I was wondering, can you truely evaluate your own singing or do you need other people to "truely" tell you where you are??
I've seen people that could blow say they aren't all that good and I've heard people that can't really sing think they can sing, so what do you think??
-
I'm very modest when it comes to me, especially singing. I hold my own, but I don't feel I'm where I want/need to be. If I had some formal training I think I'd be a lil' better. ;)

I'm right there wit ya, Lyric. As a matter of fact, I need to send an email right now. :D

yeah, i'm modest about my singing too. and i always think that others are better than me although people say i have a beautiful voice.
and i do think singers need to hear what others have to say about their singing. i have heard some people that were not so good hold up what they got with all confidence :)
-
my singing is lousy although there are rare moments when I seem to have a voice
a tape recorder is the best evaluator '
can you say MEMOREX
I AGREE...

Yes you can evaluate yourself to the point that you can tape yourself and see where you are at. Now remember you are your worse ememy, so try to be fair to yourself. Bishop Cole

I knew I could sing before anyone else did. I would hear some people sing and know that I could rip them to pieces if I sang it. However, I am modest when it comes to singing. I'm not going to say that I will rip it up because most of the time its gospel and I don't know what the Spirit will do. And also I don't feel that I've reached my full potential yet.
-
Well, I think that I'm a bad judge of my own singing, because there are times when I think I sound terrible, and people say that I sounded great. I usually don't think that I can sing, and maybe every once in a while, I'll hit an awesome note, and then say ok, ok, you can sing. I really do love the Memorex, cuz they don't lie.

I with you silky. People say you did a great job but a lot of times I don't feel that way. I just do my best and sing to the glory of God!!

You might be able to evaluate yourself, but its always to get a second opinion. Most people who can stay in tune think they can sing, even if they have horrible tone quality. When i go into voice lessons i song Ab's and A's and i think they sound horrible, but my voice teacher, who is a trained, professional opra singer, says it sound exactly how its supposed to sound. So..... i think that to progress in your singing ability it is def. better not to rely on urself.

I'm not sure about where I am really. I mean, i know that i can sing, but I am NO WHERE near where i want/need/or should be. people are amazed because i have such a big voice and i am very small, but i want to be known for more than that. its kinda hard these days, there are a lot of great singers out there and a lot of competition to go along with it.
-
well my i suggest getting on my level

It's strange to hear an average singer brag about their singing ability. It's like they don't hear what everyone else is hearing.
I am realistic when it comes to my own singing. I know I have a very good singing voice and I hope it only gets better as I get older. I'm one of only 7 lead singers in my choir and we have over 100 choir members and everyone in the choir has to audition and be able to sing well.
I do think most folks can be taught to be an average singer, if they have a good voice teacher....we have many famous gospel singers that are average singers. Not everyone in Gospel music can blow.

All I can say is I do it as unto the Lord. Not being deep but the world is full of opinons. All of them are right and all of them are wrong as well. You can ask God to help you perfect your gift and he will. I'm after the annointing when I sing. That is what destoys the yokes. Within myself I dont think I sing well at all but it never fails every Sunday somebody will come up and say I enjoyed you today and that is enough for me. What I do knwo is I'm no Daryl Coley ( my mentor) Whew!!! But I press toward tht mark.
Hey which reminds me.. My Album is coming this Summer
chek it out well snippets at http://www.myspace.com/michaelaverydomdps
I'm in the writing stages but stop in from time to time and check the progress

I think I am pretty good at what I do. God has blessed me with a voice and an ear for parts. People tell me I have a beautiful voice and that I bless them everytime I sing. But, I dont feel that way when I am singing. There are sometimes where I think to myself like man I really ripped it but most of the time its like...........I was ok. I can't stand to listen to my own voice on a recording. It don't sound the same and that annoys the mess out of me.
I think I sing better when I am by myself. I play with the song more. I hold back when I am at church, unfortunatly. I have this thing where I dont want others to feel that I am showing off. Dont get me wrong, there are times where I just go for it, but then there's the times where I dont sing where I know I can. But, I am getting a lot better now and just using the gift that God gave me to best of my ability. I am not shy too much anymore.
But anyway, I think I have a wonderful voice. God Bless Y'all.
Smooches!!

I am so hard on myself. I always think I could have done a song better. I am asked often to sing at different functions and can't understand why, lol. I see nothing special about my voice. I know I have a good voice but not worthy of the attention that I get. I know it's for the Lord so I try not to worry about it to much. But I'll also admit that if I want to do a song a certain way then I don't stop until I get it the way I want it. And at the same time I know it kind of takes away from the purpose of sing gospel. At the same time I feel like if I don't practice a song until I'm comfortable with it and I'm feeling it then who will it touch????
I have also heard people that don't sound good but put a lot of heart and soul into it.
-
To myself, I am an average singer. I wouldn't say American Idol, but I am ok.
-
im hard onmy self as well i would say im ok i see places were i should me better but ill work on it. i really focus on the drums but any time i get i sing its a black thang ;)
-
hi there,
it is good to be modest,but be modest and still be confident.witout confidence i do not think anyone can survive in the singing business.singing is not just about voice ,it is also about how you carry yourself.
so it is an holistic thing that speaks to people,not only voice.
yet,voice is the first and most obvious thing people sees,so it may be the main instrument ,but not all.

WELL I CONSIDER MYSELF AN "ALRIGHT SINGER". I'VE ONLY LED A FEW SONGS IN MA LIFETIME. I'M CONSIDERED MORE AS A STRONG TENOR FOR THE CHOIR THOUGH CAUSE I'M "LOUD" (IS THAT GOOD OR BAD, NEVA MIND).
BUT I DO AIGHT!
-
I like the way I sing but I could be better. Criticism has been nothing but a motivator for me. I can do a few things w/ my voice others can't but I know I haven't figured it all out. I like to learn from everyone and mimick as much as I can. The harshest reviews I get are from myself but by evaluating my own singing and not despising others comments I am much further along today than I was yesterday.

hey
im wit da otha sista on that one. use a tape recorder. it helps me out a lot,especially when it comes to teaching my choir a new song. just rememba that you are singing to the glory of God,rather if you get evaluated by person or thing. its what your heart brings to your voice. cuz some people can sing like an angel ,but the spirit not move you to the place of worship. the anointing destroys every yolk of bondage and doubt and fear. Let the anointing move you,you know what the anointing is your evaluator,boy let me get off here for i start preaching this morning. my god,my god,glory to god. i just feel like giving god some praise dis morning how bout you?
-
;D well i have been told i'am a great singer but sometimes i feel that i know i god do better like learning to use my fuales satual when doing solo's and learing music terms like riffs and etc. but i agree with the tape recorde but also try to do some stuff that involes other things such as adklivebing in songs and listing to other but close relative music like blues and jazz notes and rythm that u could incoporate into to gospel. :P
-
I'onno.... I get a lot of that where people want to say they can sing and can't.... and then vice versa.... Scares me cause the vocally impaired people always say that God gave them that voice... then my question would be, yeah, but are you sure He said to use it this way??? I think that the people who can sing and down play themselves is 2-fold... Either they are modest and humbling themselves, or they know that they can blow, and they just want to hear a person keep telling them they can, so they can say the can't... But I think that anything to the glory of God is acceptable. .... A persons attitude can make a big diff... I sweet spirited, holy and anointed person with no vocals sounds a lot better than an over confident, arrogant talented gifted person...
-
I know that I can make more than a joyful noise; but I do stay yielded to the holy ghost. He makes up for what I think I can't do.
-
I agree with Bishopcole, tape yourself,and be very truthful,with yourself, and you should be able to tell where you are.
I gave this same advise to my wife,it really helped her alot.She's not were she wants to be,but she's trying real hard,with the truth of were she is now.
I'de like to see us do a duet in the near future...
i'm modest too,i know i can hold my own,but i don't get big headed,because i know for who,and why i sing.
