It's surprising how similar your past experiences were to mine, and I can totally relate. I was ridiculed and discouraged from singing by just about everyone I knew during my school years- my music teachers, even my own family- though they supported me in just about every other endeavour I took- compared my voice to a "bawling cow". Long story short- I now sing with 4 A Cappella groups (one competitive), and get nothing but compliments for my 3.5-octave range. I'm still no Eric though ;-)

What a great story! It can apply to so many areas of life...to just be the person who works harder. You are an inspiration.

@Fenii88 I have the same problem. My mother used to say I was doing it on purpose just to sabotage my auditions. I think getting over it comes to what he said in the video about thicker skin and also practice. The two put together can overcome our stage fright.

One thing to know- the shakeyness never completely goes away. You'll always be nervous, but you'll learn to work through it and regain your power in spite of it. At least, that's what I believe. ^_^ Don't give up! Just keep at it!

I'm quite good singer when I'm singing alone but when i'm singing in front of people I just froze and I'm totally unable to sing high notes even thought I have a soprano voice and I can sing high notes with power... But in front of people... I can barely sing at all. My voice gets shaky and unpowerful. Is practice the only way to help my confidence or is there any tricks to make that shakiness to go away? :D

I had a great voice as a kid and always made it in my schools chorus but as I got older I guess I lost the technique or something

Ever since I learned your breathing technique, I can say Thank you Lord for Eric Arceneaux.

My Diaphragm is so developed by following you breathing technique twice a day, and somehow when I couldnt sing at all but played Piano and Guitar like the pros...My brother and sisters and even my best friend told me to quit..but because of my determination just like yours today I am a Leader Singer at My church and right now im developing a Christian Aletrnative/Rock Band so wish me blessings~ThumbsUp4U

@LittleHotHead I'm dying for him to come to Australia. but the problems are 1. i dont have paypal or credit or anything for online lessons. and 2. i dont have money for myself to go to any sessions he would put up in Australia .... because i havent really told my family that i want to be an singer... maybe cause im embarassed or some stuff but my life story isnt something i wanna talk about haha..
