David Duchovny: I won’t win American Idol

David Duchovny admits he is a ”beginner” when it comes to singing.

The X-Files star has launched a music career, despite having never sung before, but he’s hopeful people will enjoy his songs.

On his new career path, he told Billboard magazine: ”I’m a beginner in terms of my voice. I’ve never sung; it wasn’t even a hobby or anything, and all of a sudden I’m standing in front of a mic going, this is for real.”

However, David – who is making folk music – doesn’t think he would have any chance of winning a talent show like American Idol with his vocal abilities.

The actor, 54, said: ”I’m never going to win American Idol but I do have something to say.”

Talking about the transition from acting to singing, he explained: “It was much more piecemeal than I imagined. It’s very much like acting. You don’t have to be perfect all the way through you get plenty of takes. It was a complete learning experience by total immersion. I’m not a guy who came out of the womb with perfect pitch. I do have enough of a sense of pitch that I know I’m not singing it correctly so I’m in that hell where I know I’m tone deaf. But I listened to the album and I liked the singing on it. I’m tickled by it.”

David’s debut LP Hell of Highwater is released on May 12.
