Article SummaryX

To sing with confidence, try to practice singing for at least 15 minutes every day and consider working with a vocal coach to sharpen your skills and gain confidence in your voice. Next, practice singing in low-key environments, like a local karaoke night or church choir, to get comfortable singing in front of other people. Remember to stretch out your muscles, warm up your voice, and breath deeply before you start singing, and if you make a mistake, keep going rather than stop the performance.

"I recently had to perform in front of an audience for a choir group I'm in. At first I wasn't into singing because I was never confident in my voice, despite most people saying I could sing. This article helped me not only find my voice and what I'm good at, but taught me to use my voice to my advantage. "..." more
