Singing (singer, band, Soprano, Alto, Countertenor)

Singing was definitely the hardest part of music for me to get into. Its pretty common that most singers hate the sound of their own voice whenever they hear it recorded the firs few times. I wasn't any different. I was extremely self-conscious. Growls and screams escaped me for the longest time, as well as having much of an ear for harmony. So, needless to say, I was pretty bad singer at first. I'd like to think that my abilities have improved.

I guess you could say that singing is kind of like sex. When you first start, it's fun and it feels awesome, until you realize how bad you are, and then it takes a while to rebuild that initial care-free confidence, which is a huge part of both - confidence.

this applies to every aspect of playing music.

i remember a friend of mine's gf stating that she liked watching people play music because it gave her a good idea of how they would be in bed hahaha
