A
You don't have to be a Grammy-award winner like Beyoncé to sing. Actually, it's a skill you can learn and practice.
Giveyourself permission to try
From the beginning, set your expectations in a reasonable place. Everybody can domusic--singing with kids or in a chorus. You play the guitar, but you needn't be a performer witha band.
Allow yourself to try without worrying about sounding “good" at first. Singing is a skill thattakes practice and time to develop.
Practice stretching your speaking voice to your singing voice
A few exercises help make that transition:
Take a speaking phrase and start to stretch it. Make it a positive one, like “My voice isstrong!” for the extra bonus of hearing some encouragement. While repeating the phrase, add someexcitement to your speech-that'll help you slide into singing naturally.
There are also many vocal(发声)exercises online.
