Well I thought I would share my first valuable lesson about singing on stage.
Firstly, Karokie is extremely over rated and can - if not handled properly -damage any bravery and passion you may have about singing.
(I though doing karokie would be the easy and cheepest way to aquire some expertise on performing. But singing into a microphone and trying to pick the starting key is not easy, not to mention the fact that I sound like micky mouse. The horror!!)
Secondly, Having friends say how wonderful you were when you know very well that all the neighbourhood dogs were gladly singing along with you, only adds to the overall enlightning experiance. Never again!
The solution?
- Have singing lessions. Simple.
This is my lession I have stored away in my growing knowlage of
performing. Kerokie does not pay!!

Hi Emma,

Having been a closet singer my whole life I had a recent experience at toward the end of a fairly large party where i had a reasonable amount of alcohol (did away with most of my nerves), and we came across a young lady who was a operatic singer with the WA Sympony I think.

After she sang for a while (Angellic voice) i decided to join in. She quickly stopped singing and said who was that. I eventually owned up to it.

From that point on i spent the next 6 hours singing with her and by myself in front of all my mates without being bashed which was amazing.

She mentioned that i was a Baritone?

She also gave me a fairly good rap saying that i could easily compete with any baritone here in Perth. May i say at this point this is all as per her opinion only. I have been singing too myself alot more and trying to get up the nerve to do something about it.

This is a New Years Resolution for me. Would you be able to help me in any way Please .

Thanks Craig
