How is a player singing bard songs?

I logged into my character earlier and while standing at a Wayshrine, I heard a bard playing. I walked to the source and discovered a player with their map open and their lips were moving in sync with the song, so this player was somehow singing bard songs. Is this an item you can get? I tried googling for an answer, searched the forums and asked the player how they were doing it and found nothing.

How is another player singing bard songs and how do I get to do it as well? It's freaking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd do nearly anything to get the ability to sing bard songs at the drop of a hat, they're so lovely!

    Maybe he/she just has a good singing voice?

    There's been a bug for a long time in which random things start singing bard songs..sometimes it's a person, sometimes a rock. I thought it had mostly gotten fixed, but it might have reemerged.

    It never went away for me @silvermistktralasub17_ESO

    I get it singing in my house too, which is annoying as it's supposed to be a place of peace and quiet for internal retrospection :) (Can we have external retrospection, or would that cancel out itself?)

    It's usually the male bard, rarely the female. About the same rate as collecting nirncrux.The male bard voice sings very flat on the low notes which grates on my nerves every time I hear it.

    The female singer in ESO is fantastic btw.

    We should band together and get a bunch of singing rocks! What would we call it...

    Only buy the best quality sugar traveller.

    Low quality, non branded sugar of uncertain origin can cause many strange side effects.

    Today a fellow traveller they sing to you, tomorrow it is the teapot, the day after that your Alinor ringtail is striking up a surprising harmony and also asking you to dance.

    I wish we could sing bard songs ourselves with /bard and /bard2

    I love to PvP and sneak up behind people and do a /flute and see them turn around and flip out.

The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    I did not take a picture, as it would only have shown a person with their map open as well as their mouth. I thought about taking video, but I do not have the ability to capture video/sound and I would have had to have downloaded a program. The person never responded to my whisper and ended up leaving the area, so the song ended. It was at the Artaeum Wayshrine.

    To clarify, this was a song sung by female bards within the game, not a person singing with their mic (it included the stringed instrument, same as any tavern).

    I had read that this may be a bug in the game, but was hoping it was a new item added to the game with the latest patch(es). I am sorely disappointed that it is not some item you can earn within the game. It was really a sweet moment for me, to hear these lovely ballads sung outside of a tavern (gosh I love me some Red Diamond). I hope that Zenimax considers adding this as a nice reward in future content.

    I play on Xbox, NA server. Back in June, was running some random delve or dungeon with some guildies, when I started to hear some nice guitar playing. I was like "wha?" and then...about 2 minutes later I hear the lovely voice of Malukah singing "over the hills and far away" fading in and out. I figured out WHO in the party the music was coming from, and convinced him to stop running long enough to record his toon SINGING and her mouth MOVING to the words! I took a video (PICS or it didn't happen!) Thank goodness for xboxdvr.com The singing starts at 1:58 in the 3 minute video, I got his toon to stop running around the 2:25 mark and got a close up of her lips! Watch to the end :wink:

    Malukah in the mouth of Elves in the Delves
    Ebonheart Pact, Nord Templar/healer on NA Xbox server. My main toon WAS a tall and foxy redhead - now she has been gamma-irradiated and has green skin and black hair. 3 other characters I only use for writs. Can't be bothered to create multiple toons - EXCEPT now my WW is getting spooled up for Cyrodiil - Blood For The Pact! IRL cranky sometimes redhead chick at large in Las Vegas, NV

    Been having this bug since at least Dragon bones patch.
    Here's a video of it on another player:

    https://youtu.be/XKZv6IKqURo?t=44s

    Most times it just comes from an empty spot, but sometimes it can take over NPC's or even other players with complete lip-sync and everything. Pretty funny.

    This is awesome, I just wonder: is the possessed character aware of singing?
