So Im thinking about taking singing lessons but Im wicked nervous. I think I sound like crap when I sing. My boyfriend who is a musician and is in a band, thinks i sound fine and always says I sing in key. He keeps asking me to sing backup in his band but theres no way thats happening with my zero amount of confidence. He says everyone has the ability to sing good if they try...I think hes full of it Im just wondering if its possbile to sing good just from taking some lessons. I was in chorus all throughout highschool but whatever. Any advice? I dont want to sound like an ass in front of the teacher, I mean I dont want to suck and have him/her not tell me. plus im so very shy and hate being in front of people let alone be in front of people and have to speak or sing.....so i was thinking maybe this could help me out, whether I sing in my boyfriends band or not. ahhhhh I dont know what to do.
