Spleen Gringe: I like movies, too, but unlike you, I reckon I could make one! Why, because in the course of watching movies I have studied the great movie makers' techniques and thought a great deal about the processes involved in making movies. Now, the same thing is true about singing. I haven't any formal singing lessons but I have studied singers and thought about my singing. Learning to play an instrument does, however, take more of an initial effort - and a certain commitment and dedication - and a resolve to find the time to reach a particular standard.
