i love to sing and am a very good singer but i dont have the confidence to really sing in front of a bunch of people. the only people that know i can sing are my family and a few of my friends. i dont really have confidence in myself to come out and tell everyone and just sing. music is my life and i dont know what i would do without it. what should i do??

I was where you are as well. My husband formed a Christian group in our church and I was terrified of solos. I first starting doing duets with him. It still took a while but I finally got the courage to sing alone. I won't lie, the 1st time you will be nervous but people expect it. Don't wait as long as I did. Now we have another group just a trio with my husband, myself and another guy. Now I sing solos all the time, I write music and all of us have our music copyrighted. Just last week we traveled to New York because we were asked to sing up there, It was a 7 hr trip for us, but worth it. We are making a CD also. the first time is the hardest, but it does get easier. So try a duet first, that really takes a lot of the jitters off you because you fell confident with another. Good luck, I have a feeling you will be great and we will all know you some day. take hold of your talent. God bless i started singing in the church choir at 8 and it took so many years to sing alone. Of course my dad would always ask me to sing on holidays for my Memere and others. Speaking French, my Memere would always tell my father, 'Elle et un belle voix" Meaning, she has a beautiful voice, I didn't see it that way, and i hated being asked to sing for family. Did your parents do that to you? If they did, then you know you have a great voice and they were proud. At 61, I still sing in our church choir and i love it. Enjoy your talent, once you solo, you will be so happy you did. I will be praying that you have the courage to get up there and let everyone know, "HEY, I CAN SING."

Join a local choir. Singing in a group takes away that feeling that everyone is just listening to you. After being with the choir for a little bit, see if you can take a few solos. Short ones first, then longer ones. Hopefully, after sometime you will feel more confidence in yourself and will have less problems singing in front of people.

1. you have realised that you have a beautiful talent-now focus. you have something that others would die to have, do you want to share it? if you are determined, then carry on.
2. practise. all the time-at home, quietly in front of friends, walking down the street, etc.
3. join a choir/band, and sing with others. that way the attention isnt on you, and you will gradually develop confidence.
4. try singing in front of friends etc, at karaoke nights, and grdually get bigger and bigger crowds.
5. try to find a way of overcoming your fear, or just cope with it. Most people are scared before they go on stage, (i do dancing) but thats what makes it so special.
6. continue prgressing, good luck!

Practice at home using a live mic. Sing karaoke. Watch yourself singing in the mirror. Learn an instrument. Write songs, or just lyrics. Learn your favorite songs on the radio and be able to copy them so you know styles of artists.
I denied my musical calling until I was 24. Don't wait.
