Thank you very much for the message. Congratulations on your singing. Not many people have the confidence to get up and sing in front of others and I commend you for your efforts.

I think that singing in front of people can definitely be beneficial for your public speaking. (1) You are gaining experience in standing up in front of an audience. And the more experience you have, the more comfortable you will be. (2) You are also learning how to project your voice. It is important for speakers and singers to project their voices so that their audiences can hear them. Of course, you don’t want to be too loud. You need to be able to add variety to your voice (speaking more softly or more loudly, pausing, etc.) to keep it interesting for your audience. (3) Finally, you are learning about preparation. You have to know the words to the songs, you have to hit all the notes, you have to be familiar with the venue and the musicians, and you have to learn how to handle unexpected incidents (like noises or the lights not working correctly or lots of other things). The same applies to public speaking.

So yes, I think that your singing will be very useful for your speaking. I wish you much success with both!

Kind regards,

I am a student of primary school. I always sing loudly in front of many people, can this be useful for my speaking before many people?

Please write back. Thank you.
