Replies rufoo Posted at 11:38 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 I'd start just singing outside in your front yard. (like a garage or just on the lawn ) .. in a small local cafe maybe. Then during school lunches. Make you're way going up and up. I used to just sing kareoke during family parties. I made up a few songs.. started singing FOR parties. Made my way up just preforming in my local coffee cafe shop. Then I tried actually just sidewalk playing. Really though, most I've ever done is just during school shows.. The Nowhere Man Posted at 6:36 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 Get used to performing, yeah. My guitar teacher says that he used to drink lots before he performed so people wouldn't see his hands shake. I'm totally different though, I hate singing in front of people I know (just not confident enough, guitar and acting's fine). I think I'd prefer a noisy bar to a place where everyone's eyes are on me. cienna Posted at 11:27 am on Nov. 15, 2008 im sure u must have a friend u can sing his heart out to womanier? ask him to do a duet? Sachacohen2 Posted at 10:32 am on Nov. 15, 2008 Just going to have to slowly work at it, start by singing to your closest friends, cousins etc. its only me Posted at 10:31 am on Nov. 15, 2008 do loads of performances and Do things you wouldn't normally do to gain your confidence. sadnessness Posted at 10:31 am on Nov. 15, 2008 go to american idol or US xfactor or whatever you have over there and see what they say Spiral Posted at 10:20 am on Nov. 15, 2008 Perform, lots.
