Thread Name: Criticism at singarounds
Subject: RE: Criticism at singarounds
I did once ask an obviously really nervous new singer to sing with me, and asked if they wouldn't mind singing lower as I just don't have a soprano range.

She was trying to sing so high - out of nerves I think, that she struggling to reach two or three notes, which strained her voice and affected the volume too.

If you can guide rather than criticise it builds up confidence rather than reduces it.
