Clear all thoughts.. Free your mind.. Dig out your soul.. And Sing it out loud...


Two weeks before I'm going to the land across the sea, suddenly I have a strange will..
Not to rob a bank of course..
And definitely not to get laid with two girls at the same time (definitely not!)
No no no..
Not that kind-of- weird-unusual-or so ever called-will..
Suddenly I want to sing a song..
Yep.. I want to become a vocalist..
It really strange cause I never ever act as a frontman before..
moreover I never sing at the stage in front of lots of people before..
I never took singing lesson before (or vocal lesson I guess?)
I know that my voice is awful and I can't sing as good as Glenn Fredly or Andre Hehanusa..
But I know that I have to be brave and sing out loud..
My former guitar teacher once told me that guitarist should sing.. No need to have a good voice as long as it doesn't out of tune..
That was the only vocal lesson I have in my entire life..
Well most of singer don't have an outstanding voice..
Look at Dylan.. I believe his voice is not as good as.... well you can say... Tom Jones..
But he's a legend.. He influenced lots of people to sing..
No matter what other people think, Dylan has his own style of sing and most people love him the way he is..
In Indonesia we have Iwan Fals..
His voice is waaaayyy out of tune.. Compare to Elfa's secoria students, Iwan Fals's voice is like radio AM..
But Iwan Fals is a legend.. Everybody know him.. Loves his song.. Buy his records.. And watch him live..
I do believe that singing is like letting out your inner light (or inner beauty but I prefer light)..
The key is let the audience feel your inner light..
Create your own characteristic..
No matter how good (or bad) your voice is, the audience will enjoy your performance..

So I will try to prove this theory..
I'll sing next Saturday and report this blog after the show..
Well I hope this will be useful for someone who's try to become singer but don't have a vocal background like me..
Happy Friday night everyone...
