I guess its more that you are not so much interested in actually 
singing, but you are interested in making abstruse music.
That you think you are a crappy singer is comming from comparing 
yourself to other musicians which you might like, or you're jealous of 
their success though you don't like them, but they can sing in a way you 
can't.

Its funny a cello player would never assume she is playing cello because 
she is a crappy pianist (or singer, guitar player, flutist....).

The main problem musicians on this list, and maybe on ambient lists or 
alike, face is, that others (including the audience) believe a mixing 
desk is not an instrument. The audienc needs to be educated, that the 
guy at the desk/laptop is a musician, not a technician.
