"Own" the Song you Sing, You will own the listener.

"Own" the Song you Sing, You will own the listeners.
Once you understand the mechanics of singing, the fun part really begins. The color and character you add to your singing tone and vocal performance can be as unique as your fingerprint.
Don't be afraid to experiment to find your comfort zone. Some people truly enjoy singing karaoke or singing with a cover band - all the while working to sound like the popular artist that made the song famous. There is nothing wrong with this, but it is also not a rule you must follow. Don't be afraid to share your own sound, your own style.
One thing is true, singing someone else's message is rarely the way to a standing ovation. Sing your own message with sincere intent. "Own the song" you are singing, whether it is similar to what has been known before or very different. Make it yours. You tell the audience what their perception of the performance should be...only you. Only you gives someone permission to make you feel inferior as you sing. So sing proudly, no matter what your level of expertise or experience. Singi it as if you are selling the song to the listener, if they buy it, you succeed!

Above all else, enjoy your voice and others will too.
