be able to sing in front of people

I have to be able to do this for my exams. I sang four songs in front of an examiner for third year and I was so nervous and ended up only getting a C for my music exam. I know I was able to do better because my teacher told me I had a good strong voice and class mated were always full of praise. Now Im in 5th and have started to sing in front of class mates again but my confidence is complelty blown and I hate this. By next year I need to be able to sing in front of the examiner again. I dont want to regret it this time…help

I didn’t, and probably still don’t know how to go about reaching this goal. I have no problem with singing at karaoke or things like that, but then that’s not really singing PROPERLY, more just larking about having a laugh.

You know when you watch the Idol (American or otherwise) auditions and there are those people who sing so badly, and yet they are so sure that they’re good enough. I’m scared that that’s me, in a way. I know that I’m not a great singer, but I like to think I’m not too bad.

Maybe that’s what scares me about singing in front of people. If I did it, then I’d probably find out the truth, which is that I can’t sing at all …

I’m toying with the idea of putting a video on youtube. But this scares me as well. So I’ll have a think about it some more.

It still gives me the willies, but it’s fun. ^{^ I love to sing and sometimes I just start singing. Like the time I was walking to the store and I was singing “Breaking the Habit” while I was walking down the street.}

Sure, it’s scary. But who cares if you sound bad or if you sound good? Unless you start tap dancing in the middle of the street most people will give you a glance and move on.

Life is too short to care about what people think of your singing abilities. ^

i wonder how i would sound…
while singing it sounds good to me…
but i will have to try recording myself, maybe with my cell phone… don’t have anything else… so yeah
really hear how i sound… oh boy.

i sing a lot… when i’m alone…
also, i sing mainly foreign music, of singers from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Thaiwan…
sooo… i’m sure it could be funny sounding…
but when i’m in front of people, i sometimes hum, and i may get a comment, “oh, that sounded nice”... but i’ve never really been able to open my mouth and really let it out… even if i’m just studying at my computer and someone else is in the room, like my boyfriend….
so i’m hoping i will find some tips about how to get over this fear… yeah!
