Take the opportunity to face fear or Choose a workaround in eliminating the fear

[elizabethh]

Hey everyone,

So my dream career involves singing and I am fearful/shy singing in front of my family. This is a perfect opportunity to practice facing fear which is an obstacle I will probably face a lot on my journey, yet I'm not sure if it's more effective to find a work-around solution such as living on my own, in which case I don't have the opportunity to get good at overcoming fear but I may be more easily work on my art and make progress.

Thanks in advance

My take is the latter option if I try face my fear after a good chunk of time.

Hey @elizabethh .  Here are some ideas for singing:

Karaoke - various places have this

Buy yourself a microphone and start to record yourself with some software.

Start a youtube channel and post yourself singing.

Take singing lessons or choir; join a group choir

Join a band that needs a vocalist/singer.  Here is an example website: https://www.bandmix.com/

Turn on the music in the car while another family member/friend is there and maybe y'all can sing together??

Best of luck!

Yeah you may want to use this time to work on your fear of singing in front of your family. But I wouldn’t keep yourself from moving out for that reason. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to face your fear outside your parent’s house.
