I can sing!  Oh, let me tell you what, can I sing.  Too bad it isn't any good and people look at me funny and throw things at me, which isn't very nice btw, <pout>.  But hey, I can sing!  I write the songs that make the whole would sing.  :)

A guys body can continue to change into their mid-twenties, so your voice could still change, too.  Give it time.  Worse comes to worse, try going to a singing coach and let him know that you want to train your voice, not to sing, but to be lower. It's possible that this could help give you better control over your voice and increase your voice range to include lower pitches, I don't know.

Be confident everytime you sing..... show them off your "talent"..... let them realize that even you dont have voice like celine dion or mariah carrey... you can still belt in!!! hola girl!!!! the show must go on!!!!

I would like to be a singer. I think the recording studio is fun but, I'm not good at it. I feel like I wouldn't be a completely hopeless case if I had the right training and voice exercises...oh yeah...and somebody pushing me to actually do them would help too!

My singing is terrible, but for 50,000, I sure would do it.  After all, look what happened to William Hung when he was not chosen for American Idol..he was not a very good singer but he became a cult favorite for a little while.

I have some advice, if you have a good voice don't sing in that style it will probably ruin it if you've never done it before.  Screaming is very, very hard on a female voice.  Work into it slowly.  I almost ruined my classically trained voice by singing in a garage band.  Don't try to sound like anyone else, find your own unique groove.

I am not a singer by a long distance and now can hardly even talk - all thanks to an illness called cancer. Almost everyone attributed my cancer ( of the larynx ) to smoking except for my treating oncologist who attributed it to "maximum voice abuse". My job was such that I was traveling almost twenty days of each month, talking on the cellular for hours at an end, I would carry  two cellulars and two extra batteries as back up. Even on the days I was at home though less my cellular conversations would be for at least two batteries and even holidays were a misery for my family.\nSo - be careful but you dont have to be scared as I am sure you are abusing your voice as I did.

I dont have an answer for being nervous. I sang choir all through school and never got over being nervous. The advice I do have....lemon juice. It is very good for your voice. Keeps it crisp and clear.

i know this sounds gross, but you could gargle with salt water. it will taste gross, but will help. cough drops are not a bad idea either.\n\nhope you get you voice back,\n\nLexa   :)

Drinking milk before I sing makes it a little scratchy, but what does it for me is screaming and gettin anger out in my music - do this a lot. It's not healthy for you voice, but it gives it a scratchy sound.\n\nAlso, I know this might sound stupid, but try singing with a scratchy voice. Just learn what it feels like and if you like what you hear continue to do it. \n\nYou might have some luck contacting some local punk/emo/metal bands and see what the singer does to enhance his/her voice.

I have been singing and performing since i was very young and could hold a good tune from a very young age.I don't think its just about holding a good tune though.Its also the sound that you produce when you are singing.At college i had a girl in my class who was fantastic at vocal warm ups,breath control and pitch perfect however her sound was awful.However a guy who started the course as an average singer.....after three years of working hiss ass off he got a record contract!!!Its good to stick in and believe in yourself.Work with different styles of singing to see what suits you most.See what ranges your voice suits singing in.There's no point singing a song that's really high if it doesn't suit your own sound.There are loads of singers out there who didn't start out good and wanted fame that bad that they are up there with the rest of the stars.Remember to enjoy what you are singing and maybe one day you will be up there too!!!Love Louxxx

If you're still going through puberty, then your voice may still be "cracking".\n\nIf you're past puberty, then try speaking from your diaphram.  If you project from your throat, then your voice will be weak.  Practice speaking while flexing your abs, as if you're pushing out your voice from your stomach.  Do it forcefully so that you're loud.  Once you master this, you can project a deeper voice without being excessively loud.\n\nHave you ever taken Karate?  If so, then it is just like the Kiai yell.\n\nAnd if you have a naturally high voice, then there's nothing wrong with that.  It doesn't mean you're gay or straight.

No, if you cannot accurately hear how you sound (which is what "tone deaf" means), you cannot be a good singer.  But you can be an enthusiastic singer nonetheless, like me!

I would not sing with a throat like that if I were you. Your entire instrument will be off and you do run risk of hurting yourself. Take it easy and get better, then you can sing.

Same as you - I'd love to be able to sing. I don't want to be famous or anything, but I'd love to have a nice singing voice.
