Well, I am not that great of a singer, But I taped myself singing on my cell-phone today and I dont sound bad. The only problem is I can only sing really werid songs, And I sing to soft its almost to the point you can barely hear me. Is it possible to train your voice to get louder? Any tips? (link)
|
maybe you're young and going through a phase where your voice sounds breathy (it's because the vocal folds don't quite come together).
you need to take voice lessons to learn proper breath support for singing. that is what will make your voice audible.
but if you don't want to take voice lessons- the main thing is keeping your shoulders still when you breathe in, and breathe so your stomach goes out instead of your shoulders going up.
but there's a lot more to it.
hope i helped.

16/F My whole life consists of singing. It's all I ever want to do. My problem is: in public...I can't sing along to a song unless I'm asked to and everyone puts their full attention on me. I like to sing Country, Rock and R&B mainly. What's stopping me, is that I always make songs my own and can't always blend with the artist. How do I overcome this? Overall, I'd say I'm pretty comfortable with my voice. I just don't want to make it seem like I'm a show-off, but I need people to know I'm into singing because I want to share what makes me happy with those surrounding me. Thank you! (link)

IT'S GOOD THAT YOU MAKE IT YOUR OWN! It just shows you're original! I'm a vocalist too, and my focus is broadway. i don't know about you though, you might be a pop singer or something.
don't try to make yourself blend with the artist. it causes you to sing nasally and that sounds bad.
and i would suggest taking voice lessons even if you're one of those singers who is like "i've never had a lesson in my life"
you might think it will mess up your voice or change it a lot, but voice lessons can only do one thing- improve your voice/technique. but that's if you're serious about singing.
good luck!

Okay so my state (TN) has decided to mandate that every student K-12 get 90 minutes of excersize a week. Well they are using our homeroom time at my school to do just that. I think it is incredibly stupid because its not the school's responsibility to tell us what to do as far as excersizing goes. It is so damn retarded I can hardly stand it. I HATE coming to school now. OMG as if it wasnt bad enough LETS THROW IN SOME EXCERSIZE!!! Plus my homeroom teacher is strict with the rules, so if we dont do these excersizes every morning, she will write us up. I dont feel like I can talk to her because she wont understand. And I cant sit there and object while everyone else is doing it because that will draw negative attention to me. I get enough attention as it is for being fat. And thats not the reason I dont want to do the excersizes. It's just that 15 minutes is a long time for someone who is as heavy as I am and its embarassing to have my fat jiggle around for the whole freaking class to watch and laugh at. I would much prefer to excersize in PRIVACY where I dont have to worry about what I look like. High school is bad enough as it is. I think this is pure torture and I really want to refuse to do it. But I dont want to bring negative attention to myself. WHAT SHOULD I DO???? and what is your opinion on our new state law?? (link)

well if I were you i'd talk to your parents and convince them to let you become homeschooled. Maybe there's what's called a "homeschool academy" in your area. Those are places where legally "homeschooled" kids can take classes, the same way you would take college classes. Kind of hard to explain.
or you could just do traditional homeschooling.
most of my friends are homeschooled and some of them are the smartest people I know, but some of them are idiots.
if you can do homeschooling correctly, then it can be just as/even more effective than a regular public school education.
i'm all for the law, but I do think that it's somewhat unfair to students who have circumstances that would make them unable to exercise easily. I think that it should allow other options, such as being involved in a sport outside of school.
i hope this works out for you. (no pun intended lol)

15/f Ok, I'm one of those girls that has only guy friends and maybe one or two girl friends... well one of the guys that I'm closer too came up to me during summer and i'll just cut to the cheesy romantics and say "i recieved the butterfly in stomach effect" I knew he was a good looking guy but -cue the teen drama- now he just looks different in a VERY good way. How can I make things 'not awkward' when school starts and not make a complete moron out of myself?
signed (or typed in this case),
Annoyed little tomboy (link)
|
just talk to him if you feel like it and don't be like staring at him 24/7 (that will freak him out)
it's good that you're noticing this guy. it shows you're normal. and you're human.
be normal around him don't act any different around him than you would around a friend. that's how he wants to be treated.
and if there's any opportunity where he needs help w/ something like if he didn't get the hw for a class then that would be a good chance to get him to notice you.

you answered a question before about loosing 20lbs.
how fast did you loose it? and did you actually look slimmer too? or was it just water weight?
i really want to loose this weight fast. but i don't want to look the same as before.. (link)
|
I lost it by counting calories and working out more than i usually do.
yeah i looked a LOT slimmer, it's impossible to lose 20 pounds of pure water weight (or i'm pretty sure of that)...
so ya.
|
u said "I can't without a though. actually gets me hornier than fingering."
Whats i cant without a though mean? (link)
|
oops i think advicenators like bleeped out the word "V-i-b-r-a-t-o-r" and
if it bleeps that out then vvvvvvvvviiiiiiiiibbbbbrrrrrrrrraaaaatttttttooorrrrrrrrr....
|
|
When you finger a girl can you just rub it like on the outside where the clit is and they orgasm or do you have to actually finger them? (link)
|
well I like having my stroked/teased with fingers... but it really helps me to have 1-2 fingers put inside my as well.
I can't without a though. actually gets me hornier than fingering.
but that's just me.
i'm sure there are other s like me.
hope i helped.

i'm not sure if any other cities [or towns, as the one i'm in] do this, but every friday night at midnight at a local cinema, a theater company puts on the rocky horror picture show. one of my best friends goes almost every week, and this friday we're going. it's always themed, and everyone always dressed really provocativel/slutty. but other than that, i don't really know what it is. is it an actual show, like a play production, or is it a movie [although i know its based on the movies], or what. if anyone has any idea, that would be helpful (: (link)
|
It could either be the stage production or the movie... The movie is about a transvestite alien who does all this weird stuff to people and like creates people...
It's a good movie though. I love it.
It was an old tradition for people to go and see the movie like all the time and they'd dress up as characters from the movie and they had a lot of other rituals that they'd do...
have fun

I want to be an actress but the problem is I cant sing. I'm not so sure what to do. And usually to act you also need a little singing skill. Any advice? Also I'm not aloud to take singing lessons I already take ot many dance classes. Any acting tips also? thanks!!!!!=] (link)
|
It depends on what kind of acting you're planning on going into.
For film/tv acting you usually don't need any talent- just a pretty face and you have to be able to read! (no offense or anything)
for acting in straight plays (not musicals) there really is not any singing skill needed, you just have to be a good actress.
but for musicals on the other hand, you do need a heck of a lot of singing skill.
so the first two types of acting would be fine for you as long as you can act!
:)
|
My town(and school) has a play/musical every year and i was in one school musical. i am 14. I want to be in the towns musical but i am really shy and can't like sing infront of people(adition involes this)....I ask for a 'non-singing' part but then i get a part with little to no words or spoken parts. I am not sure what i can do to boost my cofidence!!!!
Help!!! (link)

If you want to audition, then DO IT. Overcome your fear. Don't let it stop you from doing what you want.
This is all you need to know before an audition.
1. KNOW YOUR SONG. backwards and forwards.
2. smile and look pleasant and not nervous when you go up to sing for the artistic team.
3. PROJECT YOUR VOICE! Sing loudly.
4. Assure yourself that you can do it.
i hope i helped.
just go to the audition! After you do it you'll be like "oh i wonder why i was ever so afraid..."
it'll seem like nothing after it's over- believe me i've been to more auditions than i can remember... so i'm not lying to you haha.

SO i'm in a play in this little theater. It's snow white and i'm the evil witch. Also i'm 13. My mom said something to me yesterday that got me thinking. She said "you never know if talent scouts are watching you , i hear the come to little places like that, so try your best". So I started wondering, what is that "thing" or "things" that make a talent scout go up to someone and tell them they have the potential to be professional? It can't just be that you are a good actress/ actor cause alot of kids I seen are and no talent scout contacted them. So what is it? If you aren't involved in acting can you please not answer this? Thanks. (link)
|
there isn't really one specific "thing" that talent scouts look for... (by the way the chances of a talent scout coming to a small community theater are very VERY slim, like next to nothing- chances are your mom just said that to make you try really hard)
the two other answers were correct, but to be a stage actress these are the things you need:
1. You must be very, very well-spoken. (don't slur your speech, project, and annunciate)
2. A lot of initiative, drive, and focus.
3. you must be able to handle a TON of rejection.
4. you have to have passion. you must be so passionate about theater that the question "should i be an actor?" is not even in your mind.
so don't expect that a talent scout is coming to your performance... I mean just don't get your hopes up. But it's fine to keep that idea in the back of your mind.
i hope i helped.
i've been very involved in theater for a long time, so feel free to ask me anything else. :)

ok so my boyfriend is 17, weve been together a little over a year. and like were promised to each other and the whole nine yards. well, usually hes the type to call me 5 times a day everyday. this wknd i barely heard from him at all. i havent seen him in a week either. we were supposed to hang saturday but he left me a msg sayin nvm that hes goin to his brothers to spend the night. but it turns out he didnt go. well he went sunday instead. and came back and was tellin me a lil about it. so it was him, his bro & his gf, and this other girl whos my age [16]. so they all hung out and whatever and they were watchin a movie and my bf was layin in the floor and this girl was on the couch but then she got down to lay in the floor w/ him till she went to bed. well last week i invited him to go to the beach with me next wednesday - saturday although i told him its not a SURE thing but a probably. well today he says hes goin to florida like next sunday-tuesday, because his bro & his gf are takin this other girl back home soo hes goin too and i guess theyre stayin at her house for three days? and he cant go w/ me because thats too many days off work. so i was on his myspace and see they were talkin and hes sayin how it sucks sooo bad that she has to leave but hes glad he gets to go with them to take her back [this was today, but before he told me hes was goin with them] and askin when she'll get to come back and stuff. and shes all in aggreement and everything. and just GRR. so im the jealous type which he knows but i try sooo hard not to let it show as i dont want to cause probs and end up breakin up and stuff. i guess im thinkin the worst in this case but i mean do i have a right to be upset here? bc i guess he noticed the tone in my voice that i got kinda upset when he said hes goin with them instead of me so hes all "dont be mad at me" and blah blah blah. ive already had a rlly hard wknd which he is aware of so this was just icing on the cake. i mean, idk, i just need some input.... (link)
|
I'd be really upset too if I were you. But I'm not sure that him and his brother's gf are like hitting on eachother or anything. They could just be becoming friends because i mean- it's not like she's single or anything... It seems like he's trying to become her friend because she's his brother's gf. But the opposite could be true... he could like her.
as i was reading this i couldn't help thinking "it's going to end soon... they'll break up." and well, if this boy means that much to you that you don't want to break up then don't- maybe wait and see if this phase passes?
but if you're mad enough at him then go ahead and do it but maybe before you do that you could ask him what's been up with him lately...
but he seems like an asshole for doing that to you.
i hope i helped.

I used a super absorbancy tampon and kept it in for about 6-7 hours and it started leaking a lot. When I tried to take it out, it hurt very badly!! But when I use a regular absorbancy tampon, it leaks after about 2 hours, but doesn't hurt to take out. What gives? (link)
|
well the regular absorbancy one probably has a significantly smaller circumference, so that would excplain why it hurts less to take it out.
But maybe you're not using the right angle when you're taking them out. Make sure you pull the string from the same angle that you used to put it in.
6-7 hours might be a little bit too long to keep one in. I'd change it after about 2-4 hours. But that's just me.
make sure you're relaxing your vagina when you're removing it.

how can i lose my last five pounds??? any ideas??? ive already lost 10 (link)

don't eat after 6, and have about 1200 cals per day and exercise way more than you usually do. that should make it come off.
drink way more water too.

13/f.Recently, I've been classified as a prep. Nothing else just a prep.And to tell you the truth, I don't like it. I like to watch Anime, I love flippy hair, I don't know. That's not prep at all. I tried talking to my friend's about it, and they think it's a sign of becoming emo. And I have absolutly no problem with that, but I'm afraid it might change my relationship's with alot of people. But then I suppose they're not your true friends, correct? Also, this has become to be a bit of a problem because since they guy I like is in fact emo, my friend's think that he's changing me. But it's not him changing me. I'm changing myself. I'm not doing it on purpose, my tastes are just changing. My 8th grade school year is more than likely going to turn out a peice of crap because I'm too busy trying to find my self in the middle of school work, boys, friends, and my family.
Is there any advice you have that might solve my problem? I'm so stuck and I've been crying alot lately because I'm so worried. Is something wrong with me or what?
Anything's greatly appreciated, seriously.
Thank you so much in advanceā„ (link)

Don't worry- everything will be okay. I lived through my 8th grade year, regardless of how hard/awful it was. Who knows? For you it could be the best year of your life! And then after that you're DONE with middle school! It's the hardest thing you'll ever go through but belive me it's worth it not committing sucide (which i was very close to doing in 8th grade year) once you get to highschool!
Don't worry about your friends lableing you. They're not your true friends if they are doing that anyway. But if anyone hassles you about it just say "well i'm really not prep. I'm not really anything i guess" and then sort of laugh it off. Don't let it upset you.
But if this ends up changing your relationships with people (which it probably won't) then it's probably for the better!
There's nothing wrong with crying a lot. I went through a phase like that when i was 13. It's all because of hormones. Once i was about 14 1/2 i cried a lot less.
feel free to ask me anything else you want to.

everyone says there is a such thing as precum , how do you know the difference in precum &nd cum ? (link)
|
precum is like little droplets of semen that come out of the penis when it is hard, but it's not a full ejaculation.
it's just a smaller amount of semen.

can you masturbate with your clothes on? & if so, how? & if you don't have a vibrator could you use like a cell phone and put it on vibrate (sorry if that's a stupid question.) i'm kinda new to this, but i'd like to learn how. also, are there any ways that you find to work best? thanks =] (link)
|
yeah, there are several ways to masturbate with your clothes on. You can "ride the seam" which is done sitting down. If you can somehow maneuver the seam of your pants to your clit, then you sort of ride on it by gyrating your hips against the chair sort of. You can even do that 1 in public.
I like to use a sonicare toothbrush with plastic wrap over the brush head (so i won't get discharge in the brush) and I put the flat end on my clit. It's sooooooo intense and amazing. I also put a venus vibrance razor into my vagina. I do both of these at the same time and it makes me orgasm every time.
You can also put your cell on vibrate. I've done it before as a last resort but it wasn't very good because it only stays on vibrate for like 2 seconds and you have to keep putting it back on. (at least that's how it is on my phone)
I hope i helped
oh btw if you don't want to get addicted to it then don't do it at all (sometimes i wish i had never started masturbating because if i ever cannot masturbate b/c I have to spend a number of nights somewhere around other people It's unbearable to be horny as hell with nothing to do about it.)
i'm sosoosososo addicted that the idea of not being able to do it for 24 hours literally scares me.

So one of my best friends, who I met freshman year, she was really shy and quiet, and got nervous really easily, just got her first boyfriend, we will be juniors next year. So I've had time to get ot know her and she's great.
Except the guy that asked her out, she showed no interest in at first, but its like since he asked her out and there 'dating' she's a whole different person. I dont think she's used to the attention, she blows me off now to hang out with him, sure he;s really nice. Except I dont think she knows how to deal with it all.
She flirts with other guys, and it pisses me off. Because I went to the pool with her, and she started flirting with this guy and totally just blew me off, I told her I was leaving, and then she "understood" what she did and talked to me.
I've tried talking to her about it all, but she's spending too much time with him. And I dont want to be the friend that she runs too after everything fails, because I dont think I'll have any compassion left. (link)
|
She's probably just excited about this relationship/being able to hit on people and stuff. It's all new to her. And she's probably not intentionally blowing you off. Like how you mentioned she didn't realize that she blew you off that time at the pool.
But I hate people like that, i had a friend like that and i just stopped being her friend. I cussed her out during one of our fights and told her the truth of how i felt about her all along.
and she left me alone.
not saying u should cuss ur friend out or anything.

my thighs arent that skinny, but i would like them to be more bigger so when i wear jeens i feel moe comfortable ( o yeah my legs are long and thin so it looks awkaward to me) (link)
|
omfg belive me you don't want huge thighs!!!!!
i've had them my whole life, and it only got worse once i hit puberty!
oh my lord, i'd die to have long slender legs like you!
and fitting jeans/pants/shorts/anything is SO HARD FOR ME because everything is too small in the thighs!
so im just saying you should be thankful that you have the thighs you have.

in lyrical we did a turn/jump that i lovee, i just don't know what it's called. i'll try to explain it:
well you like do a chine(sp?) turn then do a leap and turn at the same time when your front leg is extended and your back leg is in an attitude.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=bClGjtq7P-Y
travis does it in the video at 21 seconds if that helps.
soo what's it called? (link)
|
that is a grande jete entournent (on-turn-ONT) with the back leg in attitude.
Exept the back leg being in an attitude might change things some... But i doubt it. But if it were not in an attitude it would just be a plain grande jete entournent.
lol i hope i helped.
