Singing

[tylermunjkt]

Sorry if In wrong place, didn't lknow where to post.

Today at school the head of school said we're having a school talent show. I thought ''I'M GONNA ENTER.'' I was gonna do singing. All my mates say I have a good voice aswell as my mom. The only thing, im so scared of singing infront of the pupils (If I get through) I'm kinda scared at singing infront of the teachers (For orditions.)

What should I do? Over come my fear and let out my real personality or keep it quite?

(I'm not gonna sing on skype to anyone )

Well first, id check u actually have a good voice, friends and parents tend to be over nice about things like that

And if u actually do, then yeah go for it why not, maybe get a friend who can also sing/play an instrument to do it with you for some extra support

yeah get some friend to play the bongos in the background or something

Yeah I agree with all of this really as harsh it sounds. How you check is up to you but seriously check beforehand.
I also agree with the bottom part too, I've played the piano to accompany the vocalist a few times and it does help. Even if they can play a few chords, it makes you in pitch (although the notes might not be the same you'll be able to work it out) and also in time. Make sure you rehearse enough but not overboard if you want to go for it!

One thing I would say though is that you mentioned you were a bit scared about the audition process. Remember it is a talent show and that'll mean there'll be teachers there as well as many students so it's your choice to call! I used to have stage fright when I was younger and doing these things really helped however some people don't think it's the best idea in the world and prefer more relaxing techniques.

@above: would be funny if chris (neversoft) played the bongos for you :p

How can I tell If I sound good? Recording wouldnt be helpful tbh, it kinda changes yaa voice...

It would change your voice though...

I think the only thing to know your any good, is to sing to someone you don't know irl and they'll give you a honest opinion.
Or audition and see where you get, you never know you might get through

Gonna ask my mum to tell me the truth. LOL

Definitely check before you go to audition. Other than that, just have confidence in yourself when you sing.
