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
