Hi, I'm a young 50 year old father of three (two sons one 5 and one 21, and a daughter of 31) from Romford, England. I have a lot of experience of life from both the good and bad sides, the good side when I was singing in bands almost every night and my life was one long party, and the bad side having to admit I'm an alcoholic and doing a hard rehab/detox programme (sober for 10 years now) then having a heart attack and a broken marriage to deal with. I am now in a good place in my own mind and want to help others as much as I am able to.

I really like to act and the auditions for the school play are in december. I do a lot of acting outside of school. I have been acting ever since 1st grade. At the moment I am taking 2 theatre classes. But last year I didn't get into the school play. I was actually crying. I knew I could do it but I didn't. The problem is, I can't sing and the play is always a musical. When I act in front of people it's a peice of cake but when I sing I just can't do it. I really want to be in this play! Any advice? I'll rate a 5 if the advice is helpful. (link)

Remember not all actors can sing as well but even some of the ones that can't end up in musicals, check out Richard Harris in Camalot or Marlon Brando in Guys and Dolls.
Most people sing along to their favourite songs at home, what I would say is practice at home then just try to forget that your doing it on stage and give it a go. The other thing you could do is talk to the people that put the school play on and ask if it's possible to do a play that has a part you can play (not everyone in musicals has to sing) maybe even if it's only as a narrator or something, like in The Rocky Horror Show.
Good luck
