bad at singing
I'm a girl and I'm horrible at singing.
I don't think I have that horrible a voice...at least not when singing quietly to myself, or singing simple (really simple) songs like the songs you sing in chorus class or whatever...
But whenever I try to sing loudly, or sing a pop/rock/any song that isn't quiet and extremely simplified kind of song, I SUCK. That's all there is to it.
First of all, I can't even get my voice to get loud. Whenever I hear any female singer (take Michelle Branch, for example), and try to sing one of their songs, I just can't. My voice doesn't go as loud/high as them- hell, I can't even match their pitch, or get the notes right...
I play piano...and not to show off or anything I'm not excellent but I'm moderately good at playing the piano.
Does all this mean that I'm totally tone-deaf? Or just have a sucky voice? Or unused to singing pop songs? Or WHAT? It's getting to be a big problem because whenever I goto the Karaoke bar w/ my friends (it's really big here)- all of them are GREAT at singing. Seriously. Maybe it's because they've been practicing singing loudly and stuff since they were in elementary school.l..but I dunno they're really good. And I'm the only one that sucks...my voice gets all weird and high pitched, then really low...and UGH! I can't stand it! My friends are nice so they don't say anything...but I can tell by the look on their faces that they are experiencing PAIN. (lol) I really want to fix this situation any way I can..how? Thanks
Please, don't be prejudiced against me because of certain bands/singers I mentioned. The issue here isn't really music, it's the VOICE. Argh. Help.
P.S. I'm not in a position to take voice lessons; I'm already taking too many classes/lessons etc, and my mom is against voice lessons because she knows it isn't going to be like a career or anything...it's just for fun.
THANK YOU!

well first of all, if it's just for fun, then you really shouldn't be worried about how you sound. some people are better at singing than others, and some just are naturally good. you just need to be comfortable with yourself, and have fun. you also have to pick the songs that are right for you. if you can't sing loud/high, pick songs that aren't loud or high. also, the point of kareokee isn't to be good. it's to have fun. so if it's just for fun, then just have fun with it, and don't worry about it. there really isn't much else i can say because since you can't take lessons, then the only thing you can do is practice in your house. i hope this helped, and just relax and have fun!!
