I can't sing in front of people, help?
Don't worry too much - we all have fears. I used to be afraid to sing in front of people because I didn't like criticism, but now singing for audiences just comes naturally to me and over the years it has developed into a passion. To be able to sing in front of people... 1. Overcome your fear of being judged. Remind yourself that you're singing because it's what you love to do, not necessarily because you're trying to impress the audience. 2. Don't try to imitate someone else. Be yourself! An audience LOVES originality, which will keep them interested in you, but an imitation will bore them and always keep you at second best. 3. Have confidence in yourself and in your voice. It's not easy to cover up nerves and - trust me - an audience will know right away if the nerves are there. 4. If you want to become a singer, then do it! Don't let anyone get in your way, but remember to always learn from your mistakes, trust compliments, and use criticism to your best advantage. And lastly, NEVER doubt yourself and your abilities. I wish you the best! :)
I can't sing in front of my parents, HELP! :'(?
I've wanted to be a singer ever since I can remember, but, I've always been shy. I don't know what to do, I've been asking for singing lessons since I was four but I still haven't got them and I'm thirteen now. I can sometimes sing in front of my friends, but not all the time. I've been in the choir but it wasn't going very well. I keep saying to my mum and dad that I really want lessons and they keep saying; 'We will see soon.' But they never do. I said to my mum today 'why can't I be like this girl she is only eleven and she is so confident and amazing at singing.' (I was watching Maddi Jane on youtube http://www.youtube.com/maddijanemusic) My mum said 'You've got to stop dreaming about it' and I said 'So I wont be a singer then?' and she said 'Well you can't even sing in front of me and your dad, if you can't do that, how can you sing in front of a whole crowd?' I said 'That's why I want singing lessons, I know it will give me some confidence because I will be singing in front of someone.' My mum said 'I don't think singing lessons will work out the way you think they will. They will only improve your voice, not give you confidence.' So after that it made me sad, because its been my dream for years. I've been trying to have the confidence to put up a video on YouTube. I have once before, but I deleted it after about 10 minutes, because I was scared in case I sounded horrible. I have also auditioned for a school play in primary school, with two of my friends, we were singing, but I only got one line in the play, but I would usually get none, because they knew I was shy. Please help me, I have no idea how to get the confidence. :(
How do I tell my friend she can't sing?
My friends and I want to audition for X Factor in the spring, there's 3 of us. Four actually but one of the other girls can't sing. She's tone deaf or something and when we try to sing together as a group she makes it sound off and we're all in harmony with each other and she's singing fifty octaves higher. We recorded just the three of us that can sing and let her listen but she didn't seem to get the message. She records herself all the time but doesn't hear anything wrong with her voice. She fishes for compliments and even says, "I sound bad, right?" for us to say, "No you sound great!" but we don't say anything. This has nothing to do with jealousy, we just honestly care about her and don't want her to embarrass herself or us! This is something we all want to take seriously and want to move forward with and we don't want this to be ruined all because of her. We would teach her but that really would take a lot of time that we don't have. HELP! How can we tell her she can't be apart of the group without being mean or anything because we're scared since she's our good friend? PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ANY RUDE ANSWERS YOU'RE JUST WASTING YOUR TIME.
I have a friend and she sings very well. How can I help her to be produced?
Get her music recorded and out in every way possible. Oh.. and say lots of prayers. Right place, right time, and incredible talent and looks help too. Best of luck!
My friend thinks she can sing?
Just tell her the truth. Not in a blunt, offensive way, of course. Do it in a constructive, advising way that helps her understand that she can improve her singing by vocal training if she really wants to be a singer.
My girlfriend thinks she can sing but can't, what should I do?
Coming from a girl I know that my boyfriend is honest but also kind and sweet…if there is something like I don't look good in a shirt or something then he'll tell me but in a way that makes me laugh so I don't get upset. Hope this helps…only coming from one girls perspective
How can i convince my friend to sing with me? ?
I think that you should use your camera to video tape you and your friend singing together. When your singing with her, sing softly so that her voice is mainly heard. Then, once your done singing the song, you can see what you look like AND hear what you sound like. She'll most likely think she sounds much better after hearing it and seeing it. Also, you can have a talk with her. Tell her what you just told all of us on here! That you really need her to sing, regardless of how she sounds, cuz her grade and yours depends on it. Let her no that you believe in her, and that it doesnt matter what other people think. If you think shes great, then let her know. She needs that confidence. Hope this helps! Good luck! I have faith in you and your friend! -Courtney
My friend can't sing melody when I harmonize?
My friend and me are both into music, except the thing is when we're singing and I'll start to harmonize, she can't sing melody and starts singing random notes or goes really out of tune. The same thing happens when she tries to sing harmony and I'll sing melody, her pitch will completely change. She knows she can't do it and shes always super embarrassed. Does anyone have any tips on how I could help her with this? Or is it something that can never be changed?
How can I tell a friend she can't sing without hurting her feelings?
You cannot. Heck, we ourselves will still most likely get offended when there are people around us who do not enjoy our guitar playing or singing no matter how much experience we have in dealing with criticism, so what makes us think that we can tell someone he or she cannot sing without hurting him or her?Tell her specifically where to improve with kindness. If she is constantly off-key and out of tune, tell her that her notes are incorrect and give her the correct ones so that she can work on it. Be very honest about it (do not sugarcoat your words with things such as, “Your voice is nice, but….”) so that she knows her actual position, but be compassionate and do not just merely criticise her without giving her any useful input. Telling her that she cannot sing without pinpointing where she goes wrong and what to improve is simply not going to help (which is why many people see Simon Cowell as an asshole, as much as he is right about many of the rejected contestants not able to sing a single note in tune). Instead of preventing other people from pursuing their dreams, help them in getting closer to where they want to be - I am sure they would appreciate it.
My cousin can't sing please help?
So my cousin wants to be a singer. But she isn't good, I feel really bad saying this but it just doesn't sound good at all, and recently she started posting videos of her singing on Instagram and YouTube. People come up to me at school asking if she's joking because she's so bad. I am very close with her and I talk to her about alot but this is different because she thinks she's amazing and she really puts her heart into it but i don't want people to make fun of her. She wouldn't listen to me even if i could tell her, so what do i do? Is it even my place to say anything? I just feel bad :[ thanks.
