yesterday evening I went to a friend's house which we ate together dinner. After our dinner we had a videoke. My friends are all enjoying singing showing their talents out loud that everybody can hear. Unfortunately, I was just sitting there and trying to cheer or choose what will be the music to be sang. Do you want to know why? Because since then I know for the fact that I don't have the gift of voice... Not even a single...Like if I try to sing it will only destroy the song. I wanted to learn how to sing a song. I am not saying to have a good voice but I just want to learn it. Is it possible for me to learn how to sing and build my confidence that I am in the right tune of the song?? or there's nothing I can do about it??

For practice it is ok. But if u really want to learn singing for the sake of singing then u can better take coaching right from the beginning of music -- in India we have carnatic music, hindustani music--may be u will have different type of music in ur place. learn that properly and u can also improve singing by practice along with tune.
have a good day.

Thanks also. Yeah I am a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Nursing but that's the saddest thing I ever did to my life not practicing the profession I finished. I work as a Customer Center Representative in a call center that's an American based company. Most job that I experienced are related to sales. :)

As the saying goes "Pratice makes perfect". Here in the Philippines we do have a lot of type of songs which we enjoy them singing, or listening with those type of songs. For as long as we love hearing them unlimited we can listen them. I would start my day practicing those simple ones and never stop on believing that I can do it.hehehhe...

Hie Janefatima no need to worry if you are not having a good melodious voice in singing that doesn't mean you cannot sing. Well probably if you want to sing you need to know the voice modulation and vocals that are been sang to sing accordingly to that. You can start by practicing some songs such as take any simple song listen to song many times learn the lyrics and then try to intimate accordingly see their pitches high and low dont worry in the begging everything will get worse and you will think just try quieting singing but here is the challenge if you practice everyday for just an hour iam sure you will reap the benefits from it. You will sing nice without a good voice and inturn this will also help you confidence to grow.

Thanks so much for helping me to built my confidence. I believe that if only I can have constant practice in singing I might enhance or polish myself for me to be able to sing although not perfectly but in a very nice way for other people might hear.heheheh.. Once again thank you so much. Take care.

Welcome to Mylot Jane! I am a musician, particurly a singer. The gift of voice is not showered to all people but there are those who may not have the voice but sure have the ears. If you can follow a simple tune consistently, then i can say that you can sing. You just need to have a patient teacher.

Thank you so much. You are so lucky to be given with that gift-- The gift of voice. Thats why if you have that gift always use it and share it to everybody. I will just try my very best to learn to sing some simple songs and maybe try to find a patient teacher for me to be able to sing those simple ones. Thank you once again.

There are some people who are good listeners and admit that they can't sing because they know they can't do it. Maybe you're like them. I admire people like you, unlike others who are trying hard to sing, but obviously sounds terrible! I think people like still will learn to sing. Just keep on practicing. And instead of just listening to your friends, try to sing simple songs first. At home, why not practice one simple song, so that you'll be prepared on parties. Have a nice day!

You are absolutely right. I am one of the people who love the song but the song doesn't love me so much..LOL...:) I keep on practicing since then unfortunately when I tried to record it well... you can really say it is really a bad song that a singer sang..hahhaa.... But up until now I never stop on dreaming that someday I can sing even just the most simple one. Have a nice day..:)

Don't be shy! Videoke or karaoke have always been about having fun, not who is better at singing. Though there will always be some one who everyone notices as a good singer, in the end everyone will have fun.
Have fun and sing, you don't have to sing at the perfect note that the artist in the song did on the choice of your music. Just sing and let it out. Also if you do not really want to sing at these things, try to talk with a melody if your the one singing. It's a way to trick everyone you are singing. Also try to sing with a deeper-ish voice but not manly voice.
But I suggest you have fun.
cheers

I always been a shy type person. huhuhuh..... You made me realized now that in order for me to enjoy the parties that I might go and for me also to enjoy I need to let things out.hehehhe..... It now cross in my mind that I'll probably sing those songs that might fit to me so that I can be able to release the things that I wish since then.heheheh... Thank you.
