How to learn to sing
It made me
Ecstatic, freeing!
 "I created a safe space for learning, booked a private lesson, took an improv voice course, sang along with CDs, and joined a community choir."
How I did it: In grade two I was told not to sing in the chorale recital ("...you just mouth the words"). Somehow I took that to mean I was unable to sing. Then as an adult I decided to challenge the myth.
I now feel confident to sing (among other things) happy birthday and the national anthem with full gusto! :) Lessons & tips: If you want to start in the privacy of your own closet :)
Resources: These were my inspiration

How I did it: It's been a year and a half since I started taking lesson on September 2007. Gosh. Time just fly by. I am still working on this.

Been watching a few videos today about how to eliminate the nasaley-noise when singing, which is what my problem is. It makes sense, so I’m going to practise tomorrow when everyone is out.
I think it’s just a matter of building up my confidence.

I don’t know if this is even an achievable goal for me.
Let’s hope my voice can actually be trained to sound okay!

It's discouraging
3 weeks ago
I try to sing along with some youtube-vids while recording myself. Listening to that is really horrible! It feels so bad, to recognize how bad I sing. And while singing I don’t really notice that.
Don’t know how to get better.
Guitar playing
4 weeks ago
Although I don’t think my singing is all that bad, a lot of work needs to be done, and I don’t have much range. I want to be able to accompany my guitar playing with in-tune singing that will dazzle.

Where to start...
4 weeks ago
I want to learn to sing… I’m sure I could have a good singing voice. I mean both my parents sang professionally at one point in their lives. I want to sing!
But where do I start. I can’t even control the pitch of my voice. I have a good enough ear to know I’m not singing the right notes… but how can I fix that?
The first white flag

I started to get the feeling this one might get mothballed a while back. And sadly it has.
It’s not a real defeat though – I faced a (silly) fear and that was the point.
Starting out
3 months ago
I would really like to be able to sing, as I have never had much confidence in my own voice and want to turn that around. When I was with my ex-girlfriend I was always sorry that I never learned, as it was very important to her. I think now I’m beginning to see how happy it can make you to sing with someone you care about so; lessons!
Have called a teacher and am waiting to hear back.

Morning Song asks,
“It's been ten months since I started taking lessons. The initial excitement is gone and every little improvement takes a lot more effort than it did in the beginning. It's easy to quit now. How do I motivate myself to keep going?”

“Perhaps a bit O/T, but does anyone have recommendations for recording/mixing software for the PC? I'm hoping eventually to record tracks of myself to pass around to friends, and I'd like the track quality to be decent (hopefully my voice will be too...)”
