singing
i LOVE singing. Everytime theres a song on that i like i sing. I really want to become a singer but im not sure if im good enough. I always sing in the car when my parents are there but they dont say oh wow your good, but the dont say im bad either. I record myself but my voice seems really low so im not sure if its me or the recorder. When i sing out loud and i hear myself i think i sound really good. A couple of my friends said im really good. Also my sister and I were playing this game because i wanted to see what she would say about my singing and she said i was great but im not sure if thats true because shes only 9. So what can i do to see if i sing good and also what should i do if i want to become a well known singer?
sorry this is long.
thank you so much :]

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
When I was a teenager, I was just like you. I loved music (I played the guitar, piano, flute and clarinet, and wrote songs)--but above all, I loved to sing.
I lived in a small town and had no opportunity for singing lessons. I sang in the chorus. I knew I was good, people told me I was good, but I was so shy that I, to turn a phrase, put my light under a bushel basket. I was too fearful of having someone tell me my dream of singing would never come true that I didn't do anything to make it come true.
All talent aside, I could never have made it as a singer for that very reason. You must have enormous confidence in yourself to put yourself out there--to risk "it all" for the dream you have.
In an interview, Stevie Nicks said that her parents agreed to give her a period of time (it may have been a year) to go to LA and try to make it in the music business, after which she would come home and go to college if things didn't work out.
Well, Stevie didn't have anything to "fall back on", but she did do pretty well for herself!
So put yourself out there in every way you can: school and community productions, even the church choir! Take voice lessons. (If you live in a small town the chorus teacher will probably give you private lessons for a fee.) After you've finished school, you'll be ready to go after your dream: LA (Rock and Roll) or NY (Broadway) or Nashville (Country). "Fall back" on the waitressing jobs you'll probably have to take to make ends meet at first. (Trisha Yearwood began as a receptonist at a record company, eventually sang on demos, and then was "discovered".)
It's a rough business. Many would tell you to only risk it if you can't do anything else (that is, wouldn't be happy doing anything else).
ALSO: audition for American Idol. Why not?
Best of luck to you, and much success. Gigi

Im a singer also! And I very much want to be a famous singer, I think Im pretty good. Like you, Ive heard a million times people say, "Youre amazing!" But, sometimes I think theyre just being nice. :] Anyway, if you truly think its your passion you need to invest a lot of time in it. I take voice lessons and I benefit from it a LOT so I reccomend you do the same. It will really help you train your voice - very important if you want to be a singer! Also, try not to sing TOO much. If youre belting a song on the radio, try to sing from your lower abdomen (Ive really ruined my voice a lot by screaming songs like 'LaLa' by Ashlee Simpson) Haha, so dont do it! Also, if you want to get noticed, its a lot of work. And the chances are SLIM, but that doesnt stop me from trying! So it shouldnt stop you. Basically, sing anywhere you can. School plays, local talent shows, karaoke bars - you NEVER know who is watching you and when youre going to get discovered. So, neverrr pass up an oppertunity to sing. Then, you need to start writing some of your own songs and it would help to learn an instrument like guitar or piano since you'll stand out more if youre multi-talented. Then just wait. Its probably better to finish school and get an education. Im definitely going to college because if the singing thing doesnt work, you need something to fall back on! Seriously! So, try hard at school and get good grades, practice singing a lot, and maybe try to get an agent in your local area and make a demo to send to record companies.

You should take singing lessons. These lessons will help you grow as a singer, and become more confident of your voice. If you want to know what people think, just ask them. Once you are ready to perform in a live audience, join your school's talent show. Heck, why dont you join chorus. If you want to be a famous singer, you have to put yourself out there. Your dreams dont come to you, you have to go to your dreams.
