I love to sing, but I would like to learn to train my voice so that what is fun for me isn’t painful for those around me.

How to learn how to sing
It made me
Joyful
 "I went from hating the sound of my voice to singing all the time, including in front of other people."
How I did it: First, and most importantly, I learned to allow myself to make ugly sounds. It's okay to let ugly sounds come out! Secondly, I learned that singing isn't just about the throat or the mouth-- it's about accessing the deepest part of your being, listening / tuning in to it, and lifting it out of yourself with your voice. I took one singing class at my local community college, and at the end of the class, each of us had to go to the front and sing a song of our choosing. It was so hard-- it was the first time I sang in front of other people! But I did great and it was so worth it.

happy!
How I did it: Ok, so this is one of those goals where it's not like you just learn to sing and then that's it, you're done... it's ongoing! I've been taking singing lessons for almost a year now and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I am improving very slowly and although I'm not amazing it makes me feel good and completely de-stresses me :) Read how I did it…

Have started taking vocal lessons....
6 months ago
I decided to finally move forward with this one. I have begun taking vocal lessons. It’s really a strange thing—to sing for someone else. Save for karaoke, I’ve only really sung for myself, by myself. So to have to sing in front of someone else is such a bizarre feeling. You feel vulnerable, really. I have a newfound respect for people who sing for a living, who perform. It really takes courage and confidence to sing out at full volume and not shy away from it when someone is listening to your every sour note and mistake.
That is one good thing about taking lessons, though—I am getting more comfortable with the idea of singing in front of my teacher.
Besides taking lessons, I am to practice at least 30 minutes every day. Like the Japanese lessons I’ve started taking, I’ve been slipping on this one over the holidays (not as far as attending the lessons, but as far as practicing at home), but prior to that I was doing okay.
It’s quite a challenge—I’ve never really thought of the voice as an instrument that can be improved. Trying to change the way you’ve sung all your life is hard. And you can’t really avoid sounding like you.
I love singing, and I so want to improve. It’s sometimes frustrating because, whatever improvements I can make, I’m sure it’s going to take a lot of deliberate practice. This isn’t the piano, a language, something external. I just wonder… how much can I improve?
If I do want to improve though, the only way is to practice consistently. So let’s see how I do with that!

I took singing lessons for two months over the summer (2008) but had to stop because of school. I still sing but not as much as I would like. I don’t practice in a very formal way, which I would like to do. I am auditioning for a voice class at my university and crossing my fingers that I can get in! If not, I’ll look into taking private lessons again.

But I was never that good. It would be nice to hone a skill that I already have.

Singing?!

I love to sing and I know I have it deep inside me somewhere only I just can’t bring it out. I sound like a goat in labor!
