My friend is REALLY shy..and she wants me to help her get over it..and i have an idea..I'll take her to walmart and we'll just kinda walk around while my mom shops for groceries and she likes to sing and has "stage fright" so i figured what better way to kinda bust her out of her shell by walking thru walmart singing. The reason i say this is because she is shy singing infront of people..even with one person she gets nervous..i was hoping to get a second opinion on this..would this be too hard on her? i figured i would have her sing for me a little bit then maybe for my parents (or go around the block singing) and then take her to walmart..i'm open to suggestions if anyone thinks they have a better idea! Thanks!

pinkers answered Thursday June 22 2006, 11:28 am: I would have her sing to little groups first, like your parents, you and your friends, things like that. Have her try out for a school musical when school starts again. I would definitely not do the wal-mart thing. I sing and i am not shy but i would definitely be embarrassed if my friends made me sing infront of everyone at walmart. People will make fun of her and you will have a hard time getting her to sing in front of anyone again if you go to Walmart and have her sing. I hope i helped! <3 [ pinkers's advice column | Ask pinkers A Question ]
Basketball3846 answered Thursday June 22 2006, 9:53 am: Just start out by having her sing in front of you guys' little group of friends (maybe 4 or 5) then bring her to your parents and have her sing then. Then maybe a trip around the block. Then graduallly keep growing the crowd. The best way to get her used to it is by staying gradual. Good luck!

karenR answered Thursday June 22 2006, 6:52 am: I think having her sing in front of your parents is okay if she wants too. You could also have her sing in front of other friends.
Do not have her sing at walmart. People would probably look at her like she was nuts or point and laugh. That happens and she will never sing
in public again. So don't do that because it will probably backfire on you. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
