I have a friend who wants to be a singer. How do I break it to her that she is terrible?

Gently. Perhaps start by pointing out that her pitch is often off, and suggest ways to improve that could be helpful. Compliment her on other aspects like stage presence or musicianship, and explain what strengths she should focus on developing in order to become a successful singer. The key is to be honest but encouraging while gently steering her in the right direction.

Breaking it to your friend that she is not a great singer is difficult, so try to be sensitive. You could say something like “while you are passionate about singing, you might not have the pipes for it”. Offer constructive feedback if you can but ultimately let her know gently that singing may not be her strongest skill.
