This coming sunday (The 19th) I'm supposed to sing a duet. The person I'm singing with isn't comfortable singing though her voice is reasonable. She feels immbarrised to stand up and sing in sacrament so we talked with the person that asked us and sister Naylor is going to have her daughter who as a matter of fact, a beautiful singer. I personaly don't want to have Lori sing with us because we will be zoned out for one, Anna and I are not the best singers. The most we can do is stay on pitch and I honestly have never sung in front of anyone because...Well I really don't have that beautiful singing voice that some have. And Two she hasn't practiced with us. (We have to sing with a Harp) So my question to all of you is what do I do? Should I just keep my mouth quiet and just sing with Lori and Anna and not say anything, Or should I share my oppinion with sis. Naylor? I would rather be heard without Lori taking control.

The more comfortable you are with the music, the more confident you can be with your performance. Everybody gets nervous. Just channel it to the good. Pray for confidence, and remember you are doing it to praise God. Your best is all you can give. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

I for one love to sing! an i sing all the time at church. You have to remeber that your singing...not for yourself...but for everyone else...you have picked a song to sing that you believe brings the spirit, so that everyone can be touched by the song. If u feel that this girl Lori, is somehow wanting the attention to be on her, rather than the saviour than you should nicely tell her " We have had this planned for a long time and i think it would be better if just the two of us sing with the harp, but i would love to sing with you some other time." that way she won't be offended, and you will still be able to sing as planned. Good luck! I'll keep you in my prayers! What ward are you in? I'd love to come here you! I hope I helped! [ arialuvsu333's advice column | Ask arialuvsu333 A Question ]
