I was often told that I have a beautiful voice. We all like to believe that we sound good but the final test comes when more people listen and give you the honest feedback.
I remember when I was in school and the music teacher made a selection for the choir. Everybody was allowed to try. The procedure was quite embarassing at that time, consisting in making every child stand up in front of the class and sing a note. Or something. For a shy girl like me it was dreadful. But still I had the classical childish dream to sing. So I stood up. I felt the redness in my cheeks like a burning flame. Red as a chilly pepper, I started to sing a note, going as high as I could. The teacher stopped me at one point saying:alright, this is so high, you can stop. You'll be a soprano voice in the choir.
It was fun to sing in that group. Somehow being selected made you feel special, like you belong to a particular class of gifted kids. Being in that group, even if it did not last long, helped me with my shyness and with being more open.
I would have liked to become a singer. I dare any adult to say that this dream hasn't crossed their mind at least once in their lifetime. Maybe for girls it is more prevalent than for boys. Maybe boys have dreams like being a pilot, a race driver, a bohemian rebel artist, a rockstar.
I would have loved to be a singer, I admit. Actually I think that it is easier to be whatever you want to be now, as the rise of the internet can give you access to a whole world. You just have to create, click upload and wait. Wait for those confirmations that you are good or that you terribly suck at it. Either way, you will be seen.
I haven't tried to record myself singing yet but I definetely recorded my voice many times. There is something alluring in recording yourself and playing it back, listening for the way you spoke , the tone of your voice, the mistakes you have made.
As I managed to move out I gained the confidence to show myself and my talents more as I am no longer afraid that if I get too close to people they will ask me where do you live? and that will be the end of it, the confirmation that I have to get back in my shell of shame. Now I feel more free to interact as a normal person, who has nothing to hide anymore. It feels good as it feels new.
I had the idea of recording kids' stories for quite a while. I wanted to see how I sound and if I feel good doing it. I don't want to invest my time in something I do not like.
The first clip was filmed amateur style in my beauty salon, reading a little short story from a book about survival. I decided to record this in my native language to see how it sounds. Curious to see how I sound in romanian? Click click lol
The feedback from the people I have send it to was positive so I continued with a longer story, written by one of the classics of romanian literature: Ion Creanga.
I felt in my element reading the stories. I can understand now why some people prefer to work in a radio station than on TV. Not having to show your face all the time , worrying if your hair looks good or if you have red lipstick on your teeth gives you more energy to focus on the content.
I would have liked to become a singer. I would have liked to be a radio host. I can check both. But what is actually cool is that both dreams are achievable in these times. We are living the best times now because we have the right channels to promote ourselves. We don't necessarily need someone to squeeze the talent out of us and put it on display, we can do this ourselves and create our own content.
I want my MTV.
I think of Hive, Youtube, Twitch and a myriad of other platforms as our own MTV. It is up to us to broaden our horizons and make the courage to try to see how much we can do with the gifts that God has given us. Each person has a unique set of gifts. It is deeply buried under parental disapproval, adulthood , procrastination and self-doubt.
Who knows? Maybe I'll record a song. Maybe I will record fairytales. Maybe I will narrate entire books. The world is our oyster and the only limits that we have are the ones that we put ourselves, thinking that dreaming and exploring have an expiration date. They don't. Dreaming is for free, so why not dream a bigger dream?
My current "dream" is to get out of the financial discrimination. I live with multiple disabilities, nowadays under the local minimum wage in Hungary. I do not want to dream. I want to properly live, like most people around the world. I do not understand why the government of Hungary keep most of its citizens under the local mininum wage. And there are many people, who are in much worse financial situations than me. They live in deep poverty. And they still vote for this government. Why? And no one is doing nothing against this tyrant, dictatorship-like government.
I hope your dream will come true! I understand that it must be very difficult for a lot of people in Hungary. It is surprising to read this as many romanians go in Hungary during holidays because they believe that it is more civilized there than in Romania . The prices are lower in tourism than here.
People do not always make the right choices when it comes to the government. Nobody should live at the poverty limit and struggle to get a loaf of bread and basic necessities.
You are a strong person and you are determined, I am confident that you will achieve your goal! I wish you happy holidays and a blessed 2022🤗
Thank you for the motivation/inspiration and for the good wishes. I wish the same to you. Happy New Year. Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
Thank you🤗
Your voice is nice. There are many platforms where you can upload your work free, but self-doubt is a major problem.
Hello! Thank you very much! I agree, we are in candy land when it comes to platforms where we can upload
From all the things that can stop us, self doubt is really like a worm eating you up from the inside and I have worked on this matter a lot. Childhood conditioning is like a line of code we have to crack. The potential is beyond that line, in a new code. I have found that growing older helps hahaha. I care less and less about what people think and I also allow myself to explore more. A part of me says: where have you been all along? That creative part filled with a bucket of talents that we did not put to good use.
I hope this inspires many people to remember their dreams, their passions and get a hold of them. Regardless of the age, a talent will always be there when you are ready to embrace it.
Happy holidays🤗
It’s pretty easy with YouTube and Dtube. It’s all you need.
Hi! Yup, it is easy to upload the content pretty much everywhere. I will definetely share it first on Hive, as I am very attached to this platform. Then I will most likely spread like on octopus all over the internet🤣🤣🤣.
Thank you for stopping by and I wish you great holidays🤗
I post everything on VYBrainium.com. You earn VYB, POB, hive and much more
Ok, I've got it, thanks so much for the information. Have a great 2022🤗
I'd like to hear you sing a certain song because your voice is so deep. I'll undoubtedly be your most ardent supporter:)
Oh really? Well it has crossed my mind many times for sure, I will practice and record myself. It will be kind of fun lol as any new experience is. I am more attracted to jazz as a style, I am not sure what style would fit my voice. I think that I will see it once I try it haha. Thank you very much for supporting me, I will remember to mention you when I will put out my first "cover" hihi. Happy holidays🤗
Wonderful post! Loved your calm and deep voice! Also your native language is so beautifull 😍 Really would love to hear you sing 😁
I identify with some of the insecurities you shared. I always liked to sing and also had the dream to be a singer someday. Sadly I have the most out of tune voice ever and I was very conscious about it. Plus one or two public embaressements along my childhood 😅 So I was never able to sing in public (even the happy birthday song 😆)
Luckly my parter is into music and for the past 5 years has been pulling me back to explore my voice and guitar. It has been a difficult path because I still can't sing in front of ANYone except him now. I really freeze when people stare at me and it feels like no sound can come out of my throat. I start sweeting everywere and run away. I can only sing alone in the car and in the shower (classic) so I've been doing that non stop.
Never liked hearing my voice and I also tested it a few years back and it was dreadful and painfull to hear myself 🤣 I think I've improved a lot so far but still missing the courage to try recording again and I'm afraid it's still awful 🙈
But one thing I've learned in facing this fears is that there is this subcounscient idea that you can't sing unless you are a profesional or you're good enough to "monetize it". And I came to learned that you can just sing if it's something you enjoy doing. Not limiting yourself because you are not excelent or can't make a living out of it.
YOU GO GIRL 💪
Hi girl! Well this was very nice to read because you were so open expressing your emotions and your own fears.
I think that the mental barries can be crossed only by us, regardless of how much somebody else tries to push us forward. The force , lol, has to come from within.
I can relate with singing in the shower, making sure that I hide lol . I recorded myself years ago and I remember that I thought that I have a softer voice than what I would have liked. Whatever that might have meant then lol.
Having your partner into music can help a lot as you do not have to worry about singing to an instrument too while performing the vocals.
Fear comes from the past. You think that you would sound bad because of the past experience which got stuck like a sticky gum to the brain lol. Time to remove the gum as it hinders progress. You will feel it when you are ready. Give yourself time and imagine only good things.
Singing just for money or views kills the joy. It becomes like a 9 to 5 job, I would dislike it very much. It is like with any other passion: trying to squeeze the money only kills the beauty of it.
I believe in doing things firstly because you like doing them. Usually money follows.
Thank you for reading and supporting me, I wish you gorgeous holidays🤗🥰
Totally agree with you! It's been really exciting exploring music themes around Hive.
Have you heard of Three Tune Tueday by @ablaze? Recently found out his idea of posting 3 songs you like and talk about them. Got me really excited to make a post about songs in my native language so you guys can enjoy it and learn a bit more along the way 😊
Also today I tried singing a song I like without the music behind as back up and I quite liked it ^^ my parter said I was in tune at least! Not sounding awful as I imagined 😄 Maybe someday I'll be ready to show to the world this little part of me too.

I am happy that you slowly gain more confidence in your skills, I think it helps when we share our stories and feelings as many people will feel inspired to share theirs.
I have been listening to some of my favorite songs too and I've been humming and singing by myself hahaha. I will use the best tool one has , aka the phone, to record and listen to myself and see how I sound.
I wish you a happy new year and a better 2022🤗
Happy new year!! 🤗
Absolutely! It's amazing what love and support can do! It really has been impressive to see and feel all the love and mutual help there's on Hive!
Thank you! And keep rocking 🤘
Happy 2022🤗 I am happy that you live such a beautiful lovestory. Being loved and loving someone is uplifting. And totally cute from an outside observer's vantage point. And many wonderful creations were made thanks to love.
Hugs🤗
You have a beautiful voice good luck on your quest to greatness. I like the title of the post and agree anyone can be the "director/actor" of their own MTV it just needs to have realistic results and action plans towards said goals.

(>'')> YOU GOT THIS <(''<)
Hey! Thank you so much! Action and results always go hand in hand, anything other than that is pure theory. Practice and action is the only fuel for the train leading to greatness. I will always believe in the power of a dream, we type our thoughts on the screen of our phones because someone dreamed that such a device and its technology is possible. Dreams are powerful!
Have a great new year ahead🤗
