just keep singing where you are, sing around more people that you dont know or someone you know who wouldnt lie to you. and just go for it. i sing and im shy to and i dont really blast my voice like i know i can. sing in church and sing everywhere you can and you will get over it soon enough. hope i helped.

Well once you do it for a while you start to loose you fear so just practice infront or people you know and don't know. That how you start.

You just gotta practice all you can and wing it. I'm like that with my poetry. I mean I know it's not the same as singing but it's still really hard to express your words to other people..especially a large crowd.

But I mean, one time I debated on going up and reading one of my poems at an open-mic night. Then I just did it. I got through with it finally (shaking and stuff but it wasnt too bad)..now I opened the door for if I want to do it again. Because now I KNOW I can do it. It kind of gave me a huge relasing feeling..

So you should really just go for it..and if you find out it's not your thing, then you can move on to other things you love, but I'm sure you'll do awesome.

Good Luck..

just try making every gig you do one step bigger until your ready for huge gigs. also, try getting a voice instructor, they will help you get more comfortable.

Just go to some place where a contracter/recorder will hear you and look at a place on a wall and pretend no one except your boyfriend or whoever you like to sing in front of is listening and sing your heart out. Good Luck.

Since you sing at small places such as in coffee houses, slowly and gradually make your way up and sing at bigger gigs but not so big that you will get nervous and be afraid to. If you do everything at a slow pace, you will overcome this fear but just don't let anyone force you to go out big.

Hunni i had the same problem when I was younger... like 13 lol. I was sooo scared that people would laugh at me because I didnt think I was good enough. What I suggest you do is buy a empty cassette (( like doesnt have anything recorded on it )) and put it into your stereo or boombox. Then put it on tape, click the record and play button at the same time, and sing the best you can. That could help you realize exactly how good you are, and could get you more confidence. And if you like it enough you could make copies and send them to record labels.

When you're performing, find a good pair of stylish sunglasses and wear them. That way its harder to see the peoples faces, but still looks like you're giving them eye contact.

In the end the more experience you have the easier it comes to you.

wow... i havent wrote so much in a long time. hope i helped hun, and never let go of your goals

Try auditioning for American Idol, American Juniors, or go to a karoke bar to see how other people respond to your abilities. Or try getting gigs in clubs and other large, crowded areas to help you work up from cofee house gigs.
