Can I Sing?

By Ken Mercado


Singing competitions are on the rise. The ones shown on television have increased in popularity. The funny thing though is the featured contestants. Of course there are the exceptional talents. But there are also those that simply can't sing. What's more, it seems that they are unaware that they are unable to sing. Not only are they tone deaf but they seem to be so confident that they can sing when everybody else thinks otherwise.

Have you ever wondered and asked yourself "Can I sing?" Or perhaps you've had your share of dreaming of a professional singing career but have been withheld from pursuing it because of fear of humiliation and failure as preempted by uncertainty whether you have the talent or not?

Whether you are a an amateur at singing or advanced, you still need to be trained and retrained with the essentials of singing in order to bring out the best in you.

You can search online and find that there are various resources that offer singing lessons. Perhaps you've tried many of them but found that they haven't worked for you. Perhaps these sources have given you either wrong techniques or incomplete lessons.

It is a must that for you to consider in evaluating a resource is checking the author's background. Check to see if he or she does know what she's talking about. Check if he or she has background in singing and experience in the craft. Credibility of the author is very important.

Another criterion would be to see whether the site teaches the basics of singing before introducing advanced concepts. One cannot learn advanced methodology and techniques in singing without first learning the basics such as proper breathing, correct posture, and etc. These topics should be offered in the resource.

Do your research diligently on your source especially if a fee is required for you to get access to it. Beware of scams!
