So You Wanna Be A Singer. Train and Practice

[MarcusCrouch95]

Im 15 and Ive been singing for like 4 - 5 years, I've performed at loads of places and I can tell you guys... there is nothing like the feeling of singing on stage and getting a boost of confidence hearing the crowd cheer after... after you've gotten the grips of singing infront of people it is really fun :D and plus most of the time, if your singing on stage the lights are all on you so you cant see the crowd, all you gotta do is imagin your in your room :D

[robertantonnyc]

@MarcusCrouch95 Yes, it's a wonderful feeling being up there in front of the crowd. So much love coming from the audience. Keep singing and those audiences will get bigger and bigger.

[jonasfan2907]

I practice everyday I don't take professional lessons I just practice singing everyday and I get better and better :) These are really good videos!

[robertantonnyc]

@jonasfan2907 Are you still practicing and singing every day?

[jonasfan2907]

@robertantonnyc yeah I was sick for a while but I recovered so I'm slowly going back to it :)

[robertantonnyc]

@robertantonnyc Sorry to hear that. I hope it was nothing serious

[GoVlogers]

Thank you.

[diggersstory]

Always good advise

[ilikewaffles88]

nice tits.

[Tye2k7]

im 27 and singing is my dream but i feel like im to old pursue a professional music career

[robertantonnyc]

I don't think you're ever too old to pursue your dream. The voice isn't even fully mature until you're in your mid 30s.

A lady I keep in touch with from an audition in NYC is in her 50s and started working on her voice and doing shows. Now she has a CD of jazz music out and is very Happy that she decided to finally do what she really wanted to do: sing.

[robertantonnyc]

Also, look at your options. There are so many types of jobs and career paths for a singer in so many genres. Don't limit yourself.

[ger6111]

its insane how as far back as i can remember ive wanted to sing, but i am t e r r i f i e d to do it in front of anyone!! odd!

great post thought!!

[robertantonnyc]

nothing to it but to do it.

[Bolano4]

@robertantonnyc Ya man, its nervous till you get up on the stage. Than it gets easier and you can just sing. Don't let the nerves stop you from doing what you love.

[80s90shousemami76]

i think mariah carey has an amazing voice and gloria estefan

[80s90shousemami76]

what if u want to sing opera?

[candylady1625]

You've offered wonderful advice. Where is the best place to find a vocal coach at a reasonable rate?

[robertantonnyc]

I don't know where you live, so try your local college.

[candylady1625]

Okay, thanks for ur guidance, I'll be sure to check in to it:). What about learning from people that are in your local church choir? I know many people have gotten their start this way but is it really a good way to start or not?

[robertantonnyc]

If they are music teachers, it may be a good way to start. If not, it's better to find someone with students already. Maybe you can ask for a recommendation from a few ppl.

[supertom123]

you know what your talking about. well done i enjoyed this video!

[Learner012]

Why are people using Wonder girls video to get a higher view count?

Jesus christ.

[robertantonnyc]

u think they are worried about it? This not only gives them a link to me but also gives my subs a link to them.

[Learner012]

It doesn't matter if their worried about it, what matters is if the video poster wants un-related videos on the video response.

[robertantonnyc]

Please write to them and ask if you are so concerned. That is the best thing you can do. If they did not want the attachment, they would have disabled it or chosen to approve videos before they are posted.

Thanks so much for your input. Be Blessed.

[isaacyeung]

i don't see how it's related to wondergirls' performance in any way ... =.=

[robertantonnyc]

So you don't think they got where they are by training and practice? Hm.

[mangvicklol]

i no wat ya me

[night4girl]

How much would it cost to get a vocal coach..I want to be a singer so bad, There is no plan B for me

[robertantonnyc]

well, it depends on where you are and what's the going rate. can be from 15-50 an hour, but it's an investment in your future.

[night4girl]

Ok thanx, I don't think my mum/dad would get me a singing coach though i'm 14 years old and I love to sing. My friends say I am a really good singer but I still think I need more work.

[davethecaveman]

i enjoyed this and can tell your voice is quite righteous indeed....

[iraqifighter12]

[666driver]

I enjoyed you presentation and appreciate your insights. I'd love to hear some of your singing.

[robertantonnyc]

thanks. check out more on my channel. Njoy

[Ijuswannasang]

it's on my page.

[Ijuswannasang]

I'm a big fan of your music, and I was wondering if you could listen to my audio and give me some feed back on my voice. I'm trying to develop my voice, I have copied different artists styles of singing, but I want my own voice. So with my audio recording I tried it straight. let my know what you think.

[robertantonnyc]

Hi there, did you send me some audio or is it on your page? I'll take a listen when I get a chance. write me back again tomorrow. peace

[tinydancer4u]

You look like J/J Walker on Good Times. "DY-NO-MITE!"

[robertantonnyc]

really? I've never heard that before...

[bifzidane]

i'm really focused to become a musician when i get out of high school

right now i play trumpet and guitar

soon i'll be picking up drums

and i'd really like to play guitar , and sing in a band

and since i'm good with instruments on my own , i decided after high school i'm going to take singing lessons

so this is actually very cool

thanks a lot man

[robertantonnyc]

YOu're doing a lot. Make sure you get some computer and electronics training. Sounds like you'd be a good studio engineer or even producer.

[maryams620]

y are u ppl commenting such assholes!!???

no hates!!!

[CHERRISOCKS]

why do you talk so much???

[robertantonnyc]

next time maybe I'll just look at ya.

[JackassMike007]

lol gd 1

[paintman557]

hahahahaha

[oy]

Dude, could you please not write stoopid coments please? just don't waste your time, he is explaining to us, about singing, and training the body as a vocal instrument...ofcourse he will talk fast, because he wants to get his meassage across and keep it short, ahh some people...

[robertantonnyc]

Thanks OY. "Some people" is right. They just don't get it.

[Aridaemus]

dammit... I meant 'knew'. Oh, well.

[robertantonnyc]

good quote.

[Aridaemus]

"If people new how hard I worked to aquire my mastery, they wouldn't think it worthwhile at all." --Michaelangelo

[robertantonnyc]

they would think so now. lol.

[Aridaemus]

Indeed... my point, though, is that with all the talk about 'talent' people often forget how hard a master works to become such. This is unfortunate because people feel discouraged if they believe themselves to be without any talent. Yes, some people can naturally do things easier than others but most anyone can achieve most anything if they're willing to work hard enough for it.

[robertantonnyc]

well said. some of the most talented are so lazy that they never achieve their potential.

[justkemp]

i enjoy these lol...u need a reality show

[laurenkayjonas]

thnx i love singing but a bit scard ive sung in sum places like parties a sum other ceromonies but im still too scard

[robertantonnyc]

check out my Performance Anxiety video. It should help a little.

[rwa04]

Nice video. Interesting and Entertaining. Thank You

[robertantonnyc]

you're welcome. thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you subscribed.

[rwa04]

I have subscribed. :) I have one question. Why is this a video response to the HIM video for their song 'Bleed Well'? Thanks

[robertantonnyc]

Thanks so much for the sub. You'll have to watch 'Cross Promotion' for that answer. Enjoy

[laurenkayjonas]

yea and why is it a respond to the jonas brothers THEY ROCK i love them

[robertantonnyc]

and why not? You don't think they have to train and practice. If you want to get to where they are, you need to do the same...and more.

[TrentIsMine]

When's the last time you can start singing? I mean when does your voice grow too old?

[robertantonnyc]

the great thing is the voice is NEVER too old. Think of all the 'old-timers' still doin Vegas and touring. I'm sure most have been singing all along.

[TrentIsMine]

Well that I know but they have started training their voice early, right? But if you want to start learning singing... can you overcome the physical obstacles of growing old, I mean your voice is changing, too. That might prevent you from being able to reach the heights and depths you could have reached if you started earlier. Or is there no such thing?

[robertantonnyc]

I don't think there is such a thing. As long as you can talk, you can learn to sing. Singing is sustained speech.

[TrentIsMine]

Now that's cool to know. Thanks. :)

[yakbz14]

macici

[robertantonnyc]

eh?

[robertantonnyc]

I am so bad at this thing. lol. I just deleted a great comment by mistake. If you come back, please repost and forgive me.

[Brittany0414]

That was cool.
