Dear Clint Torres, you are right about it being the wrong question. Let me rephrase - will I be able to improve my voice to a level deemed acceptable or even good by my listeners? I ask because I write poems and songs, which others consider to be of quality, but I would like to sing them as well while I play guitar. The singing part is something I doubt others would enjoy

The reason why I sang silently is what you have said, also correctly - I don't know how to let my voice go and how to keep that tone while also keeping strength and expression. It seems as though I can only sing decently when I sing silently or, as you have said, as if I'm in a church

To summarise, are you saying that I do have potential to one day be an okay, listenable singer?

A wonderful rendition of a wonderful song. I like the tone of your voice, very fitting for traditional pop, I would say.

Surely, you jest? I was expecting comments like "please never open your mouth again". This positively surprised me. I always wanted to sing, but also thought I was hopeless. You are not just being kind?

Dear forum members, I'm not a singer and probably never wll be, but with a glimmer of hope, I ask of you to tell me completely honestly - is my voice manageable or should I completely give up singing? Should I take vocal lessons and possibly one day be an okay singer or should I just forget it? Thank you!
