How easy would it be to learn to sing?

Dont worry about not being able to read music, thats easy to get around. \n\nIts not particularly hard to learn to sing properly, if you have a decent voice to begin with. Bare in mind that if your vocal chords simply aren't capable of holding a note, then all the technique training in the world will only make you mediocre at best. Most people cant sing well, its quite normal!

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.

Well...you have to be able to sing...and if you can't sing, eh...try something else.\n\nPersonally, I've accepted every offer I've been given when it comes to music, even if I wasn't too excited about it. I've done opera, musicals, simple party performances, and other stuff...

You got to have the talent to sing first. Then, practice every day for at least 15 minutes to start, then, as your voice gets stronger, start lenthening your practice time till you get to an hour a day. Have plenty of water available, as you will expell a lot of water while singing. Do not drink any dairy products before singing, as this coats your throat and makes singing very difficult. If you could join a chorus or choir, you could get a lot of practice from the director. I started in high school and now I own a karaoke and sing to trax tapes at church. If you want to do this professionally, such as be famous, you'll need bigger connections. But, it all starts with talent. If you don't have it, practicing will only make you sing louder, but not necessarily better. If you have people telling you that you've got a good voice, check with a professional, maybe the chorus teacher at your local school. See if he'll listen to you after school and give you his opinion. If you watch American Idol, I'm sure you've seen what those people go through to get to the top. It takes lots of hard work, and talent. Without talent, all you have is hard work and no one wants to watch someone work hard. It's hard on the ears. <*)))><

i think the answer is yes, not only because they say practice makes perfect but by singing regularly you will be able to stretch your vocal chords and also by consulting a good music teacher so you'll have some ideas or tips on how to sing rightfully...

Depends on the direction you want to take.  Are you going to be solo?  With a band?  Are you good?  Do you need singing lessons?, etc.

Burn a cd of your favorite songs to sing, put it on full blast in your car and belt your heart out! It also helps you to wake up in the morning (I always do it on my way to class)and instantly cheers you up no matter what just happened. You might have a better voice than you think, it just needs some training. Save up for voice lessons to boost your self-esteem and to do something fun.

Yes, believe it or not I heard that it could help... I am actually about to start taking vocal lessons too even though I can't sing worth anything... my mother used to be friends with a vocal instructer and she explained taht everyone could have beautifull good voices; it was just how it came out when you sang. For instance, I think that she said something about people who had bad voices usually weren't breathing the right way when they sang, or just weren't letting it some out loud enough... also Pink (the singers) mother used to be a horrible singer. But in a recent interview, Pink said that her mother had been taking vocal lessons and  she said that she was so good she sang at her wedding...\n\nhope this helps... if theres anything else click on my picture and  it has how you can contact me on there....\n\ndont listen to anyone until youve actually tried your hardest at these lessons ok? if you love doing it it'lll be worth it

You're best bet is to get a microphone and a recorder/recording software. Record yourself and fix what you know sounds bad. \n\nBut even before that, get yourself a teacher.Nothing helps more than having an experienced vocal teacher guide you through the steps, and practice your ass off. It sounds like you want to be a "superstar", and the only advice is that you get good while your young, hollywood is not kind to those old and ugly.

Voice training and lots of practice.  Sing within your voice range or you can cause alot of vocal damage.

This will sound really unhelpful... \npractice.\nThat's a skill than can only get better by doing it over and over again, if you don't already have a natural ability to do it.  People with perfect pitch can just find any note and sing through anything.  I suggest you sit yourself at a piano and just keep practicing and practicing.\nOh and also, learn your intervals! Ok maybe that's more important!  Intervals!  learn memory devices for each interval. Example.  "Mary Had a Little Lamb" for major 3rd\nthe NBC chimes for 6th, and so on

When I was very young, I practiced with a tape recorder. When I was fourteen, my Father bought my Mother an organ for their anniversary. I learned how to play it out of the instruction books that came with the organ.\n\nAt a flea market in Crosby, Ontario, a year later, I bought an old guitar for twenty bucks. I took classes with my Dad at the after-school program, and I practiced night and day. Within two months, I had passed the teacher.\n\nNonetheless, I was not a great guitar player, or a great singer. In Grade 13, I became enamoured with the blues, which I heard on late night Sunday radio.  I began to work at learning this style, and had started a bar band devoted to the blues within a couple of years. Though I was not a great singer, I had vocal range, and I worked at singing, too.\n\nWe got on the radio basically because our bass player was a promo hound - would not take no for an answer. At this point, I had become the group's sole singer. We started to explore beyond the limitations of blues by listening to, and then playing, things from the Stax/Motown era.\n\nWe got a horn section, and started playing some Tower of Power. We scrimped, saved, and planned, and stored up enough money to hit the studio, which we did in 1993. We put out a CD that year, recording the bed tracks in my parents' barn, and doing the horns and vocals in the studio.\n\nIn terms of developing vocal chops, here's what you do. Record yourself singing - a lot. Be a harsh critic of yourself. Don't give the recordings to a friend to judge, as they will feel they have to pump your ego - assume that everything you hear that makes you cringe is a real problem, and then work at it.\n\nVocal lessons can help as well - especially if you do not think you are a great judge of your own skill, an objective outside opinion helps. Plus, they will teach you how to breathe and read music, pretty useful skills for studio recordings.\n\nIn terms of business success - hustle mercilessly. Don't take no for an answer. Promote yourself constantly.

It supposed to be really easy. Try looking in Yahoo search for a book on it.

I am a studio musician (have been for 35 years).. but don't understand your question...\nYou want to be a singer... well there are so many variables in your question (OR LACK there of)...\nI along with ANYONE here that would honestly think about helping you would need to know answers to SEVERAL questions which you've not addressed.\n\n1). How old are you.. \n2). Do you have a demo, \n3).Do you have any ANY experience singing in front of people... \n4) Do you have any formal training (if not THATS where I'd suggest you start... via vocal lessons)\n5). Have you even even been to a recording studio\n6). What are your aspirations\n7). Have you ever been to or participated in a Karaoke event\n8). Do YOU think you can sing\n9). Do OTHERS think you can sing (NOT just your friends or relatives)\n10). If you DO have a demo... did you sign up for a BAND site at myspcae and get feedback from the general populace about your vocal abilities\n11)...the list goes on and on and on...\nUnderstand that you can't possibly expect anyone to give you any sort of USEFUL advice unless you ask your question in as much detail as you can\n\nIF I were to say....\nI want to be a race car driver... I visited the NASCAR website and noone will help me be a racecar driver.......you see how stupid the question sounds when worded like that????

aside from taking singing lessons, you should look up information on breathing techniques.  Learn warm up vocal exercises and scales.  All of these exercises will help to strengthen you voice.

Absolutely i have been singign for 10 yrs and i still struggle with wantnig to soudn liek me and not liek someone else, im a singer not an impersonator. The best advice i can give you is to not think just feel sometimes we are not far enough removed frmo our own stuff that we fail to see how individual our creativness is, gte some other ppls opinions u mith be surprised.and lastly play from your heart and soul u can never go wrong find yrou strong points muscially and develope yoru style around them and dont forget to add yor own little quirks like a breaknig in yrou voice if u sing these little things may seem liek imperfections but they can somtemis be detrimental to yrou style. Cheers and good luck with it.

This usually requires professional help.  It is not something to tackle on your own.\nIn the mean time, sing... singing uses a different part of the brain.
