you have to ask yourself if you want to sing infront of people? and if it is worth over-coming your fear, and if so then great! dont just right then and somewhere take it slow, try singing to yourself first, in front of the mirror, and then take it up a step, and do it infront of a sister or brother, and if that doesn't work, then try it infront of your best friend, if you have a great singing voice then you have nothing to worry about, but the most important thing you have to do before even trying to sing period, is make sure that you have the confidence! and if you dont then you gotta work on your self confidence and then try singing! you can do it! hope i helped, ask me anytime!

Hey, just start of low singing like humming or something in front of them. Or, you can pretend like you are all alone. They probably sing too, so don't be shy!

I think that you should just sing.. and let everyone know that you have an awesome voice! I mean if you do everyone is going to be like WOW! Or you could start with just singing in the mirror... then sing in the car... then sing with everyone! Hope i helped!

I don't have this problem, but I think I might be able to help you. Just keep singing! If you have to sing in front of an audiance, just look at the wall or something where you WON'T get embarresed! Hope I've helped!

I'm a singer too, and I have the same problem. This works if you're making any kind of presentation like this: Always look at a wall behind a person's head. You still need to look around, so you don't look like like you're actually focusing on the wall, or the person. Just don't look into anyone's eyes, since that's how most people get nervous. And most of all, do NOT imagine the audience in their underwear (Seriously, I'm not joking. I've heard stories where people laughed right during their performance while they did that.) I hope I helped! Leave a question in my inbox if you have any more questions!

I have this problem too, but I'm kind of getting over it. You just need to practice until your comfortable enough to sing in front of others. I'm always singing whenever I have the chance, and now I'm a bit more confident even though I still get nervous when trying out for solos and such.

Good luck from one singer to another,

siozeegreat answered Thursday April 21 2005, 6:49 pm:
If you start taking lessons to really train your already great voice, you get really comfortable singing in front of your vocal coach, and then it's not so hard singing in front of others. Your vocal coach won't judge the way you sing, he's there to improve it, that's how you can feel comfortable around your coach, and then eventually you'll feel comfortable in front of 3594730687356903476 people.

Good luck!

basically when you get very comftorble with your slef and singing the shyness will naturally go away. So when ever your ready you'll know.

OMG, I know exactly what you mean. I am in chorus, and my teacher says i sing really well, but i am really shy so my voice comes out soft and squeaky. Just try to conquer your fear. There is really no other way to put it. You just have to relax, take a deep breath and say," hey, i am good at what i do and i enjoy it and if they don't like it , to hell with them!" :) Once you can conquer the fear, you should have no problem!
~oxkatekaylaxo

ps. After I got over my self-conciousness, I ended up getting a solo!
