I love singing, alone. I like singing well alone, I hate singing in public, I hate singing when my parents are home exclusively. I don't know why or authority figures. I get so anxious my voice clams up subconsciously out of anxiety. It gets difficult to sing and it's why I don't like doing it. I get too nervous, I know I'm good at it. I do have some control and some practice in for quite a long while. I just never like showing it. I get laughed at.

Why this bothers me? Never really understood it, I don't like feeling humiliated for being vulnerable is my closest guest. If I could really be more outgoing in this manner I'd take it immediately knowing how to do it alright on my own.

I only like singing when I really feel I connect with the vocalist or song. It's not often, but my vocal range is alto soprano ish for a male it's weird. I want to sing in my recordings of my produced tracks and just do that. I love to be my own artist doing that instead of being a "DJ/Producer". I make amazing tracks, but that freedom OMG it would be awesome to always make my own songs that came from me 100%. I am sick of doing remix's of other vocals.

I sometimes either my vocals change dialect. Like my voice kinda gets all west london or australian tonality. I don't know why.

what might help is showing your parents a recording you've done or song you've recorded.
you won't be singing live and it would be a great way for you to show them your talent.

you might feel less nervous singing in front of them next time if they know you have a gift and if you know they've heard you before.

can take it from there, doing the same for friends and building the confidence to sing in public eventually.
step by step i guess
- showing recording to parents
- singing parts of the same recording to parents
- singing/practising at home more often
- doing the same thing for friends

best of luck.

Could it be stage fright?

Oh I remember when an art teacher at school made me sing in front of the whole class.Just like that, out of the blue... Get up and sing!

I was 11... Oh boy, I still shiver when I think of that sometimes. To make it worse, it was only a couple of months since I started at that school (yeah, my family was always on the move when I was a kid, so...)

I remember it didn't go as bad as I thought it would, but damn... the anticipation and the fear of rejection building up... that was hard to break through all those negative feelings.

I guess that what I am tryng to say is... once you manage to conquer those feelings, you'll be fine.

My mother once told me to cut out singing when I was a child. I've been terrified to sing in front of anyone - not even humming a bar. Even my own national anthem I am too anxious to publically sing. Instead I mouth the words silently.

Have you ever tried singing as part of a choir? This may give you the experience of singing in public in a situation where you aren't alone; this would loosen any grip stage fright/social anxiety may have on you. (I'm in my ninth year singing with a local choir and I enjoy it hugely.)

I did when I was young didn't like it at all at the time. Even though I was told I was good I just chose to hide it intentionally and won't sing at all. It was kinda weird why I was doing that.

It's because I get too vulnerable and subconsciously since ever I start crying my eyes out from singing if I did well or I really enjoyed it to a song I like. I'm confident in every other aspect in my life, but this one has been a difficult journey. I tried today vocal exercises of breathing in and yawning to help with the anxiety.

I've noticed my accent changes more my native tone of a UK sound. It's like the opposite of Ed Sheeran. I don't know why. It does that sometimes, and also I like singing a lot more artists, mainly edm, alt rock, pop punk, post hardcore clean vocals, and some pop related tracks I also really like the weekend's voice a lot too.

Some people love being the center of attention, some hate it. I hate it. Stage fright, performance anxiety, whatever you want to call it. Many performers have it even after years or decades of performing in public.

I know that doesn't make what you feel any better, but there are many who feel the same way.

I've been singing my whole life. I'm a soprano. Also self taught in light classical / theatrical / opera music. I have sung for crowds and don't have a problem with it, but certainly do know the feeling of not being good enough. I recently sang at my grandmother's funeral. But not all alone, I sang along on a CD.

I have recently been given a sort of opportunity to join a choir. But I am so individual and so enjoy doing my own thing that I don't really want to. Also, am I really good enough?

So yes, I can understand.

I love singing too! I was in a school choir once when I was like 13 and the teacher kept telling me i was singing wrong...every time i went to class she would say i was singing through my nose..I would get embarrassed and frustrated and so disappointed that I couldnt understand what she was talking about. Plus im a girl and she told me i was an alto and all the girls were soprano (not a fun experience) ....I felt the like I heard myself singing the way she wanted but she would ALWAYS claim i was nasally . It destroyed my singing confidence forever. To this day i still cant tell if im singing "wrong" and it eats at me because if i knew I was any good I would devote my life to it but im so scared that im secretly horrible that i just avoid singing around basically everyone. My mom and Bf hear me sing but i get mixed reviews lol. Maybe they dont want to hurt my feelings. But i Love love love the feeling of singing and the art of it but again...I dont know if i'm any good and if im not than why waist my time :/...So glad you brought this up thanks i needed to talk about that, its so important to me.

I can actually carry a tune, and I think with some practice I could be a good singer, but I just can't bring myself to do it, even when I'm by myself.
