Singing
I've been trying to be a good singer lately. I went for lessons but they did absolutely nothing. I've been singing everyday after school for the past 3-4 years. It's the only time I can because I get embarassed. We had a school musical and when I had to sing to tryout, I choked. But before that, I sang for this girl that wanted to hear me and we both agreed I did good. So bottom line: How can I become a better singer and get over being afraid.

Well, to become a better singer...sing as much as you can. Sing along to the radio or CD's. Sing in the shower. Sing in front of close friends. If your school has a choir, join it! Maybe you can try lessonsagain, at a different place. Really focus on breathing techniques, lifting your soft palette, etc. (I've been taking lessons for a while and have learned so much...), and learn to support your voice.
As for stage fright...the only way to get over your fear is to face it. Start with singing in front of one close friend...then maybe a group of your friends. Don't put a spotlight on yourself at first - have a party and sing karaoke, or something. Have a good time with it. Then, maybe go to your choir teacher or someone of the like, and ask her if you can sing and ask for tips and stuff. Then, try out for another musical. Take a deep breath, and focus on the things you learn in lessons. And always have fun, cause everything's better when you're having fun!

just dont look .. start by singing infront of 2 people .. then move up some..then sing infront of a crowed! .. but when you are singing look out to the people but like think of something else. your friends.. your family.. or a loved one.
best of luck!

okay well i am a singer. well i enjoy singing and it is my "talent" i have also taken singing lessons for 5 years. (since i was 9 and i am now 13) i have went to 3 different places. but i didn't really like any of them. but they help with confidence. I dont know where you live.. but if you have ever heard of the studio R.A.P.A. that is a good singing place. it is also dancing, but you get assigned a teacher and u practice music and singing and you get to be in recitals too. so its like the whole deal. but theres nothing to be scared about when singing if front of an audience. i was in 3 recitals, 2 talent shows, a musical.. all county, solo fest and i had a solo in chorus. so i am used to it. but just do it. i mean what is the worst that can happen really? just sing, they will like it, and i know from previous experience that if you forget a word it is not that big of a deal. i forgot words twice and i mean the show still went on, the crowd is not going to burst in laughter or boo you off the stage. i promise. IM me if you want to talk babiixcorutx3 -- hope i helped <33

Also, try to get over your fears because everyone thinks you're really good, right?--There's nothing to be afraid of! Just relax, take a deep breath, and sing your heart out!

Relax. and for you to be able to sing in front of people without choking start off small. like sing in front of a small gorup of people and then when you get comfortable add more people to the crowd and as you get more comfortable singing you wont have to worry about choking anymore.
i used to be just like you but i learned to relax and now i can sing anytime anywhere now i love to sing in front of people.
hope i helped good luck.:)

Well, I only sing in the shower (Im a terrible singer! lol) But, Ive learned over the years that fear can really hold you back. Im a model but the first time I got a job for a Macys catalog you should have seen me-I was SO nervous! So, I quit because my Mom did the whole reverse psychology thing but it back-fired. A month later, the catalog came out and this other girl was on the cover! How would you feel if you get passed by someone who might not even be as good as you but they're confident. Sometimes you just have to go for it! Plus, if you know your good there should be nothing holding you back. So, about the whole fear thing, try not to think about it too much. Dont think that the people in the audience whether its 3 people or 3000 people are judging you because theyre not! Just try to do the best that you possibly can. Everyone gets nervous so take a deep breath and pretend your just at home doing your own thing. Hope I helped hun! ♥ Ashlee

How long did you go for lessons? I've been taking them for almost 3 years now. At first I didn't realize how much my voice had improved, but then I really noticed that it did, so you shouldn't give up! It's okay that you choked, I get nervous too. I once screwed up for solo and ensamble once, but I still got a good rating. You should try listening to yourself on tape or in front of stuffed animals. I know it sounds stupid, but It has helped me. Also, drink plenty of water before singing and don't eat a lot because otherwise your voice could get screwed up when you sing around that time or whatever. Hope I helped you out. I'm a singer too and these tips help me out too.

Hey, I heard you shouldn't eat any dairy products. I hear that milk makes like flem (sp?) in your throat, so that will like block the diaphragm and your voice won't sound as good. Some people are just naturally born with the unfortunate loss of being able to sing well. Drink alot of water and eat healthy. And when you are singing in front of people, pretend like they aren't even there! That should make you less nervous. Good luck.

I was just like you. I've taken part in chorus for most of my life but I was never brave enough to take up doing a solo until recently.
What helped me was practicing in front of people as often as I could. It starts out uncomfortably but, once you've gotten used to it, you'll realize that it comes easier.
Start out with singing in front of one or two people, first. And then gradually go up from there and take it a day at a time. Don't rush yourself. Once you get over the initial discomfort and nervousness, it should come easily to you.
