Why Can't I Sing Well? by Chong HY

Wonder why some peoples can sing so well but not you? Don't feel bad about it if your parents did not give you that talent. You may still excel in some other areas. Singing capability is not something that can be trained. Of course, by practicing regularly your singing skill will definitely be improved sooner or later, more or less. But you will never make it to the level like a born singer. What I mean "born singer" is the one who can sing confidently and he or she feels comfortable when singing. To a born singer, singing is as easy as talking. To me, Mariah Carey is one of the great examples of a born singer. However, born singer does need practice in order to improve themselves. Nowadays, there are many less talented singer but made superstar by the recording firm after commercially packaged. These peoples are usually having other kind of charisma in them for example, handsome or can dance very well.

So, what can you do if you are not a born singer but eager to be a singer? It is possible with today's technology where recorded sound can be edited. Today's' music composers are very good in their production; they can make use of the computer software to "touch up" your pitch and make use of the sound from other musical instrument to cover any shortfall, wherever it is. So, everybody can be a singer nowadays! If you are not good in singing, you will have more work to do. Go get a good singing instructor plus practice harder to improve; the rest is just your destiny. Pray hard that a talent scout will spot you one day.

Let's take a look at this video clip of another great born singer. She is Connie Talbot. She is only 6 years old, her singing is fantastic. This clip received nearly 10 million viewers for the past 3 months.
