Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
That poor girl. Don't tell her directly that her voice is terrible. It would be cruel, and would really hurt her feelings. When the conversation rolls along to music and singing, suggest that she take voice lessons. The thing about voice lessons is that you don't have to be really really good or really really bad. If you tell her that, she won't know whether you think she's musically talented, or musically challenged. And most importantly, she'll learn to sing.

Dear Can't Sing,
This is defiantly a toughy cause i myself looooooovvvveee to sing and artists are very sensitive. Just go up calmy to your friend and let her down easy. Maybe just trick her into taking singing lessons! Go up to her and tell her," You know you sing kinda good but i bet you'd be great if you got a proffesional singing coach to help you out with hitting the higher keys and lower keys just right!" Then if you have time on the weekends take your friend and flip through the yellow pages on affordable singing coaches. So your friend will be happy that your helping her get to a next level and your happy that she's not embarresing herself!!!
much love and i hope it works,

The issue is not that she cannot sing. While that is clear her problem is she is tone deaf. She cannot hit as well as cannot hear music properly and does not know it. How can you help her? Mention to your parents about the audition and the fact everyone is laughing at her.
Mention that your friend thinks she is amazing but in reality has no singing, acting or other talent. Your folks might be able to speak to hers and have them talk to her. I would not try to point this out to her on your own. You would be liable to lose a friendship or if she is the hitting kind wind up socked. Talent and the lack of it is a sensitive issue to some.
Why is she is denial of all this much like American Idol contestants? She hears what she thinks is the perfect pitch and not the proper one. It cannot be fixed, she probably will never be able to sing and that is okay.
I think you should approach the teacher that put on the auditions. Mention how your friend thinks she is great etc, etc. and is tone deaf, cannot sing, act--thinks she's perfect etc. Let that teacher know your friend is the butt of jokes and you want it stopped.
Perhaps this teacher can tactfully take her aside, talk to her, and prove to her that she is tone deaf but has other useful talent that people will be looking for. Perhaps if she helps your friend discover a hidden talent nobody else has this will work. Be sure to request anonymity on this one. Good luck!

well you can record what she is singing and play it for her ask her if she likes how it sounds or you can just let her keep singing if its something she likes to do it matters on what you think she would like either to tell her or not tell her.
hope i helped!!

Just don't tell her, she will end up mad at you and angry. Tell her that she just wasn't right for the part in the musical or that directors like to pick more experienced or older students for the leads.

I have been in a similar predictament. Dont tell her she sucks,thats just plain mean. Just comfort her and tell her it doesnt matter, she'll live, there are better things in life, ect. And next time she trys out for something or sings in public, try to steer her away. If you hear something about solo tryouts before she does, immediately ask her to do something together that day, that time. So then she will be busy and wont be able to go. And if she sings in public, just say "hey, wanna get a drink" or something, and stop her.

You know, if you can't sing, you can't sing. Like me. I like to sing, but I am dreadful at it. You don't need to tell her anything about her singing unless she asks you. If she asks you if you think she is good, then you have the obligation to everything that can hear to say no. You don't have to be mean or rude, just tell her that in your taste, she isn't as good as a Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, or.....Kelly Clarkson. That is a duh, hardly anyone has those pipes. So until she asks that dreaded question, don't say anything, just make fun of her in your head. Ha! Kidding....if you are gonna do it, do it to her face.

HI,
There's no need to feel pity. i understand how you feel bad, cuz your friend isn't exactly a good singer. here's how your going to do it.: tell her she needs more practice.(say it in a nice way) tell her she isn't ready for a stage performance.in the end she will realize that she did need more practice. Soon enough she'll be thanking you because you were honest and you didn't want her to be humiliated in public. thanx 4 writing :)
