ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Terrified of performing in public


 
I have a really good singing voice, but whenever I have to sing in front of someone, I get scared. I talked to my mom, but she just told me to take a deep breath and close my eyes. That was no help.
 
Dear Scared Singer,
Sounds like you have a gift, so why not share it? Everyone feels shy at times, and nervousness is natural. But work to find your courage so you can start belting out songs rather than keeping quiet about your voice. Can you take voice lessons? Can you sing for an easy audience, such as a kind aunt or grandmom? Think about the singers who are your role models, then picture yourself taking the stage and wowing the crowd as they do. Start by just singing in the shower, then slowly and surely give yourself permission to shine. Hey, if you have a good singing voice, the rest of us want to have the pleasure of hearing it.

Hey! The best thing to do in order to break through is to believe in yourself, as Carol said take it slowly but for you to progress try singing to yourself, getting louder around the house, hold mini performance for a friend or relative and sure enough you'll conquer your fear! If that doesn't work try some tips whilst singing on stage:
- Imagine everyone is naked
- Like your mum says; take a deep breath, close your eyes
imagine that nobody is listening
- Be confident and let any feedback help you progress, not
not only this but talk to others about it and don't be
shy

Hope this helps and remember - if you have a talent, let it shine!! Good luck!

Haha I had the same type of problem...Well I guess I still do sorta but what helped me was I have to sing kinda stupid with a weird voice in front of my family just as like I'm walking by or something....Then Ill just start singing my real voice then I'm not that shy. But I'm still working on it.

MOD MOD MOD Recently, I got blamed for doing something to this girl from school that I didnt do. I think its cleared up now, but I'm scared I'm going to get more calls about what happened. My Dad said he'd handle it and I trust him, and my mom said the guy calling will get in trouble for calling me because I'm only 13. I think it's over, but I just cant seem to forget about it. My mom said that life goes on bust I cant help it! What should I do? Please help! Riley

 

 

Hey chica! I'd be sure to talk to your rents about your concerns, so that they know you're still scared about it. Also, maybe try talking to a counselor at school about your fears. I promise, with time, it'll get better. So, hang in there chica. Smile
