Hi Some great advice from Will. Just keep going and nobody will know you are struggling. I can remember once when I was guesting solo in a folk club, to my surprise I spotted a guy in the audience whose song I was starting to sing. As I started for some reason I just could not find the melody. I sang his song word perfect but to a completely different tune that I made up as I went along. I felt embarrassed but At the end of the evening the guy came over and bought me a drink and complemented me on my " arrangement of his song. I did not tell him the truth of the matter.!!! I never really ever felt like giving up singing but nature played a trick on me by inflicting me with throat cancer. While at first this prevented me from singing at all; treatment removed the cancer with part of my voice-box with it. But I have been able to manage to sing with-in my limits but obviously not in any professional ( paid) way. So dismiss your doubts and think positively. More practice perhaps?? This will increase your confidence in you performances. Regards MikeL2
