Question: Can anyone sing!?
So, I absolutely love singing and going to see musicals is like one of my favourite things to do!. problem is, i'm not very good!. i never noticed it when i was younger, but i started realising that i was never chosen for singing parts in my drama and singing group, and when me and my friends use to play this competion game i would never be voted for best singing!. When I was about 11 or 12 i decided never to sing in public any more, but its quite sad because i am quite a musical person and i play the piano but refuse to sing along when performing!. Is there any way people like me can actually become good, or do you have to be born with the right voice!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Even though you think you may not be the best, it doesn't mean you suck or shouldn't sing!. Sometimes there are people better than you, it's a part of life, and there are people who are "naturals," but that doesn't mean you can't do it either!.

You don't have to be born with the right voice!. Like the other posters said, you play piano, so you are VERY unlikely tone deaf!.

My advise is to get lessons, they help you get an objective, trained outside view (we are our own worst critics unless you are an egotistical jerk, which you're not)!. Qualified teachers will know what you need to work on and can help you choose music that is good for your voice!.

If you love to sing, then sing!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i agree, being tone deaf while playing the piano is rare!. but i've seen it happen!. you do not have to be born with the right voice, because some people grow up singing like shi* and end up singing amazing, it a matter of persistance, training, experience, and most imporantly learning to overcome your fear of embarassing yourself!.

you can also start by playing the piano and singing to it!. simple scales, and you should be able to hear if you are singing it right also!. get a teacher if you want to! join a choir it's totally possible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Unless you are totally tone deaf (wich I doubt very much since you play the piano) you can be taught to sing correctly!. Yes there are people who are "Naturals" they are lucky!. singing correctly will not however make you a good singer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As Cliff R Said : Some are naturals!.
Yeah I got lucky Im natural!.
Others have drive!. You need to do voice lessons!. Ask your music director in a school or whatsoever!. This is how I expanded to a larger range of voice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Im preety good at singing I like to sing in church but church sucks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are people who are just born with "Natural Talent"!.
Like those really young kids who never took a lesson but can really belt it out!.
I'm similar in that I've never taken a lesson when I was younger and was self-taught, of course I'm taking lessons now to perfect it!.

But I agree with the first poster!.
Unless you are abs!. tone deaf, you can learn to sing!.
You probably do sing well, but are lacking confidence!.
Maybe take a few classes!? And don't tall yourself that you can't do it!. Keep your head up!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
