I agree with Mark. You may have a great song idea but an A&R guy may listen to 30 seconds of it at most, and if the singing is as bad as you are saying you sing he may just stop it immediately and not even give it those 30 seconds.

I have a feeling you may sing better than you think but have no confidence in your singing. I deal with the same thing. People who bought my CD generally said that the singing fits the songs. That's all an amateur can hope for.


I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
