Here's the deal: I love singing. I've been singing since 4th grade and I've been in choirs since 5th. I haven't taken voice lessons.

Now, I want to sing a song for a talent show, but my only problem is... MY VOICE IS HORRIBLE. I have experience, but it's just the way it SOUNDS, do you know what I mean?

I recorded my voice on my cell phone, and I got so depressed at the way it sounds.

What can I do? Will singing lessons help at all? Thanks!

Everyone has pretty much already covered the cellphone topic. And of course taking lessons can help you improve in almost any area; but what no one's mentioned is that your voice is probably pretty awesome just the way it is.

Sure an operatic voice is sweet and pretty, but how interesting is that? Some of the most influential vocalists of all time haven't been "good singers". Just look at Bob Dylan. He has a nasly scratchy, quite arguably horrible singing voice and yet no one's begging him to quit singing.

Having a distinctive voice is what sets people apart. It's what makes people remember you. It's what makes rock stars out of average joes...and I should know, since I'm a rock star.

Hey..
I have this school assignment where I have to find a song that represents who I am..I am cheery smiley happy..positive attitude..what about More To Life..? Also does anyone know of any good songs to download? Thanks!!

Are you a christian per chance? If so a band named Bleach has an awesome song, supergood feeling. It's about having a positive outlook on life because you know Jesus.

There's also a great song by a pop punk band Relient K. It's called Everything Will Be, and it's also about a cheery sunshiny way of looking at life.

You can find those lyrics:

i was wondering if anyone knows if u can have multiple songs for an xanga site like more then one song please help thanks and if u can please tell me how

You most certainly can have more than one. I actually like the code a lot better than one looping song because this way visitors to your site can
1. choose if they want to hear music
2. choose which song they want to hear.

You can steal the script from my page. ( I assume you have some understanding of html.) Simply go to www.xanga.com/operationsavestheday
Then click on view and source at the top of explorer. Find the music code (and any others you want) and copy and paste them.
Just replace my songs with the ones you want. Or even keep my songs...they are darn good ones if I do say so myself.
