SINGING INFRONT OF PEOPLE
I love singing. But i have a shyness of singing in front of people. I have before and people were shocked. I think im really talented at singing but it just the shyness that is a problem. How do i get over something like that?

lol. I'm the exact same person! Only 2 of my closest friends have ever heard me sing. And barely, too. But they tell me i can sing, but im just too shy to. To tell you, try singing a couple times at home, like in your room. And after that, maybe you can sing to a couple of close friends. Then you can try roaming around the house or neighborhood a bit. After that is when you try and sing nearly everywhere you go, and by then, i'll gaurantee that your shyness will be 99% gone! Nobody can lose shyness 100%.

okay, I'm sorry to tell you that its really hard to get over shyness. I usually get very nervous in front of people.
The best way that I know is to KNOW YOUR SONG reaaalllly well before you go to sing it for reals. It helps keep you calmer, because you don't have to worry about screwing up. Then tell yourself I'M GOOD AT THIS! Anyone who laughs at me is SO JEALOUS, cuz I ROCK!
Its really hard the first few times, but if you never jump, you'll never know you can fly!

Being shy is normal. I was when I first started singing. But, I overcame that obstacle when I auditioned for a part in a play. (Just an example)
STEP 1: Determine why you're shy in the first place. For example, are you scared of what someone might say about your physical appearance? Remember, there's an underlying reason for how you react in situations.
STEP 2: Act as if you're not shy. In private, behave as if you're oozing confidence. Hold your chin up, stick your chest out, add a swagger to your walk and speak firmly. It may seem ridiculous, but you will see results when you're out in public.
STEP 3: Practice making eye contact and smiling in your interactions with others. Strike up casual conversations with strangers about weather or current events.
STEP 4: Look your best. One way to improve self-consciousness is to always look good and limit ways you can be self-critical.
STEP 5: Lower your fear of rejection by imagining the worst possible outcome. If you approach someone, they may say "no" or they may just walk away. Absolutely everybody has been rejected at some point, but no one has to dwell on it.
STEP 6: Look and learn. Watching friends or even strangers who aren't shy is a good way to learn some tips first-hand.
STEP 7: Feel positive about yourself, don't get frustrated and have fun. Remember, the real goal is to find someone who will like you for who you are.

i had the same fear.
its hard to get over but this is what i did:
1- i sang aloud in the car, no matter WHO was in there.
2- my friends came over and i had a 'talent show'
3- i let the most unlikely person hear me sing.
4- i recorded myself
5- i had another 'talent show' with my friends when they give me dirty looks ~for me to have confidence~
6- i practiced like CRAZY
7- pretend your singing to....someone special
8- HAVE FUN!
i hope i helped

You have to be comfortable with yourself first. When I first sung and played guitar for people I was very nervous. You can say your good but you have to know your really good. Make sure you dont lack any confidence. You can work up to that confidence by simply practicing by yourself. It doesnt really help to do it in front of people. You have to know your good. Tape record you singing and than listen to it. Doing this will make you realize your singing ability. People tell me Im good at the guitar all the time. Doesn't mean I believe it! Chances are if you cant sing in front of people yet, your just not read. Not saying your not a singer. Your probaly 100 times better than me.

practice. practice in front of people. you can start with, maybe, smaller groups of people and slowly just go to bigger crowds. do it for your friends even, and if anything they can give you advice as well. do it for your parents and family. if you really want to go extreme, do karaoke somewhere in public. lol.
