Singing!
So I have been singing for years. You know.. for fun? Nothing serious so I don't think I'm a good singer.
My friend, I always thought had a better singing voice & she's in theater .. gets the lead parts and singing parts.
So I go to her for advice about singing and I told her how great she was at it.
Well, she sang something for me & sent it to me in a wav.
And it isn't her best singing.. at all.. she was out of tune and i dont know how to respond to her. it's not her best work.. but she wants an answer.
I can send you the link and maybe you can come up with something nice but helpful to say ?
it's not horrible.. i just don't know how to say that needs some work on it.. because I'm not a great singer. I'm a bit flat so.. if I tell her or imply how she's not that great.. it would be kinda stupid? Because I'm no better than her.
Help?
She's going to sing at her theater but i don't want her to embarrass herself or get hurt..

Want to answer more questions in the Hobbies category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
Well if you HONESTLY think that she isn't doing her best work...i would deffinatly tell her how you feel.
She's your friend so its better to let her know in advanced that it sounds bad, becuase if you dont it can hurt YOU and HER in the future.
and if shes a true friend she will thank you for your honesty, and maybe even save her from quite a bit of embarassment.

I would give her the benefit of the doubt. Even if you don't mean it, say something like "I've heard you sing a lot better than that before, to be honest ... maybe the quality of the recording is bad?" Or, if she has a sense of humor, then you can hint at it in a joking way. But usually, I find the best thing for me is to always make yourself look bad. You could say something like, "Well I don't have nearly the experience you have, but something sounds a little flat to me in this song" or something like that. Whatever you do, don't start your critique off with "Don't take this personally, but ... " or "No offense, but ...", because those really sound insincere.
But I guess, just put yourself in her shoes. If you were about to audition for a big show, would you want someone to be honest with you and tell you you sound horrible, or sugar-coat it? It's just a matter of what you think your friend would take the best. Good luck. :)

Just say,
that was good....but I think maybe.....
Maybe tell her to sing the song with the music
Just say it was christina agulaeria "hurt"
Make her sing it with chrisitna on it, that way she's in tune and she'll remember

Try it out sweet and sour. Give her a compliment, but reccomend that she change something, too. =)

Don't say anything negative about it unless she was off-key for the WHOLE song. I think it's okay to mention it was good exept for being off-pitch. Or you could say "maybe it's not the best song for your voice."

I'm a singer, too.
One of the best things that someone can do for me is tell me that I'm off-pitch. It helps me improve.
Can you send it to me in an inbox question so that you get my response?
