I Want To Sing But

Legacygirl · Mar 30, 2007

I am hard of hearing. Notdeaf. I know I have nice voice to sing.But I never sing in front of anyone before. I am too scare totry out in front of people. I am even too scare to try out infront of one person. That why I sing to myself.Someone told me because I am hard of hearing I would not be a goodsinger. So I guess I can just throw out my dream then. Myvoice is not as great as Jessica Simpson or any other popstars. All I know is my voice does sound nice. No Iam not going on American Idol I would not make it there anyway. Whatyour advice?

Look for a small choir to join. Lookfor classes or get yourself a voice teacher or coach if you'reinterested. I'm in my school choir and I love it. Itook two semesters of a class then joined the after schoolchoir.

I encourage you to go for it, join a choir,write songs, or whatever it is that you want to do. Just because youare hard of hearing does not mean that you can't be a singer. Not byany means. I have a friend that is completely deaf, and an excellentpianist. Don't let your hearing stop you from doing something youenjoy. You know the old cliche, "where there's a will, there's a way"?It's true.

Nope, that's not true at all! Some of the bestsingers in the world are either partly deaf, or have trouble hearing.Sting has a hard time hearing, and Phil Collins is deaf out of his leftear I think. They still sing wonderfully.

I'm not the best vocalist in the world, but I'm deaf out of my rightear at the moment due to the cancer. But, I still compose, and sing.

So you can sing even if you have trouble hearing. I find the best wayto better your singing is listen to yourself. Record yourself, and playit back, then keep practicing until you get to where you like the wayyou sound. That's what I do to help better myself. I hope all goes wellfor you, good luck, and have fun!

You know what you could do if you want somefeedback (But don't take it all to seriously, cause some people justlike to be jerks) is record it and put it on youtube or something.

That's what I did to get better, and I think I actually improved...orsomething like it.

Good luck!
