Skipy, I was so scared the first time I went to see a voice teacher, I could not even sing for her... I took a cassette tape of me singing and played it for her instead, asking, Is it a waste of our time for me to take singing lessons from you.

The thing is, once you learn more vocal skills, the more confidence you have, the better you sound... it just keeps building up better and better over time. If you can find a teacher, that will help to build your confidence to sing in public for others.
