Okay it's been years and years I'm flirting with music... Trying to approach it like this or that.... Yet !!! I am so SO close to sing, but it feels

like there's something there stopping me... I'd like any tips from musicians or people who sing or like me, have managed to sing again.. I mean, I remember singing casually with my guitar as a teenager. Then puff I lost it.
I've took seminars about releasing the voice, joined a choir, even took a few vocal classes couple of years back.. yet... I stop ! I mean I can't exactly picture myself as a singer. But I'd love to be able to take music with me..as a way to expression..
I can picture myself living in a forest and singing there....:)

That's great that you sing by the way. You should do a Vocaroo.

I had a block cause I was scared of something.. But I tried doing short sessions of just 10 minutes or so and that really helped. Since then I have worked on songs for a couple of hours.

@Matt85 thank you, cutting it down to short windows of time is a GOLDEN rule !
Yes... Right..

Vocaroo ? Oh well. I'll see. I'm not really a singer nor do I make efforts to become one .
I sing as a human right !!!

It's been my experience playing music and singing back-ups when I were younger that you have to find that place inside you, that which comes from your deepest expression, then channel any and all your emotion into your song. I had a tough but very wise old music instructor who told me to do this. And he said, what comes out the other side will be pure, and distinctly yours. I would say, music is a gift from upon high. We're only here short while, enjoy it. Just sing from the heart sweetie, good or bad, just sing. Peace & Love ✌️✌️✌️

@SW-User I don't look at it in order, I just look at what I'm thinking about.

You mean you'd like to sing for a small audience, or do you keep stopping to sing to yourself too?

SW-User

@NerdyPotato both.. it's silly really..:)

Find your vocal range and work on tone and expression.

Girl, just do it! I don't sing, I screech so i really have no useful advice for you other than do what makes your soul shine. Good vibes are contagious

The thing you think about most when you wake up everyday is what you want to be

Listen to that and connect with local musicians or choirs to try it out plus you get to meet amazing people just like yourself ⭐️

@ThreeLittleBirds I think I either want to be a parachute or a cook if what you say is true 😜

ThreeLittleBirds · F

hehe then go for it

The only thin I’ve ever wanted to be is happy 😌

That’s priceless.
