I get really shy and get scared of being judged a lot. It makes it harder for me to let my voice out when singing.

[@alexios2669]

Same here

[@JournalofaWarriorsJourney]

I can TOTALLY relate! I lost a lot of years with that same mindset. If I can share one thing it’s to all of us to “own” who we are - who we have been made to be and if we love to sing then we need to sing. I had a wise woman give me some sage advice. She’s a successful songwriter in Nashville and she told me “I have something to say - so I need to say it.” Me too. 🙂 It helped snap me out of my cocoon 🦋 I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m on my way! I’m owning who I was made to be - not to sound like anyone else - but me and I have something to say (sing) ✌🏻

[@jonimaricruz1692]

I hear you. I hated my voice and was always sure people were laughing at me, so I never sang except by myself in the car. Then I said the heck with it and signed up for online lessons from a singing coach. He didn’t BS me and tell me I have a great voice or anything, and there aren’t any record companies breaking down my door, but after a few lessons I have confidence and reassurance from a pro that I can carry a tune. I’m still working on it, but I’m really enjoying it and have a lot more confidence. Give it a try, I highly recommend it. Good luck.

[@happy_zap]

Same same same with me🤧

[@vanessaperez4283]

That’s exactly what happens to me... it is like there’s a wall that keeps me restrained and my voice can’t come out...

[@666Lycan]

This always happens to me... I live not in my house.. I live in a guest house, i rent a room with my girlfriend... So whenever i start to practice singing, i subconsciously feel so embarrassed with other people in the other rooms... You can say am a sensitive and overthinker kind of person, always thinking about what other people think or feel, which is actually useless... Which effects my practice in my room.. My voice gets so tense and i can't hit high notes at all... Whenever my Girlfriend notices, she always says "Hey stop being so shy, stop giving a shit about people around you in the other rooms! Let it out! Let them hear your voice, your voice is good!" And i start to let it out, and VOILA! I can hit high notes easily again!

[@abigailmerritt5551]

I get to embarrassed to sing loud >o

[@prinzesa4163]

Abigail Merritt Same, when I’m alone by myself where no one can hear me I can sing loud but when I’m in front of people I’m just standing there with my hands in front of me looking down singing 😂

[@tangen4573]

Same

[@Washed1tzJaay]

get gud

[@krakaka8218]

This might push your confidence: Its more embarrasing to sound bad while holding back, then to sound better when letting go

[@carlapooh7492]

Yess same ..I feel embarrassed that someone may hear me and I subconsciously hold back when I sing

[@v020cm]

I never sing loud at home bc I know my family would tell me to shut up 😂

[@alexios2669]

Haha same here and mine will get all judgy

[@polykaylyrics6317]

Oath

[@alexios2669]

I think I'm the timid type. I just get so nervous. 😔

[@realSimoneCherie]

It took me months to break out of this. I’ve never been shy, but my parents worked night shift growing up, so daytime was their bedtime and I ALWAYS had to be quiet and not wake them. I loved singing and learned to belt, and use mixed voice by humming but it HURT me bad when I started performing bc I struggled to be heard over other voices. I thought they were loud as shit but it was me. It was the best way to improve my resonance though: when you know you can sing you don’t want to be drowned out, their loud mouths really pushed me to give it my all

[@Adelbert1309]

Been singing soft and holding back for years that my singing voice sounds better when it's soft than when I let it out. The vocal control is a lot better for me. As I was growing up, we are not allowed to make loud noises in the house so I had to work on what I can.

[@doodlegamer2798]

I’ve recently attempted to sing but hardly anything will come out. Maybe it’s because for my whole life I’ve been so quiet due to a fear of embarrassment if anyone hears me. I’ve never tried singing at all. I tried singing in the car when my mum left to go shipping for a couple of minutes, so I was alone. I took this opportunity to sing, but still nothing would come out. It’s as if I’m whispering while singing, I have a relatively deep voice so I can’t reach higher notes AT ALL. My voice is not powerful either, even when I try to sing louder.

[@kateissues]

If you breathe in and you feel your shoulders raise up while you breathe you're breathing wrong only thing you should feel move is your abdomen when you breathe in and out. Another thing you could be doing wrong is singing with the back of your throat with a narrow tense feeling. To correct this try singing more towards the front or center of your mouth, and make sure you don't tense your tongue up it should almost always sit behind your bottom teeth not all over the place.

[@bingbong6474]

At one point I just thought I was just bad and singing and could never change but ur vid just helps me believe there is a chance for me which makes me so happy. Thx u

[@alejandraferreyra3681]

This is exactly what my singing teacher told me today. Let your voice come out! Don't be shy. so funny to find your video on the same topic today.

[@andresn695]

maybe a sign. sorry a Year later lol

[@kseke25]

May be because you searched for the topic?

[@JournalofaWarriorsJourney]

Our music director has been known to have us walk around during our weekly masterclasses. For me, she has me waving my arms in the air because I struggle with being too tight in my shoulders. IT WORKS. I focus less on my sound (I’m focused more in the moving about) and my voice does much better when I don’t overthink it 😆🤪🤔

[@nela5141]

Oooh, It' so me! Thank you so much :)

[@luckycharm3401]

I'm scared of people hearing me and being judged cause i'm not good. My self esteem and confidence has a lot to do with it too i think. I dont even like listening to my own voice

[@scottkendall7789]

I want to let my voice out of it's cage but there are other people living in the house who don't like it when I sing. So, unfortunately, since I can't let it out, I am not making progress. Plus. when I do let my voice out all I do is shout and that's not good either.

[@user-yi5je3pr8m]

Thank you. You are an amazing teacher!

[@Rosannasfriend]

This is the topic I need!

[@redemptanyamanda5261]

You know what Freya, i need you,!!!

[@aneoliveira1464]

I love your channel 😍 It's helping me a lot!! Thanks! Love from Brazil ❤

[@renemuller6967]

Simple tip but it really helps me. Thank you.

[@najmussahar33]

Once again Freya Casey you are so amazing and helpful! With gratitude I cannot express I say thank you to you!

[@farrahnabi2513]

You are a great singing teacher and a lovely person

[@MsShutupndance]

thank you Freya you have a new subscriber :)

[@alexispoore6879]

Hey ferya I see results in my singing thank you for sharing your tips

[@twin_victim]

Legit, I needed this. Lol, God knows when to send me a new Freya Casey video about stepping out of your comfort zone. 😂

[@karinafuentes1661]

Thank you soooo much for this video, Freya!!! This is so me everytime I sing in front of my family even in just casual karaoke sessions. I've always been so uptight and my singing is very much affected, and then I would feel aweful afterwards, it sucks! It is really my dream to be able to open up and just be confident and to let loose when singing. Because singing, especially in karaoke is supposed to be fun and not a time for impressing people or proving to everyone how much of a singer you are.

[@EngraciaConAmbar]

Thank you Freya!

[@charles-cf1wt]

Very helpful video Thank you for sharing these usfeful tips

[@thiskidisdan979]

i must agree... i tried that technique for several times... but still this video is much better... keep up the good work ^_^ ♥♥♥

[@trashllama1845]

_Thank you so much_ I had been using my throat most my life, and when I stopped it was still a bit secluded, so this helped.

[@anuragrawat7908]

Mam I love your lesson I'm from India ☺️

[@andrewelliott3567]

Thank you.

[@neilbonavita8623]

thank you!! I generally have a big voice and presence and then when I sing my voice gets tiny from being afraid to be judged. Thank you for this. I think I need to start bringing my normal resonance and voice with me when I sing. I get it. Thank you Freya!!

[@_alt.bun_487]

Very Helpful!!!😭💕💕

[@Riarouge]

I know I can sing Loud songs like Adele songs I’m able to do it I do it but I’m always scared of my neighbours hearing me and I get really embarrassed I get really sad bc it’s like I hold back automatically

[@sujayanarula3913]

That's so true, I have noticed when I engage my body my voice sounds different and better. Also with every song it sounds and feels different😊 I do not have a typical singer's voice, I make do with what I have since am not a professional singer😄

[@asteriastars6757]

This- this is exactly what my problem when I'm singing.

[@jesicalima9303]

Uuugggh you are amazing😍😍 thank you.

[@bluegirl4471]

that was so helpfool:)♡

[@Euclidswrld]

Nobody has ever heard me sing because I’m so anxious about it, so I sing quietly and away from people

[@chelseadaley9770]

I always keep holding back at other times when I get very anxious all the time and my anxiety builds up in my head and sometimes I can't always seem to relax my mind and I completely shut down and other ppl can't always know what's really going

[@utcarsh1165]

Freya Casey ,you are the best teacher on earth, thanks 😊

[@thefreyacaseymusic]

Awww, thank you so much, your comment just made my day 💜

[@utcarsh1165]

I'm form asia, every day I'm improving my voice and experience alot, we are very thankful that you teach us for free

[@b1akn3ss93]

So yes

[@albertobigcal7650]

Awesome ☝️🎩🎸

[@newtoatheism5968]

I wouldn’t exactly say I’m shy I’m just not very confident

[@kittenclawsguitarvideos6147]

I will try this.my voice is weak, but I think it is because I have only sung 3 years, it takes longer to build the muscle

[@sandiprlahabar6087]

I need this...

[@katrinanordyke7359]

LET IT GOOOOOOO!! LET IT GOOOO! 🎶

[@raphtenxol3062]

great

[@ismiari4968]

😆 yaaa pls teach meee i am introvert and been struggling to even just speak

[@ToonMageChannel]

I don't want to let it out when I'm singing because I will be judged by my mother that I am just shouting. If I let it out, my voice becomes loud.

[@Domini.singer]

I love u

[@guest1921]

I have always had a feeling that i have a beautiful voice for singing. But my voice is just too sweet, mellow like baby spice from the spice girls. Not powerful enough to hit high notes cause im just too shy to let it out. I hold it back and thats why im so out of tune. What is the link to your facebook group?

[@bebltsmiranda2127]

When trying to reach higher note it strains and its a shame to have it and discourage

[@tokensharma3738]

The second group. ✊😔

[@reginanyambo3059]

Just listening to you say let go, gave me anxiety.

[@kairitkolk6641]

It's very difficult to learn classical singing with no teacher, in an apartment and with anxiety...

[@priyanshibhattacharjee3789]

yes that yelling exercise, my teacher also made me do that, omg that was so embarrassing 😂 that too it was our first meet. And as I was trying to make the yelling sound, my parents were also their, so my mum said, " no she yells even louder " 😂 and was so mad at her😂😂😂

[@sofiatripodi3265]

I'm an outgoing person yet I cannot sing with emotion or out loud really anywhere because the sound just doesn't come out... yay :(

[@savvannahhmariiee]

i really used to never care about singing loud and wasnt embarrassed of my voice. but over the years ive had alot of throat issues and and my voice has seem to get weaker and sound different, it's not as easy for me to sing effortlessly like i used to. my question is will i ever be able to sing loudly and as easily again ?

[@mercynkatha5661]

Freya you are doing a good job....can i please catch up with u online .i need close monitoring of my voice.how is this gonna happen.kindly.MERCY REHEMAH

[@4evero3]

So what if I have cold,heavy or rough yet child like voice whenever I sing a little high pitches?

[@neko5897]

I really can't my body is holding back maybe it's because i always get slapped everytime i raised my voice i feel my heart is gonna explode

[@jpierce8148]

my voice is too loud even with some confidence, I just feel not as loud as someone who cant really sing but theyre just louder

[@eliamhernandez2165]

Meeeee

[@eeriikkaawaagneer4268]

thanks for the wonderful tips Freya. how about people like me ,I am afraid of, if I sing too loud and my neighbour will hear it and laugh at me?

[@aneoliveira1464]

Eeriikkaa Waagneer Don't mind about that. I used to be afraid of it too but now I just don't care about who's listening or laughing at me. My brother used to laugh and say things like "you never gonna make It" "Your singing Voice is really bad" and "you sound like a Crazy" but now he says that i'm really better and my voice is getting great. So don't hold back and don't give up because of that.

[@aneoliveira1464]

Just sing loud if you want to and have fun!

[@eeriikkaawaagneer4268]

Ane Olive thanks for the encouragement. I will practice it. My sister said many years ago, that I sounded like a ghost and asked me to stopped it. It effects me until today. You see I have a very high soprano voice

[@eeriikkaawaagneer4268]

Hei Freya I wanted to ask if I hold back with my voice especially with the high notes, then would it damage my vocals and voice? Thanks a lot

[@jessicavanrooyen85]

Eeriikkaa Waagneer , Hi ...i know im not Freya 😁 but yes * by holding back, youre mussels is tight and your nech also , it scratshes your vocals because you are forsing out a high note

[@eeriikkaawaagneer4268]

Jessica Van Rooyen thanks for your answer

[@kseke25]

My voice is too small.

[@Mz_Cici21508]

How can I let my voice go without coughing is my question

[@dreamyforarii40]

I can’t even sing in my basement bc not I get anxious, I was singing loud in my basement, my sister snuck in the basement and came down and laughed at me

[@alexalvarez5532]

When I take a breath where in my torso do I aim it? Please help I feel like I can't take enough air for the next phrase of a song! Also I cant contain the breath I feel like I use it up quickly and it leaves my body.
