I myself am in drama and chorus for a very long time, completing my lifetime dream. It is really hard for me to sing infront of people because i am surrounded by so many talented people.
Here is my advice to you, as i already have tried it and it has given me my own parts and success. I know this is going to be hard but all you have to remember is this. If you only got one chance in life to achieve your dreams, would you take it? You have to take chances in life to be succesful, because if you dont it will pass you by.
Also, you have to believe in yourself, withought getting cocky ofcourse. If people are telling you that you have a beautiful voice then you do! So take a chance! Spread them wings girl!
