Perhaps a different perspective: I don't think I can sing and nobody is ever going to hear me sing. Right from a very early age, primary school, I did not like being made to sing with the rest of the class. A few years ago at a night with a lot of singers present the host asked me to sing. I told her I wouldn't, couldn't and didn't want to. She was slightly taken aback I think and maybe a bit insulted by my refusal and continued on for five minutes to get me to sing. That sort of thing makes me Very Uncomfortable and I wish people would not do that. I enjoy listening to (solo) singers a lot. But please realise not everybody has the desire to be a singer or harbours a wish to sing in public.
