According to Dictionary.com, fear is "the feeling of being afraid."
What is fear of singing then? If I understand the explanation stated above, it means its a condition of being afraid of singing.
Yeah, but why would people be afraid of singing? Isn't singing suppose to be fun? Is this fear a real fear?
Let's break this singing fear down.
Assuming I am at the karaoke pub now. I am asked to sing my favorite song. And I have chosen the song, "Over the Rainbow." from the movie, The Wizard of Oz.
Since it's my favorite song, I should know the song pretty well.
And since I know the song well, and I have chosen the song to sing, why is it when I am up front holding the mic, I would break into a cold sweat.
Compass spinning, Evel Knievel back from retirement, cheerleaders cheering.
Hello?!
The fear is not really in the singing, (oh, well, a little bit, since my voice don't always quite hold the right note.) My real fear is actually, self consciousness, low self esteem, afraid of rejection and even afraid of standing out. Much of these fears are self imposed. Much of these fears are not even real fear.
So to conquer this weakness, my journey of finding a singing teacher is on. This teacher is going to teach me to sing. And when I do sing well, I wouldn't be so self conscious, I won't be afraid to stand out.
When there is confidence, the fear of singing would be gone.
Halleluiah!!!
Where art thou teacher?
