I've always had a dream to become a rock star... not like SUPER famous.. but at least known in my city. maybe like a garage band or something like that.
well here's the problem.. actually theres a lot of problems
-I LOVE to sing.. but my voice isn't all that great
-I have stage fright
-i have never sung in front of an audience.. not even my family
-I want to be in a band, but i don't know what to do... like a drummer, guitarist or vocalist but i like ALL of them. I could see myself doing all of them.
-The only instruments i've played were the piano and clarinet.. so i'd have to take up lessons for guitar or drums... but i probably won't have the time to practice or have the lessons
heres my schedule
mondays- soccer practice
tues.- soccer conditioning
wed- soccer practice
thur- nothing
fri- soccer practice
and then every other saturday or sunday is a soccer tournament.

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
I think we have a lot in common :)
1# I just happened to be watching TV and see a commercial for a Christian Cd :Open the eyes of my heart and the website is www.timeline.com. I like the songs a lot, maybe you will too.
2# I LOVE to sing as well. I've always wanted to play an instrument, but I find that my voice is the best instrument I've got. You cant be a one person band, so pick something and focus on it.
For your scheduling conflicts, you've just got to fit it in. Maybe you can take lessons after school (like thursday) or you can even try teaching yourself in your downtime (you can buy videos/tapes/books on just about anything.) For singing paticurlarly, I find just practicing makes perfect. Vocal lessons could really help, but you could just learn exercises and songs. And if your ever in a band, you wont have to carry any heavy equiptment.
Stage fright is a hard thing for me too. But I find working your way up helps. Sing for a friend, sing for a group of friends, sing for family, and get more comfortable with it. Sometimes I just start singing and dont realize it til Im midway thru the song! Its not hard once you get used to it.
Good luck and rock out!

If you love singing go for that.As long as you don't have a god awful voice,it could work.Really,the key to being a real "Rock star" is charisma.If you have that then you can make anything happen.You have to be able to feed off of your audiences energy as well as have them feed off of yours.It's like a never ending cycle between you and them and there aren't any barriers.As for getting it together,just sort of ask around.I'm sure if you try there are a few people around that you could make a band with.And stage fright...it's like any other fear.Face it and if it doesn't kill you,it'll go away.Finally and most importantly:if this is something you're truly serious about-don't give up.If you have ambition and you have what it takes it could happen.
Hope this helped,and good luck :)

For question one, You should try Zoegirl, Mary Mary or Plumb.
As for question two, this is one that I can identify with. Everyone, reguardless of how good their natural voice sounds, needs vocal lessons to learn how to use their vocal cords properly. Without it you stand a good chance of damaging your vocal cords.
To help you gain confidence I would suggest taking choir as a class through school. Acting lessons will also help you with stage fright.
Music take dedication. Any powerful, sucessful musican out there has put hours and hours into their music. It requires a great deal of passion.
