As you start to develop your voice, you may feel an inner calling to sing in a church, choir, or with a group of friends. We live in a time where most people feel lonely, even with the rise of social media. Developing your breath capacity will strengthen your voice. If you are lonely and want to connect with other people, singing in a group will automatically cause you to interact with people. I encourage you to get out of the house, find a karaoke meet-up group and sing your heart out. You will become better at expressing your individuality using your unique voice and developing confidence to express yourself in front of strangers. If singing in front of a stranger is too nerve-racking, sing in front of your friends. You can feel relaxed because your friends will encourage you to give it all you got.

Suppose you find the courage to sing with a group of strangers, help you develop your communication skills. When you walk into a room of people you don’t know, it can sometimes feel awkward to initiate conversation. If you decide to join a singing meet-up group, you can start a conversation by asking people about their singing experience. Ask questions about why they chose to pursue singing and what inspires them to keep singing. Social barriers start to come down while you sing because you have to harmonize with others, and a connection begins to develop automatically. People around you will begin to notice your beautiful voice and give you compliments, making you feel accepted, confident, and seen. At the end of the session, you will be walking out with a group of people, exchanging contact information, and looking forward to the next time you can hang out.

Singing with a group provides a fun, social outlet for you to help you connect, relate to others, and feel sociable.
