This is kind of a weird question, but the only time I ever sang seriously infront of someone is when i auditioned in a musical for my school, and I guess I was really nervous and I sang horribly! I had practiced the song and I thought I sounded decent, but when I got up there it sounded bad! I want to know if you are truly a good singer, then you never sound bad or if good singers sounded bad at first. Because that was the first time I ever sung infront of someone and I hadnt taken singing lessons. Also, how do I know if I sing good? I recorded myself once, but I couldn't really tell cause I am singing quietly so no one can hear.
I've never really sounded bad. I actually just had an audition on Saturday, and some of the best soloists in the country were telling me about how incredible I was.
I'd love to listen to your recording and I can hopefully help you, if you'd like.

For example I'm sure you've heard of Sean Paul and a lot of his tracks and I like alot of them but when I had seen him live he was the worst act I had EVER seen. He really cannot sing to save his life! My cousin who's only 16 has started singing and she's really,really good and has won various awards as well as tried out for some singing cometition.
Most singers sound so good because of the help of technology (Sean Paul is a major example). I thought he sounded terrible on stage whereas the same tracks in an album were amazing - this is because technology is used (recording studio and such) to alter and change things. On a stage or a performance you can't do that.
I suggest if you really want to get into singing, that you start taking lessons and practice as much as you can. You will need to get more confidencein yourself as well so you can sing infront of crouds. If it's any concillation I will say that no one can say you sing bad because it takes a lot of courage and guts to get infront of people to sing. Usually the ones who complain are the ones who have NEVER done that. Until they do that they are in so position to complain about you being bad. SO you just keep at it and practice and you'lldo it. Also, the same way a lot of people think they look ugly or sound bad - it's the same with singers. They think they sound really bad when they actually don't at all. So it may be nothing but just your own insecurity.
All I can say is keep at it and start lessons if it'ssomething you really want to do. You have the drive becauseyou had the courage ot get infront of people to do it once. You can do it again. :) [ ammo's advice column | Ask ammo A Question ]
