What question are you hoping someone doesn't ask because it is too hard to answer?

To get good at singing you really have to record yourself. I recommend a free app called Sing! Karaoke by Smule. It's compatible with iphone, ipad or android devices. With the free account you can only sing duets but I think you can specify "duet" and then just sing the whole song yourself. Its free so its worth a try anyway. :) And when you're learning you don't have to sing whole songs. You can just concentrate on one line or one verse. :)

Also, the best singing advice I've found online are from these channels on youtube, but there are others too:

Oh and the most important singing tip I can give you is.... sing softly. Sort of like you're singing a baby to sleep. It really works. :rolleyes:

@Re:Zero(ZT) (^_~ Thank you, anime, for giving me another nick alongside ZT... It's like Christmas, but for nicknames!)

So, I can ask you anything, eh? Hmm...

What's the best thing(s) you've ever done?
What's the worst things(s) you've ever done?
What the most embarrassing thing(s) you've ever done?

As a *once* semi-professional singer, I can tell you... Singing quietly is stinkin' hard! You have to have a good voice and excellent breath control to sing well softly.

Not like whispering, but singing with low volume. It helped me a lot and some of the voice coaches on youtube say that's what beginners should do (don't try for volume/belting).

I mentioned in the OP that I wouldn't answer questions of a personal nature, but I'll answer these..

1) Best thing I ever did was to lose 30lbs. It was back in 2000 and it literally changed everything... how I felt... how others treated me.. how clothes fit.. how good I looked :p ...and the best part is I didn't have to hold my stomach in anymore! :rolleyes: If you saw that pic of the younger me that I posted in streams about a month ago, that was me at that time.

2) The worst thing I did was gain about 50lbs during a 2 year long bout of depression. :( That was about 10 years ago and although at some points I had lost up to 25lbs, I still gained it back and I'm still only a few pounds under my highest weight. :(

3) I really can't remember anything embarassing that I've done. I guess one thing that stands out is when I had my honda crx I took it to a drag strip thinking it was going to be kind of fast and in front of a big crowd I raced down the 1/4 mile and ended up getting a 17 second run. :( That's like what a stock honda civic sedan would do back then. At that time there were a lot of fast crx's so that made it more embarassing.

"Why are christian singles underrating the devils ambition?" :p

I would have put an apostrophe in "devil's" but the original didn't have one. Things that make us (sic.)
