I hear ya'. Oops.

Ducky

So I really wouldn't want to hear ya'? lol

Ducky

Now THAT is really bad! LOL!

Talk "sing" like Tom Petty or Bob Dylan.

They are both awful and they made it big.

Bob Dylan...worst singer ever and always looks like he's spaced out or nodding off.

Let's throw Bruce Springsteen in there too...can't sing either and always looks dirty. yuk

A beauty for sure. :)

Wear outrageous clothes, strike a pose, grab a microphone and scream!

Like this.....         (Katy Perry)

Perhaps you should concentrate on performances in the shower???

If you can't hold a tune you can't be taught to hold a tune. Some people just can't do it despite popular belief.  However, someone mentioned join a punk band or alternate rock group, if you can't sing, you'll do well.  and loved by your peers that can't tell the difference between good music and 10 carpenters building a house.

How about taking singing lessons ?

If you love to sing. SING! Find a song you can "kinda" sing and practice it. Then practice it some more.  You don't have to sing to others who might be critical ... SING FOR YOU. It would help if you had a guitar, but those are hard to play and expensive. Do what you can.

Take their advice...PLEASE.  I'd rather eat tofu than endure a wanna be Elvis or Piaf. Contain your urge within your shower stall. Better still, record your vocal skills ( a capella )  on tape, then press "stop",  "rewind" , "stop" and the "play" button.

I'm searching for my tape recorder right now.
Qwwaaaaakkkkkkkk!!!

I sound the best in my car! I don't like it though, when the person in the next car, laughs at me. What do they know? lol

I would love to be a model but my bum is the wrong shape,

A singer should be able to sing could but you could also let your voice get edited in a recording program.

Maybe something along the lines of drawing or painting would better suit your artistic talents, or maybe songwriter.

Sing practice, sing.  Get lessons if you can.  Have fun. Be yourself.  Like Bill Cosby the comedian said, "For 5 million that hate you, 5 million will love you." Something like that.   Do what you love and your life will be great or at least very  good.

Well........ You know the old sayings....Don't give up your day job yet.  And if you can't sing good,SING LOUD!

Join a choir,singing with others can help you to get in tune then you may be able to move onto solos.

Try singing here, I'm sure no one will mind

I can't carry a tune in a tin bucket. At birthday parties, I just mouth the words............

You can't please everybody  so please yourself    Sing !

sing in the shower, or sing to your mom. Moms will usaully listen to their adult children sing.

sing for your own :)

....sing at church

....God likes it

Sing in a group with those who have louder voices than you. The bigger the group, the better.

I am a singer because I practice and take the time to learn my songs well.  I don't need an audience to practice, and I sing because I love to, and not for the recognition it gets me.  Practice some tunes you like within your vocal range ( notes you can hit), and do it without the negative feedback.  If you know someone who is a good singer, ask them if they can maybe listen to your work, and give you some constructive criticism.Join choir or glee club at school.  Watch shows like the Voice and X Factor so you can see the difference between bad, good and WOW!!!  Open your mouth more when going for the high notes, and don't look at the sky.  Record yourself and hear yourself.  See what you would change, and use a bit of trial and error to do so.  And please sing you instead of YOW-  I hate when singers do that unless it is a rock song.  If you want to be better, you must be persistent and you will be if you truly love it.  Don't be afraid to strain your voice a little but rest it when it is strained.  In the meantime, as long as you are singing, you ARE a singer.  Good luck and God bless.
