i love to sing!

i just wanted to let it be known i LIVE to sing!!

i let singing take over my life and i couldnt be more happy. tonight im singing at my school concert with a solo and just found out i made the audition group at my school. i really hope one day to go to broadway or something along those lines. anyone share my passion and maybe have some tips on making this a real career for me? i know its all "who you know" and "getting yourself out there" but id love to hear how some of you brought your music to another level, preferably singing.

 

you have my encouragement

 

I love to sing also

 

yup singing is great. ^^
I'd say try and go for auditions at a local theatre, or maybe join an young amateur dramatics group? Get as much stage experience as possible, it looks very impressive to those in charge of casting. don't worry, you're not too young! I was only 14 when I did my first proffesional production.
acting and dancing are always great skills to have in the theatre world.
ooh and singin lessons and local singing competetions arealways good to go to.

oooh don't you just hate it when you have a cough and you're meant to be singing? :S jeez it sucks, i couldn't even sing a nursery ryhme without croaking lol

 

Yay! I love to sing, it really is my life. Its so wonderful to float with my voice.
Congratulations on making the Audition group!
Do you sing in choirs? What style?

... Laa la laaaaa pom tiddle deee...

 

Singing is healthy. I love to sing, too.

 

I am not a very good singer....

Oh well, playing guitar loudly and singing in my bedroom kicks ass!

 

I love singing!!
I've already travelled to San Francisco, St. Petersburg (Russia) to perform there, and Barcelona is next!
Singing's just awesome

 

At 15? You gotta be kidding.

 

Why? I could quite easily go and dance in Disneyworld if I bothered to go the auditions and pay the travel and costume fees.
You can go anywhere if you're good enough.

 

Never woulda guessed

Anyway, I don't like singers. I don't despise them or anything, but it used to be people sang and played an instrument a the same time. Now a lot of bands have the drums, bass, guitars, and a singer. Just annoys me. I think they look stupid because they've got nothing to do with their hands.

And for me, since singing comes so easy to me, they seem like talentless hacks. I guess they aren't, but they seem like it, since for me singing was always so easy. But I guess not for everyone.

 

well thats kind of unfair- your voice IS an instrument.

if your blessed enough to be surrounded by people who make singing look like its just easy, then congradulations. but the rest of us know that there are PLENTY of people out there who wish they could sing and vigorously take lessons to become better.

sorry, im not trying to like "fight" or anything.. but your kind of dismissing the effort that i put into my voice every single day, just because i dont have a guitar in my hand while doing it.

 

I knew I was gonna catch hell for that. And I just said, I knew it wasn't true, but that's how it feels to me, because singing comes easily to me. I understand that it doesn't for a lot of people.

 

Well they do have the microphone.
I don't understand how you can see singers as talentless, just 'cause it comes naturally to you. If you were like me, a decent voice, enoguh to get by but not incredibly good, you'd definately appreciate that singing is a talent.

 

I do appreciate that singing is a talent. We're talking about the difference between what it feels like to me and what I assume is actually true. It feels like people who only sing are talentless, I assume that isn't true. It's just the feeling I have that I can't seem to get rid of.

 

I understand where your coming from nalencer. i think your saying that back in the day, people with great voices would not only sing, but would play an instrument too, and now a days, people will only sing, and that's it, and theres just less talent. i would even agree to a point. but i also love to sing. i'm in the top choir at my school, theres 20 of us, and we've been to new york, stade germany, and we sang on a cruise going through the carribiean. it's so much fun. i love singing harmonies. and school plays, and the musicals. ah, it's so great. dietcoketree (and anyone else) what part do you sing? are you a soprano or alto? i'm bisectional (lol) and sing both tenor and bass. it's great fun.

 

Yeah, that's about what I mean.

 

i sing any female part that is needed... soprano I, soprano II, alto I, alto II.

 

Hmm, I don't know what kind of music you listen to, but I don't remember Robert Plant, Jim Morrison or Grace Slick playing instruments (ok, tambourine) while they sang. Lots of people did, yes, but lots of people still do.

 

I don't know hardly anything about the Doors; are you serious that Jim Morrison didn't even play an instrument? Fuck...
