omg i kinda know where youre coming from. I also want to become a singer, people tell me im really good and i know im not BAD either lol

well anyway, keep singing no matter what, if its your dream then you can make it happen. Get a vocal coach, get involved with anything singing, you should have done that talent show...

Now about your parents... Find a bunch of auditions and signups and make a list... Show them and talk with them about them all. They should understan that you really want to do this so i doubt they wont take you.

i hope this helped ! =] Rosaria

singingmyheartout,
I think that is really good that you think you are a good singer witch makes you more commited for your goal. I think that you should practice infront of them so they see how much you want to sing. I think that you should get more musicly involved at school. I really hope I helped and I hope you get your rents to let you! =) &hearts;Andie

ok...you have to show thme your committed! Practice at least an hour a day (when both your parents are around) and sing to the best of your abliliy!Then theyll see that you have potential. When an audition comes around, say mom, ive been working really hard and i would really like to do this. Then sing for them! ...i wanted an agent really bad becuase i love to sing and write songs. I wanted to get my songs out there. I had to show my parents that im really commited, so i got on the internet ...and now i go to a fine art school! That was proof to them that i was serious. ( ( but u don't have to go to that extreme ) ) I'm in the process of making my demo...and my dreams are coming true. It's all about commitment! Oh! do whatever your parents tell you to do, and make sure your grades are good so they have no reason to say no! Please let me no what happens! ( ( if you talk to me directly I could give you some information on how to get and agent and stuff! or nation wide auditions!! ))my screen name is aria luvs u 333!!!
hope i helped!

join the chior in your school/church, Spend your free time practicing at home to covince them that you are willing to devote the time it will take to make this happen.

Ask them what they think about getting you into voice lessons (I know you sound good, but they will also teach you how to care for your voice so you don't lose it after hours of singing, and help you discover and push your limits)

If you want to convince them, the most powerful tool you have is persistance.

Your parents know you best. If they wont let you sign up for anything its because they are trying to tell you nicely you suck at singing. So give up no one ever realizes their dreams.

Try asking your parents if you could take singing lessons...and if your school has anything like musicals or something go to see them AND try out for them. I love to sing too...

well, that was basicly the same w/ me..i hated my voice..but when i tried out for my all county chorus..i made it..and alot of people said i did realllllllllly good, what you might wanna do is possibly is convince a friend to sign up with you..and so u wont be "alone" and they will probly feel more comfertable if you are with someone. just try and talk to your parents again..and maybe even sing for them..then they can see how good you really are..hope that helped!

hey im a singer too and i think you should try to convince your parents that you are good enough to make it and if they say no tell them if they really wanted you to fallow your dreams and if they really loved you they would let you sign up the guilt trip always works for me lol but i hoped i helped please rate

Moop answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 4:34 pm:
Let's put things this way, in the average high school 1 out of 5 girls can sing well (boys are a different story, it's much much less). If every girl attempts to be a singer or study vocal music in college, millions of girls in the US would be fighting for hundreds of positions. It's almost like sports. This is not to say that some don't make it, but it's very very very hard. Get a side life and a side passion to study. If you pursue vocal music with all your talent and get ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE you'll have something to fall back on. My advice for pursuing? First, get into high school chorus. Secondly, if you had to "hang with your friends" or something of that nature on the date of the talent show, give up now because you apparently have higher priorities above singing. Thirdly, sing. Right now. If you're not singing then you're not going to be singing when someone really asks you to sing. If you immediately thought, "oh gosh, I don't know what to sing..." then don't pursue vocal music. Do something else. Finally, from my choir director, "A good singer sings, a great singer can sing at the drop of a hat." (and also, conceited is spelled conceited, not concided. Think about saying "concided" for a moment.)

ahem: a note, perhaps you should have signed up for english instead of "peer counceling."

well, sit them down and explain to them that you already had plans for that date. then offer to sing somewhere like kareoke at a restraunt instead. your parents just dont want you to get hurt. so maybe if you explain to them how important this is to you and then you tell them that if you dont become this soon then it will be their fault and then when u get older and your rich you wont give them any money maybe they will let you!! i know i know sounds stupid but hey anything is worth a shot right?!
thanx for listening,
not so confused
please rate

I know exactly how you feel. im in somewhat of the same situation. i already tried voice lessons and the teacher quit so i had to stop. Tell your parents that you want this really bad and tell them why. If that fails then kick and scream with all your might (unless that will get you in trouble)

well if they already say that you should sing in a talent show they should let you sign up. Im sure you will do very good. singing is a talent that not many people have and its good to go out there and show people your voice.
