Ep.74: Singing with Confidence - It’s NOT About How Good Your Voice Is!
Why would I, as a teacher of vocal technique, tell you singing with confidence is not about how good your voice is?
Watch and find out!
Hi. I’m Chuck Gilmore with Power To Sing.
The late Michael Shurtleff was a famous casting director for both Broadway and Hollywood productions. He wrote the book, “Audition” which is a great book about acting and performing. Listen to what he says about singing in auditions. It applies to singing at any time.
Gain Confidence Singing from these Singing Stars
These singers help me understand that my success as a singer and performer is not about how great my voice is. My success as a singer is about the emotional connection I make with others.
Great performers use their voices, and many other things like their passion, love and commitment to share their song. They commit fully to give themselves to their purpose and meaning and to lay it bare before us. We identify and connect with them. We connect with their love and their vulnerabilities. We identify with them. Their honesty draws us in to them. The quality of their voices is just part of it. In some cases just a small part of it.
Singing with Confidence
If it’s about the emotional connection why voice lessons?
Master the vocal technique so you can forget about it and lose yourself in the song. If you are so worried about the high notes coming up that you can’t get into the song, you won’t create any emotional life or connection with the audience.
As you remove the limitations in your voice, you gain great freedom and confidence to sing your songs. You have an underlying confidence in your voice so you can forget about your voice.
What if people don’t like your voice?
As I’ve mentioned in previous videos you can be one of the greatest singers and performers in the world, and there will be many, if not most of the population of the world who would prefer not to listen to you.

We identify with them. Their honesty draws us in to them. The quality of their voices is just part of it. In some cases just a small part of it.
The honesty and vulnerability in sounding like you immediately opens the hearts of your listeners to you and your unique voice...even if it’s less than perfect. In fact, often we like the imperfect voice...because most of us don’t relate to perfection. We relate to the real you. We relate to the feelings and emotions you are sharing with us.
Mastering your vocal technique will also let you have fun with your voice. Literally you can look forward to the high notes in the song. There is tremendous freedom that comes with this. You’re free to let yourself go and give yourself to your song and your audience. We will love you for it.
Understanding your voice is a great way to grow in confidence. It helps to know your vocal type, or what you tend to do when you sing. This helps you work efficiently on your voice by focusing on eliminating limitations and maximizing your own talent.
Go to PowerToSing.com and take the vocal test which I call the PowerTest. Take the quiz and discover your vocal type. Then visit the Knowledge Center and watch the videos about your vocal type. Download the free exercises and start improving your voice immediately.
I’m Chuck Gilmore with Power To Sing. You can sing higher, with beauty, confidence and power.
I’ll see you inside the next video.

This actually explains a lot. I have the most confidence singing when I’m also listening to the music I’m singing. I was so confused as to why I could only sing decently when I was listening to it and I realized I ‘couldn’t’ sing without the music playing because I never believed in myself and wound just start overthinking everything
You at the time of your comment, sound just like me now. And I used to sing!
Thank you. I’m a very shy singer. I never thought about literally singing with confidence. To forget about how I sound and just sing. And definitely will work on singing freely. Thank you. You helped me so much. Now I’m gonna watch all your videos. 🙌🏽💪🏽😆
Thanks ZinniaQueen and good luck. You can do it!
I'm struggling with this as well I hope you've grown more confident! I'm sure you sound amazing.
I don't know why I started crying..
I hope for a good and hopeful reason!
MEE TOOO. ‼️ I am literally holding back my tears 😢
Wow, I’m so glad you commented and said that
@@missruckertheheiress he is tapping into much more than just singing technique. This is a real matter of the heart and our true selves.
I've been training my voice for a very long time but I was trapped to my own beliefs. I always believed that I can't belt high notes because of my low voice, but when I tried singing with confidence, I was shocked by the results. I never thought that I can belt much higher notes than expected. Thank you so much for encouraging me to sing to my full potential! ❤️
Awesome Bench!
2:53 i needed that
Thank you for this video sir, I really needed to hear this message and knew it to be true. Appreciate the great content
Thanks Justin! You can do it!
Now this. So much this. I needed this feeling verbalized to me. I knew it!
It's probably gonna be harder for those who suppress their emotions and do so while singing, as well.
It is harder...especially for someone who identifies themselves as very shy or soft spoken. When singing we have to put ourselves "out there" and let others into our souls.
I only sing confidently when i know theres no people around .
My dad said that my voice doesnt sound good in falsetto but that was my comfortable way of singing every since when i was a child . My classmates also said that my falsetto sound kinda my normal voice and its sound so real ? Idk what sge means tho .
I dont like my voice i also think my voice doesnt sound good .
Lala, if you like singing, I would take some lessons. This might be the best way to make progress faster.
I sing really well in silly accents (strong voice, perfect pitch) because im playing around and i dont expect others to critique me because, well, its a joke, but when i actually try my voice gets higher, goes scratchy, goes flat, and sounds nervous. thanks so much!!!!
You can do it!
Thank you! I think it's one of the best voice lessons I've ever saw! Very important words about singing. Many voice teachers talk about technique, support and other stuff but forget about emotions and soul delivering!...I'll try to share it as much as I can
Thanks Alexey!
When I sing I sound so plain and boring cause I have no confidence to put emotion into it....I can keep in tune and hit the notes I just really lack that character cause I’m too embarrassed to express myself
The more you understand, and the better your technique, the greater is your confidence and the more fun it is to sing!
I really needed to watch this. Thank you very much!! ♥
That was single handedly the best bit of vocal advice I've ever had - a huge thank you from a 60 odd year old just finding his voice!
Great! Thanks. Glad it helped!
thank you sir for taking my suggestion into consideration, i will watch the previous episodes as you've said. i deeply appreciate, real power is in singing. #peace
This was the video I wanted ❤️
As soon as you embrace your voice the door will open up to your emotions to share with those who really love your voice and connect with your vulnerability.
Great comment....so true!
Can I just say thank you so much, as I am very shy with my voice and really inexperienced. So self-conscious. This has really helped give me a boost 😀
You're so welcome! You can do it Simon!
Simple, Thank You.
so refreshing
Exactly how I feel about singing! I will share this with my students and any other singers I come across who say they are feeling insecure.
Awesome!
thank you so much for your advice. I will keep all that information in mind.🙏🙏🙌👏👏
J.A. It takes a while...but I was not happy with my voice at first either.
@@PowerToSing thanks Chuck for your reply. My voice is "sort of ok". What I need to do is what you have mentioned: interprete and transmit the songs to the public. I'll practise in front of the mirror. Thanks again!
This is true. One of my favorite band vocalist ely buendia doesnt have a good voice. But he sings confidently because their song lyrics are awesome. They write very good songs and i think thats were he gets his confidence from.
Yes! Sometimes...there's just something we like about their voices and their music...no matter what.
That was full of wisdom and gave me amazing points to thing about, thank you so much
So glad!
Great advice
Thanks Nicole!
Super helpfull!! Thank youu
This is crazy. There is literally only 1 Dislike. Probably someone like me feeling extremely angry and hopeless about my voice, but I automatically like all videos when I first start them.
What is going on with your voice?
7 years later this is a very solid video. Great advice and perspective. Thank you 🎉
Thank you. You're so welcome!
Wow this video was so helpful Thanks
Great! Keep after it Candii!
Thank you Eisenberg!
Don't make me mad!
Thank you for saying more than just "Practice makes Perfect".
Thank you!
Thank you so very much for the video it helped me a lot.
Glad it helped!
Many years ago when I was younger I didn't sing in front of others and if I did it was barely a whisper. One time in my teens I was in the car with my soul mate and a favorite song came on the radio. I don't even remember what the song was anymore 30 plus years later. I started singing softly in the passenger seat. Shortly he told me to stop singing. I couldn't sing and I was flat. That crushed me and I never sang in front of anyone again until I had a child. I sang for him. He's grown now and I am back to only singing alone. Heidi
Hi Heidi: Most of the time people who give you feedback on your singing don't know what they are talking about. But from what you have said, it sounds like you have a challenge staying on pitch. There are apps available for mobile phones that really can help. I've had students use one by Erol Singer's Studio and it shows you where you deviate from the pitch and you can correct it. I think there are many others that you can look at that do the same thing. It seems to help.
Be yourself and those who enjoy you will come together.
Yes!
Never knew Walter white could sing 😅 nah for real tho appreciate the video made such a difference
I get this a lot! Thanks. :)
awesome video!
Thank you for this 🙏
You’re welcome, Rob. 😊
Wow you just connected so many dots for me
Great! You can do it!
Thanks for this wonderful video
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for this
You are welcome!
I actually sing very well naturally. My Gift is straight from heaven. And I write naturally. But the ONLYYYYTY thing holding me back from starting is fear and being critical of myself. I have many many ideas for songs and concepts I’m passionate about I’d like to make music about. But I think what if my voice cracks when I sing it live. What if people think my style of music is too sad. What if I don’t look attractive in my music video lol. The dumb stuff. How do I get over myself so I don’t waste my talents. I’m 21 and this is the best time for me to try.
Go out and fail as often as possible. Make plenty of mistakes, embarrass your self, and celebrate your effort. Have fun in the process. You will soon realize, life goes on. It really makes little difference. And then keep doing the same until you success more than you fail. After a while you will wonder what you were so afraid of.
Who cares if your voice cracks? Every singer has at least once. Those who think your style of music is too sad are just people who don’t want to invest in your music emotionally. I bet they will not know what they are missing out on. and regarding how you look, I’ve literally been blind since birth, so to me, everybody looks beautiful!
This was great thank you
You are so welcome!
Thank you!! I really needed to hear that
Hi Jackie: and remember too, there's nothing like solid practice and skill development to continue building your confidence. 🙂
@@PowerToSing im depressed i pratice singing but feel hopeless can you help me
@@anotherbahamianguitarplayer Sure! Watch this video and follow the directions. czcams.com/video/d0Ob8WGmvPc/video.html Or I can teach you over skype: SCHEDULE YOUR LESSON HERE: www.powertosing.com/schedulelesson
Thanks!
Welcome!
Thnk u i needed this❤❤
Happy to help!
We all need this from time to time!
Im about to audition for Into the Woods this was a great help!
Fantastic! I love that show! Good luck.
Singing is so much more than just singing.
What a great comment! You are so very right!
NICE
When I know that I can potentially be heard by others, in recordings or live, I get this panic like I’m struggling to breathe.
Anyone else experiencing this? How are you dealing with it?
I've never had that level of stage fright. Do similar things happen in other situations, like public speaking?
I don’t know why I get so nervous on stage and mess up my singing. Also I get dry mouth 😢
That which we persist in doing gets easier. Not that the nature of the thing has changed, but our ability to do it has increased. Stay with it! You'll get it!
1:40 Muito importe pra muito tempo
I have such an emotional force within me which I want to express but I can't f$&*ing sing nicely! So frustrating!
Can you carry a tune?
Hello im an Elvis fan,how does Elvis sing with so much power in the chorus in songs like "without love""just pretend" etc..is it belting ?can you teach this form of power?Than you for great tuition.
In "Without Love" I think he is not belting, but is in a mix of head and chest voice. He was either trained to do it, or more likely he had a natural gift that allowed him to sing an F# above Middle C without belting or pulling up chest voice. Unless you have a natural gift, you can train your voice to mix. If there is balance and coordination in the voice, you can develop a powerful voice to the limits of your particular capacity.
Thank you for always getting back to people,will you do a video on belting?please.
Thanks. I will add belting to my list of future subjects.
😮
Any tips on how to stop thinking when singing? Whenever I sing on camera I get thoughts I have a hyperactive mind who knows, if my third eye is opening cause I feel like my mind is hyperactive and recently I did feel pressure between my eyebrows off camera I have no trouble very rarely I feel thoughts interfeiring, but on camera the whole time almost thoughts keep interrupting me
No tips really. But in time it will get easier and easier....unless you give up.
@@PowerToSing I would never give up I have been doing this almost my whole life 😇
@@PowerToSing with more practice and spiritual awakening my thoughts went away, but I still suffer from perfectionism doing over 5000 takes and never being satisfied
@@juliezimmi9850 Fortunately you will always have a choice.
👏❤
In my mind i know i can do all the stuff the singers i like can if I put effort to try learning all that, but when I actually try to sing, suddenly I'm extremely self aware and also aware of the neighbors, and lose all my confidence someone help
This will help: czcams.com/video/uFhH7mqs2jc/video.htmlsi=kcGwQRRBbQbw8HB5 Take lessons from a great vocal coach. Get your confidence in your technique...just enough to sing in an open mic or karake with friends or family. And do it a lot!. That which we persist in doing becomes easier. Not that the nature of the thing as changed, but our ability to do it has increased.
I only sing with confidence when alone. I can’t sing with confidence I would only be confident when I was younger :(
Then sing alone and sing a lot. :)
@@PowerToSing yup that’s what I’m doing right now!
@@wonyxi.mp4 Sometime soon, invite a family member or a close friend to listen, or to sing with you.
if you say so Heisenberg
Don't make me mad.
Mr white??
Don't make me mad!
Heisenberg
Don't make me mad!
Bro why does he sound like the fitness team pacer test guy
hummmm
Gosh, I would just LOVE to listen to your videos, but the dominant background music makes it unbearable for me like for most HDPs. And it is totally obsolete, the presence if your beautiful voice is all it needs. Please, would you consider reuploading your videos without? With all respect...🙏
That would be a great project. Unfortunately, reuploading the video also resets the views to zero. So this video, instead of showing 14,000 people viewing it over a 6 year period, it would say, 1 view and the post date would be reset to the day the new video went live. Collectively, instead of my channel showing 24 million views, it would show a few views and then youtube doesn't show my videos to anyone. So...I have to live with my mistakes.
@@PowerToSing Thank you for your kind answer. Maybe you would kindly consider this issue in the videos to come. All the best, Greetings
