The Biggest Myth About Singing – You Are Born With It
It is very shoddy for somebody to think that they weren’t meant to be a singer – they just “weren’t born with it.” There is a fundamental group of masses to blame for this myth: the uneducated.
For someone to say “singing is something you have to be born with” is like saying “swimming skills are something you have to be born with.” Tell Babe Ruth that it is something you have to be born with. You might have heard about the story. Michael Jordan got Ignored from his high school basketball game team.
He didn’t take that very well so he set about rehearsing all day every single day. Then he made the squad. Then he gained a place on one of the most honorable college basketball game squads in the nation. Then he was drafted to the NBA and went down in history as one of the greatest to ever play the game. Basketball skills aren’t something you have to be born with, and neither are musical skills.
Anybody can learn how to sing.
There is something else to blame: the modern culture’s hit television series “American Idol.” The show is Planned for entertainment, it is a BUSINESS. How do they get money? They trade all of the new vocalists to America as a form of entertainment. Also visualize that those singers are specifically selected as they are the worst case scenarios of singers who don’t know how to apply their articulation and have no command over pitch. That can be transformed.
Back to the ignorant. Masses who don’t recognize anything about singing will say that all of those miserable American Idol auditioners are tone deaf. If you believe they are all tone deaf then I am appreciative you are reading this. They aren’t tone deaf. They just don’t recognise how to utilise their voice. Tone deafness is in reality very rare. The genuine trouble is a lack of vocal knowledge. I was in the same spot as those “tone deaf singers.” Anybody who heard me sing would right away point the finger and tag me as “tone deaf.” I am NOT tone deaf. When I met Jon, he took me through some pitch rating practices and it was clear that I am not tone deaf at all – I just didn’t understood how to use my voice. I could hear the melodic line and pitches utterly clear IN MY HEAD, but as soon as I tried to transform it into vocals, I didn’t know HOW to do it – therefore it SEEMED as if I was tone deaf.
In future you discover a singer that you would label as “tone deaf,” think again. They probably just don’t know how to use their voice.
