Being authentic is probably the most critically important thing to me. So when I pondered the question "What do I fake?" I was terrified what I might answer, lest I find a chink in my authenticity and not walk the talk.
However, it took me a mere moment to answer it. I fake circular breathing.
I've got a couple didjideroos and can make some pretty fun sounds with them, but when it comes to circular breathing, I fake it. In fact, as much as I want to actually be able to play the didj, I'm really just a faker player. I pull it out as a fun toy, pipe some sounds on it. It's my "hey I can play an instrument, instrument." And that saddens me, because I really think it is an awesome instrument and I really wish I knew how to play for reals. I know how to solve the problem - just practice. If I want to really get serious I'd take a few lessons. But it's always on the back burner.
Asking myself this question made me wonder what other people fake. Since authenticity is so important to me, I would be fascinated to know what you fake (and why). Would you answer this question on your own blog?
What do you fake?
