I've been wanting to learn to sing for a long time, but I just don't know were to start. Dose anyone have any good pointers on where to began or who I should talk to? Also, Dose anyone think joining joining a local choir would be a good idea for a beginner? I know some church and community choirs in the area that don't require any kind of audition.
If you just want to sing, you can just join for example a church choir. Or some other choir.
If you want to learn professionally, well, for that you really need a personal teacher.
You really cant learn that by yourself alone. You need somebody who knows what they are doing to observe your singing and tell you exactly what you're doing wrong and how to improve yourself.
