Who likes to sing??

Ever since I started going to church I have discovered the joy of singing! It can be a true natural high, to raise your voice in unison with hundreds of other people. Four part harmonies are especially beautiful! I recently quit smoking cigarettes and my singing voice has improved tremendously! I can sing both bass and tenor pretty well. This Sunday I was even asked to lead a song in front of the congregation!!! Seriously. In front of over 300 people. I was really nervous, but afterwards I got so many compliments and it felt great. I am wondering if I could become a vocalist for a band or something. Except that my singing style is very formal, I don't know if it would work. I would need training or something. Does anyone else like to sing?

I love to sing. Pity I can't carry a tune.

I love singing and playing guitar, even though I'm not so good at doing both at the same time!

I think it helps that I was forced to sing a lot growing up in church. They made us learn how to read music and match notes and stuff. Then again not all of my peers who grew up with me can sing well. I think I come from the same gene pool as Ed Sheeran.

I can play guitar fine while singing my problem is that I just can't sing 
I which I could find lessons or something over the internet because people always asked me about my singing when they find out I play guitar

The trick for me is not to hold back. I have to be loud, the sound has to come from deep in my belly. If I try to sing quietly, the notes don't come out right. But when they come from deep inside, they resonate- you can feel them vibrating, you can hear them vibrating, you can feel the tone changing from note to note as the frequency of the vibration changes.

I've been singing a lot recently. I love playing my classical guitar, finger picking chords to songs, and singing my soul away
-------------------- I fucking hate you... God damn, I love you... But we both know if we stick together, we'll just tear ourselves apart You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey You are my heroin, but there's an abscess... God damn, I miss the vein!

I once believed that you can't sing without the believe that you can hit that note/confidence that you can hit that note, but then I recorded myself playing guitar and singing and I learnt that I was full of shit
