    I'm 73 years old and have been singing (classical) all my life. People sometimes ask why I still take a weekly voice lesson "at my age". I ask them "Why do you think I'm still sounding good in my 70s?"

    Several years ago I decided my best option to learn Hangul (Korean) was to sing with Korean singers since there was no one in my area to help me learn the pronunciation. Since then, I have recorded probably 1000 songs or more and made videos with them to upload on my UA-cam channel so that I could compare my improvements as time goes by. I hardly ever sang before because, to be honest, I thought I was tone deaf. An internet test told me I wasn't but I'm still not a good singer, but I have learned to easily sing in the Korean language which is one of the most difficult languages for English speakers. I started using this method when I was 72 in 2016. I still learn and record at least one song a day. It only takes an hour or two now to learn the song and make the video to upload to UA-cam.

    I'm 75 years old. I've always been a terrible singer yet I love it. I got kicked out of a choir when I was a pre-teen because I was so bad.
    Later in life, I don't care anymore. I just sing when the mood strikes me - It makes people laugh and it makes me laugh. It gives me joy, but I've gotta admit I'm terrible.

      "singing good" like many things in life is kind of a convention or democratic social decision about what is good and what not. Should not be like this. If it makes you happy sing as often as you desire and as loud as you can without hurting your vocal cords ;)

    i've tried to learn singing from all the yt videos i could find. Also I've learned my voice isn't just "bad" naturally, it's because i have vocal nodes. My situation is that I can't sing high or vocal fry or sing silently. That said, I learned how to do natural vibrato, although it's more difficult in my case, jaw/tongue positions and improved pitch. I can say singing is really really hard and needs dedication. It's actually physically hard (abdominal breathing).

    I am almost 32 and now I teach myself harder vocal like screaming and singing with grit. For me screaming is a bit easier than singing with grit. That's kind of weird. I think the word screaming is a bit wrong, screaming is not really louder than normal singing, it's just perfect coordination and resonance.

    I’m 47, decent musician but never sang before.
    How can I spent a few sessions with you to see if this is something I want to really try.
    Mostly I’m shy, and afraid my weak voice will never be worthy of singing.
    Serious inquiry of you are available and interested. Thank you.

    Learning from UA-cam videos is possible, but the results could be better and much faster with a good teacher who gives you immediate feedback. UA-cam videos don't give any feedback. And listening to records to you give you some feedback, but not never as much as from a good teacher.
