AdviceMistress answered Tuesday December 29 2009, 1:36 pm: I was a vocalist in high school...the feeling of being on stage is definitely a HUGE rush. I love having the lights on me...the audience in attention and the music blaring...but I quit. The stupidiest thing I ever did. I quit because of a guy and I always to this day regret it...I know I'm still young enough to start but it was just something that always stops me. I use to sing to my ex all the time and my other ex boyfriends would always encourage me to sing. To this day my first boyfriend stops me from singing.
If you practice in your room and start singing infront of friends you'll adjust. It can be very terrifying but remember that you shouldn't be. If you have a great voice use it and know that practicing infront of friends or family will help you. It takes time its not going to happen suddenly you have to work at it. Maybe after posting this I'll figure out something that will get me back into music. Don't give it up! Good luck and Happy Holidays! :) [ AdviceMistress's advice column | Ask AdviceMistress A Question ]

The first step is gathering cover songs to do and rehearse them until you know them to the t. If you want guiatrists, bassists, and drummers to back you up it would be good to get a band. IF you want to see how things go by yourself thats good too, the first place you would probably want to sing in is a nursing home. You would have a large audience but the old people kind of are doing their own thing, in constant need of assistance, and it is continously chaotic. This is a good place because you won't be their focus but they will enjoy the music. This is great especially if you are trying to get the jitters of performing live out of the way. Another way is inviting a group of friends and playing sing star. I guarantee if you can sing on expert on that your voice will be golden. The more people you invite, the more comfortable you will be about performing. Once you have done all of these things then you can start with writing your own lyrics and songs. Its all about practice, attitue, and faith that you will do well. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]
The_MoUsY_spell_checker answered Monday December 28 2009, 12:17 pm: Start by practising singing in your own time, and then with your friends. (Pick the ones that are closest to you. You need to be comfortable with them.)
As you get used to singing more often, you'll be more comfortable with singing. Ask your friends for feedback. They'll tell you how good you sound, and then you can start singing more seriously.
