore more tonight but if the rest of the zone is as detailed and beautiful, WOW!- "Some enjoy bringing grief to others. They remind M'aiq of mudcrabs - horrible creatures, with no redeeming qualities."

I’m so glad someone else knows about this guy! He is my favorite “random encounter” so far on the island. 💕 I want to know what the song he sings is, I can’t stop humming it!Raava-daro [PCNA], a lithe leopard doing her best

I would've thought ZOS' audio team would notice a poorly performed vocal recording and just not implement it if it couldn't be redone any better. Then again, not every would be singer in the world has a good voice, so I guess at least we have someone to throw pies and mudballs at!CP2,000 Master Explorer - AvA One Star General - Console Peasant - The Clan

Yeah, I noticed the same thing. It’s almost as if ZOS is trolling us with the poor quality of the songs and the off key singing. Especially the All Flags song.RIP Bosmer Nation. 4/4/14 - 2/25/19.7 -

✭I agree. The Bard in Gonfalon is really bad. It grates on my classically trained ears... Though the lady singing in the inn in Fargrave isn't really that much better. Her singing and her playing have nothing to do with each other.
Maybe the people at ZOS who implement the music are tone deaf? *ponders*3 -

He doesn't sing, he screams (yeah yeah, I know, so "emotional" and "dramatic" - who cares about hitting a right note then?!). Poor creature must be in severe pain, I think. Maybe putting him to sleep would help... At least you can't hear him inside the tavern room, otherwise my main char probably would have gone insane by now.

But you'll never see the price it costs

Apparently he recently passed away as per this tweet by ZOS, his name was Billy Kametz:
I'm feeling heartbroken now. His singing for this sailing bard NPC is wonderful. Someone recorded and uploaded his song here:

SzandiSoul ShrivenI don't mind if the quality isn't great. Not all bards can be awesome, BUT please no off-key singing ever again. It hurts my ears and I have to run out of the inn as fast as possible it's so horrible.3 -
