Thinking about posting a song?

[natnip]

Recently I've been told that I sing one particular song really well, but I'm personally not the most confident in my singing abilities

Would it be a good idea to try and upload a singing video, or should I trust my own opinion of my singing rather than other people's and just leave it?

I'm confused

*Clicks "post a video"*

I mean if you want to go for it! It's nice sometimes to get feedback from people, other than friends/family, regarding talents. I just got a request to sing a song for my channel and I'm kind of in the same boat as you, I'm a little iffy because it's not what I normally do. I think I'll do it though because I tried out a song a few years ago and it was actually kind of fun.

I've never sung on camera before, so I might record a test version and post it to my friends in a private group on Facebook first

I chose "post a video". I'd agree that your own opinion shouldn't be ignored, however just because you don't like your voice doesn't mean others won't! Try it and see how it goes. Best of luck!

Go For It!^^
If Anyone Says Negative Things, They're Just Hatin' Cause Of Their Own Lack Of Confidence in Themselves ^^
Believe In Yourself!^^ It's All That Matters!

I honestly say do whatever you want. Your fanbase is what it is today because people liked your content. It doesn't matter if it fits in, if you're perfect at it, or even if you don't like your voice. Whatever the case may be, other people will like it for what it is. Confidence does go a long ways, which is why you're considering posting this video. I'd post it and just not care what others thought, tbh.

Hmm, I don't have much of a fanbase yet, which is why I'm a bit skeptical, I feel like I'd get more negative comments on it than positive. For now, I've decided against it, maybe when I get a better microphone I'll think about it again

How about recording it first and seeing what you think of the video? If you like it you could then allow some trusted friends to watch it and give their feedback before posting it publicly.
From what you're saying it doesn't sound like something you're ready to do, not only because of your microphone but also because of how you think people will react and your own opinions on what it will sound like. It's a big step to take if it's something that's important to you so I think you're right to put it on hold for now.

I would suggest you get your video done and upload. Don't worry about how it's going to be. Supporters will always show support while haters will do what they are best at. You shouldn't care too much about the hateful comments, always look towards the positive side of things. Good Luck on your video.
