This is going to sound strange but I wonder if many of us feel confident singing? I have a lot of musical ability but I've always had trouble forcing myself to sing. It is as if I don't really know my own voice well enough to know what it will do.

Well Sealynx, I wish I had your talents. I have no musical ability whatsoever. I couldn't carry a tune evenif it was duct-taped to my back--but I sing anyway :lol: :lol: :lol:
Funny, it's always been a fantasy of mine to be a famous singer... :? :? :?

Bear,
Next life, we'll form an all girl band!!

I can carry a tune, but I sound like Johnny Cash.

I feel confident singing and I enjoy it. People around me do not enjoy it.
I tend to be fairly considerate, except for the occasional outburst - and sometimes I will continue for a few lyrics beyond the requests to stop :D
I don't sound as good as Johnny Cash. I probably sound like a cross between L Cohen and Lou Reed, both on their very worse days.

Guess we need to make a country/heavy metal band!!

I'll sing in church, and have sung in childhood choirs. I know my voice, even with talking is not "right". I think it's tense somehow, although nobody has ever said that to me. Interesting thread.... I like Johnny Cash, so no loss there from my perspective:)

Nm sang, fairly well. She sang solos for years in the church. She quit after a snot nosed teen told her she sounded a little sharp to him. I don't think she's ever forgiven him.
I found out at 22 that I'm mostly tone deaf. Strangely enough, nm always pushed me to join youth choirs, sing a duet for church with a friend, on and on. The duet was one of the most embarrassing times of my life. I just quit singing in the middle of it.
I don't think nm ever noticed I was tone deaf. She didn't notice much at all about me, so this isn't surprising. To her, I was an extension of her so of course I would be involved in singing activities. I hated the whole thing. Hated performing in front of crowds mostly. I could tell people didn't like something about the way I sang, so I sang very softly.
I love to sing now. Almost always when I'm alone though. Favorite place is the car. I used to sing to my nephew's when they were little too. They seemed to enjoy it. :) Sometimes we'll still belt out something together, being supremely silly all the while. I love it!
Yeah, singing is definitely a touchy subject for me. Too much history. I just want to feel free to make a joyful noise, cacophony, ruckus, whatever. Worn

I love to sing! But have mixed feelings about it so mostly just sing when I am alone. I sang in a group in high school, got positive feedback but was petrified of doing a solo. Sis asked me to sing at her wedding but I just couldn't do it. After all, N husband had just told me I was a horrible singer. So mostly I just sing when I am alone. But have a great time when I do!

I am taking voice lessons. When I sing, I start sobbing and memories come back.
My teacher is very cool .
One day, I started sobbing and then told him I was afraid my M could be a lesbian toward me . He just sits there. :lol:
Singing can help cure voicelessness, I think.
