Whether you want to become a major producer/singer-songwriter or you just enjoy the art of singing, you’ll want to record yourself when you feel ready. These tapes don’t need to be for anyone but you, so don’t be shy! Use whatever you have–your phone will do just fine–and record yourself singing a hit single by someone else. Then, give it a listen. How does it sound? Make sure you’re honest with yourself, because lying won’t get you anywhere.
