Q3. What's top of mind for your next singing step? *

Tick any that apply

I’m looking around, figuring out what to do

I’ve spotted some gaps in my singing- and wanting to solve them

I’m elbow-deep in writing originals that express my aesthetic.

I’m prepping for a big reveal—tour, PR blitz, the works.”

I’m itching for something new—time for a change

People often come to me for advice --I'm thinking about where that could lead

Have to admit, my thoughts are in a muddle

Q4. How many people have heard you sing at your best? *

I never feel I sing that well...

Still working on my best!

Just the mirror...

Maybe a handful

A few locally

The world - I'm always posting videos with me singing

Industry experts - I'm not great at broadcasting what I do but they hear me in gigs, concerts and shows

Q5. What are your biggest struggles with singing? *

Tick any that apply

I've ALWAYS wanted to sing but I'm worried that I've left it too late to start...

I'd like to get going with singing lessons but the idea is very scary

I'm looking for a new teacher but not sure how to go about getting the right one for me

I have absolutely no clue what I want to do!

No one seems to rate my singing

I'd love to be singing in a band but I've been disappointed with the standard of musicianship

I've been doing the same singing projects for a while now and getting a bit bored

Until recently it's been going really well, but things have changed and I don't know why

I don't get paid enough or at all!

Everything I release or promote gets ignored

I have lots of creative ideas but they stay in my head

I don't play an instrument and I feel it's holding me back

I just don't have enough time

My band has split up

My friends and family don't understand what I do - it would lovely to have someone to talk to about it

Q6. If someone asks for your links, what would you do? *

Swiftly send a few links to social media, Spotify and website, follow up with a EPK - and then drop them a reminder after a week or so

I have nothing to send!

Feel really bad about my content and ignore it

Panic!

I don't know what that means

Incredibly unlikely anyone would ask! And that's okay.

Q7. Putting modesty aside, do you have any high level skills that support your singing goals? *

Yes

None!

A few...

Q8. If you had to organise a singing show for charity, how would you feel? *

Too similar to my day job - no thanks!

I'd have to go lie down in a darkened room at just the thought!

Sounds fun!

I could pull that together no problem. I'm setting up the spreadsheet at we speak

I'm sure I could but I'd much rather not

Q9. If you had to SING at that charity show, how would you feel? *

THIS is the major problem! I have no idea...

Secretly, I have a few VERY exciting ideas and ambitions - but I'm not sure if they are actually possible

I just don't think my singing is good enough

I'm very happy with what I'm doing now - it just lacks something a little special and I need help fixing that

My family often sing at parties and get togethers - I 'd love to be able to join in!
