how to know if you're a good singer or not?
I know even if I'm not a good singer, if I've got a good body and loaded pockets they'll just autotune me and I'm set, but I wanna get in because of my talent and hard work. More like Madonna, she started with $35 dollars, not miley cyrus who got on because of her dad. I can hit notes and control my volume, and I sound good singing to myself, but when I record myself and listen to it I sound like total crap. And my parents can't afford vocal lessons, so what should I do?

The easiest way to get an answer to the question of whether you are a good singer and possibly boost your career is to try out for all of those reality singing competitions. American Idol, The Voice, etc. You may scoff at that and not want to go that route, but it's really the best way to figure out if you're any good or not as long as you can handle the criticism should you receive it. It's the best way to get noticed and make a career out of singing when you never would have been able to otherwise. If you were to get voice lessons, do you really think that your instructor would be honest with you about your talent? If you weren't good enough and your instructor told you that, they'd be out of a job. If you're totally against reality TV, go the YouTube route. Above all else, have a backup plan if this doesn't work out. Good luck!

Just a thought. If you are comparing the sound of your voice to that of music and vocals recorded in a professional studio, it is unlikely to sound much like it. Just like snaps of yourself idoors taken with an on-camera flash don't look much like those taken under a big, complex studio lighting set-up. So in what way do we mean 'crap'? At base, a pretty model is still a pretty model (the rig won't save you if you are not, and the quick snap will still show bone-structure/physique/proportion etc if you are.)
I rather think something similar must apply with singing? If it just lacks polish and finesse, you have every hope. If you have no ability to carry a tune, pitch, phrase and time vocals and so on...maybe choose a different career plan.

You may just not be used to how your voice actuly sounds. When you talk your voice travels through many bones and muscles making a warmer deeper sound. The rest if the world hears a higher pitched version. You also could be singing out of your vocal range. If your serious about singing you are going to want to find what that is if you alredy havent. Youtube has plenty of free vocal range tests. Youll have to sing a series of defending notes as far as you can. Then a series of acending notes as far as you can. Then youll be given a range and most of the tests have key chart for what your range is classified as. For example I have a baritone range. Once you find your range youll be more comfortable if you sing in your range. For example if I tryed to sing In a tennor range I would barely be able to do it. Hoped this helped and good luck with your singing.
