You are driving your car and listening to the radio. Suddenly you realise that the DJ is playing one of your your favorite songs! You start to nod your head with the catchy melody. You’re feeling excited, because this is just the song that you like to hear while driving. Just to get the kicks, you increase your speed a little bit. Yeah, you’re having some serious quality time with yourself! The intro stops and there’s the short guitar part before the verse. You think to yourself that they have put the break just in the right spot, because it builds your excitement even more!!!

The verse begins and you want to sing along as loud as you can, because this is your favorite song and you know all the words! So you start singing from the bottom of your heart… and in a matter of seconds you notice that your favorite singer is singing terribly wrong. Hey, how the h*ll he cannot sing correctly??? I’ve listened to this song thousands of times and it didn’t sound that bad! The version is also the same, not some new live recording…

You continue to sing along and then it hits you: hey, the problem is me. I’m a TERRIBLE SINGER!!! Oooooh… you cannot believe it! You have sang lots of times. “Happy Birthday” on birthdays, the national anthem on sports events, you even made that special show with guitar at your grandpa’s barbecue party! You start wondering what have those other people thought of your singing voice… Uh-oh… You try once more to sing with your favorite song, but you give up because the singer is already singing the high parts of the last chorus and you’re not even close to those levels.

Better to do something. And fast. So, you decide that your days as a terrible singer are over and you devote some time to become the ULTIMATE SINGER!

Or at least a decent one…
