being a good singer, being able to make people happy with it even more is a great gift...

Stage fright sucks, I love to act myself (comedy), but it took me so long to find the heart to join a group doing that, just because I was shy/ frightened/ idk...

I don´t know, maybe you should just try smaller audience you already know (family, good friends, just a few people you really do know, you trust), that could maybe help you get over it, or build a bit more self-convidence for your gigs?

Maybe so, I think I will try that and eventually sing for lots of people!

I had a similar issue at one point... I had a brilliant singing voice, but I ended up going no-where with it and giving up... mind you, I didn't have stage fright until someone told me I was singing off key... Which I really shouldn't have paid attention to because I was making it up as I went along, so they couldn't have heard it before...

Now I've lost my touch... I can't sing in-key anymore, and I regret not pursuing my talents further...

Now I'm stuck... I don't know what job to do, and I'm worried about missed opportunities... I'm miserable I tell you!

Then, why not start again? If you want, we can sing together. I wouldn't mind helping if I could.
