"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

hey guys im i would say an ametuer singer i think im good but not really sure. if there are other people here that are good singers how did you find out that your good?

I have recorded myself and i sound pretty good is this a good enough indication?

I would say my voice is most suited to rock type music, if there are any people here that are singers in a band what would be some advice in finding a band to sing with?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Like most things this is subjective and in the ear of the beholder..

But, have you sung in front of other people before?

What was their reponse?

If no one has ever complemented you on having a nice voice then you probably need to take voice lessons. Of course that wouldn't be a bad idea anyway, cuz we all develope bad habits (esp if your self taught) that need to be corrected.

I'm a singer/musician too, I sing and play five instruments! I have a four octave range!

But, I've been at it since I was 12 yrs old..

Have you ever heard of speech level singing????

I sing and play guitar in a rock band. As far as my voice, i'm considered advanced and have developped a great tone with lots of harmonics.

My advice would be to find a vocal coach and get some training. It'll be well worth it. He/She will help you broaden your range and make your pitch really accurate. I never sing a note out of tune, ever, and the tone of my voice is alot fuller and warmer than before I had my coach.

i sound like Rob Thomas, some say.

Genetics play a big part in your sound. You can only work with what "god" gave you.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I can pull off a half decent Jack White, then again I've never really practiced vocals.

How much does it usually run for a decent vocal coach per session?
