#SingOutDay
Do you have stage fright?
I do! And it has only gotten worse over the last few years.
You see, I love to sing. If I think no one is listening, I sing my fool heart out! I come from a very musical family. Almost everyone in my immediate family can either play an instrument, sing or even do both! A few of them have even been in various bands, performing across the country. I, on the other hand, never gained enough confidence to get out there and sing… Unless someone was with me.
When I was little, I joined the school choir and absolutely loved it. Then when I was a young teen, I took vocal lessons at our local conservatory. I even performed at a few of the local music festivals. Each time I got on stage, my heart would race and I could hear the waver in my voice. Which only made it worse.
As an adult, I got on stage a few times with my parents, mostly doing duets. There was even had one song that I would occasionally sing solo, but I had to have my step-father on stage as well to play the guitar.
I love that I have the ability to feel the song, especially when I sing along. But I can’t seem to get out of my head, worrying about what others are thinking. Worst yet, thinking that they will tell me I did good, out of pitty, but really it was bad. Sadly, these thoughts only get worse the longer you go without practice.
Today is Sing Out Day. Who will sing without a care today? Crank your tunes and sing your heart out! Sing in the shower, while you get ready for work, or even on your way to work! Sing while you’re washing the dishes, doing the laundry, or cleaning the house. Just sing, have fun, and don’t worry about what anyone else is thinking! I know you can do it!
