Sometimes one of the most difficult steps to becoming a singer is being able to sing in front of others. Anyone can sing to themselves, no matter how good or bad they may be, but performing for a crowd, even if it’s just one, can be a game-changer. Singing in front of other people is difficult, as everyone has the same worries–forgetting the words, missing a note, simply sounding…well, not great.

Go to an open mic, sing with your friends or family, or join a group that’s focused on this one activity (more on that in a minute).
