Singing like almost any skill you can acquire will take dedication and perseverence. In my view anyone can sing if they work at it hard enough and want to succeed. There are some basic fundamentals to singing e.g. Breath control, microphone technique, diction, pitch and overall vocal fitness to take account of but these skills can be learned over a period of time and if you truly have a passion for music are all able to be mastered.
Singing in Public for the First Time
When you're feeling you've got the basics down and feel comfortable with your voice you should look to get on stage or find a chance to perform in front of people. This shouldn't be competitive however, avoid singing competitions for the time being. If you have not performed in front of a real audience previously trust me when I say that you do not want the added pressure of competing. Look for an opportunity that's a less intimidating like the local karaoke bar. Karaoke is a terrific way to get familiar with performing and as the majority of the crowd watching you may very well finish up performing themselves you wont feel the same level of intimidation as when the audience is there for listening only.
Song Selection
Good songs to sing at your first live performance will be those that you are completely happy with. You should be able to perform your song of choice without thinking about the words and the tune should fit nicely within your vocal range. Performing live is never the best time to test your vocal range.
Some Basic Mike Tips
This should be an article in itself so we shall only cover one or two basic tips. Rule 1 - when you first walk onstage don't tap the mike to check it is working. Nothing looks worse than this. If you are doubtful about the mic speak into it and quickly introduce yourself. You will soon know if there's a problem. Secondly hold the microphone steady, you need to maintain a consistent volume. If you are prone to moving the mike too much you'll notice this becomes an issue. As you become more advanced you'll learn when to move the mic farther away when you're actually belting it out and closer when you are singing more quietly but for now try to hold it steady.
