How to sing in public by kluvs2write

"Definitely a confidence builder"

How I did it: Kicked around the idea, and finally decided to sing with a friend in church.  We started simple and are moving to more complex pieces.  Also took a few lessons with a voice teacher to learn more about how to use this "instrument."  She is also making me more aware of my body image (how I stand, speak and project my voice) and how I present myself in general.  It is definitely good "therapy."

My friends helped me considerably!  In choir and mainly in our duets, I love the way our voices compliment each other.

Trying to put my nerves and those negative voices aside and let my true voice come out more.

Don't let anyone tell you that you cannot do this.
Everyone who has the desire in their heart should sing in public at least once.

Lessons & tips:

  • Try to conquer your nerves and believe in who God made you to be!
  • Know that you are doing something most people will never attempt
  • Be realistic in your goals and always reach out to others and ask for assistance
  • You do not have to sing alone unless you want to.
  • Try singing with someone you like and trust, you'll do far better!
  • Do it again and again, whenever you have the opportunity
  • Ask a variety of people for their opinion
  • Find support in many ways
  • Sing in church or a choir to start, or for good

frenziedmaenad is trying new things!

It took me
1 day
It made me
confident

How I did it: Just opened my mouth and let the sound come out. Walking, driving, waiting in line, etc. It really helps the time to pass more pleasantly.I was going to look for my wedding ring, which I had taken off two nights before and accidentally left on a bench in the park amphitheater. I had to walk across downtown at night to go look, and figured a song was all I needed to protect me while I walked through the shadows. I sang "Happy Phantom" and … Read how I did it…

How I did it: My sister and I were hanging out in Philly after a concert at the Troc. We were walking around Arch Street waiting to be picked up, and we just sat down by the arch and began singing songs from our favorite bands. We didn't care that people walked by, we just both sang beautifully together. It was uplifting and boosted by confidence. Read how I did it…

amused and silly

How I did it: I have a lot of family all over the states. One of my favorite cousins is this hilarious chick who doesn't care at all what others think. She also absolutely loves to sing. We went on a trip to the show and then, after the show we walked around downtown in this big city and just sang all the songs that we knew. We were out till like four in the morning and everyone we ran into thought we were insane, but it was sooo worth it. A few people… Read how I did it…

It made me

How I did it: I've done this a lot, especially when I was younger. It was really old for a time,a  motorcycle accident made me tone deaf, so I had to learn to match tones again. It was a long process, but worth it! Read how I did it…

Euphoric.

How I did it: My brother and a couple of my best friends are accomplished musician, with their own bands and so on. But they would always get together for some small concerts to celebrate their birthdays, playing only covers, just for the fun of it. And they invited me to sing a few songs with them (twice!). A week of rehearsals and there we'd go. And people (to my utter and complete astonishment) liked it! :DThe first time around I sang "Sultans … Read how I did it…

    Exhilirating! 1 week ago

    A karaoke bar counts, haha. It didn’t take as long for me to gather up the courage as I thought, and I can’t believe how much I got into it. The people seemed to enjoy it as well :)

    I sing at the bus stop all the time and while I’m walking around now as well. I’m not scared of people catching me singing anymore. In fact, I think people should sing and dance around ALL the time. The world would be a much better place.

    sofilee is trying to give a change to her life.

    Soon to be probabilities! 1 month ago

    Yesterday, I was practising the choreography and the song i’m going to dance and sing with all the girls and boys of my musical comedy learning institute. And when i was taking a little rest, the director took my hands and hook me up saying “okay, mrs. Haniggan, you have to stand in here” and i was shocked, cuz Mrs. Haniggan is one of the main characters of “Annie: the little orphan girl”, and best of all…SHE’S THE EVIL ONE!! she’s a resentmented, alcoholic and evil woman who hates with all her soul the little girls she MUST to care at the orphans institute. haha is a great character and is a little bit difficult, so i hope to make it a lot better!
    And the best part is that i think that I WILL SING IN PUBLIC!! :)
    a great song, besides… =)

    Antonia39 - is attempting to be very mindful...

    just ignore the jitters... 2 months ago

    I’ve been singing in the school-choir (kids’ school that is) for a while now, and i love it. But that’s hiding behind 12 others…

    To my own amazement i was asked to join the teachers in the play they did for Christmas, and really liked that, even when it included singing three solo’s… But as i was emotionally supported by about 8 other people, it didn’t feel like i was on my own. I would really like to stand there with just some musical accompaniment, and my voice doing the work…

    No idea how to get that done, maybe something will come up…

    I sing terribly…but I love singing!
    I always try NOT to sing, because I don’t want people telling me how awefull it sounds – I know it does.
    But I LOVE singing and it makes me happy, so I want to sing even with people around, not just when I’m by myself.

    Next year (: 4 months ago

    I have sang in front of family and some others who said I was a really good singer; (though tbh I don’t agree) I just love singing. So me and a friend of mine (who is an amazing singer in my opinion) plan to enter our school “Talent Show” if you like next year. We’re hoping to do something by Paramore (:
    I can’t wait; I just hope I don’t chicken out when it gets to auditioning for it and everything..
