Well, frequently I've sung to myself while driving--for example in 1972 in my VW microbus with no radio all the way to San Francisco...

But vocalists are the one kind of musician that needs a teacher. That's because you can't hear your own voice as others hear it, you hear it from bone conductivity while others hear it with air conductivity. You can assess the difference by listening to a recording of yourself.

You can get to be a decent singer by just learning the fundamentals of breath, placement, and production (which also needs a teacher, but only for maybe a dozen lessons) and then by singing whenever you can. But you'll be more the Jerry Garcia type of vocalist than the Robert Plant type of vocalist, a guy whose voice may be inoffensive but not really impressive.

find a new career buddy

obviouly you like music. take up an instrument maybe. unless your trying to impress a girl. then sorry i got nothing. maybe if you try some voice excercises. try vocalizing alot . sing to some of your favorite songs and try to fix your errors.

my friend would practice singing with books on her chest(laying down)
and start singing
this helps ur breathing better during songs and trains u to not breathe so loudly. . . .
she sings really beautiful and serenaded me (just as friend to friend) goodluck

try rapping

the way you can sing then is through an instrament....its the same thing..(kinda) cause your basically singing through it. Its making the noise and your putting the air through and doing the fingerings.

EricArcenaux on youtube. If you are tone deaf you may never learn to sing. but if not his videos should help you.
