How to Sing With Confidence in Front of People - in Weeks (Not Years) - Without Spending Money on Singing Lessons or Singing in Front of a Vocal Coach
Are you a beginner singer?
Ā
Do you like to sing but just can't get your voice to sound good?
Ā
Don't know what you're doing wrong or how to fix it?
Ā
Do you only sing when you're alone or in the shower?
Ā
Would you like to have the courage and confidence to sing in front of other people one day?
This is For You If:
- You're a beginner/intermediate singer (doesn't matter whether you've had vocal training before)
- You'd like to become a confident singer
Having good vocal technique won't make you a confident singer unless you also work on your 'inner game'...
Ā
To sing with confidence in front of people, you need to work on 2 things:
- Fundamental vocal techniques
- Inner game of singing

Who Am I?
Hi! I'm Benny Ng, founder of Top Singing Secrets.
I'm a rock singer, songwriter and I've released music under my artist name, Shadowary.
I've been teaching singing lessons for over 13 years. I have 4 university degrees in music. I graduated from the renowned Sydney Conservatorium of Music with a Grad Dip in Vocal Pedagogy (for teaching singing).
I'm a member of APRA/AMCOS Australia, and an accredited teacher of NESA, NSW Australia.
How Did I Get Here?
Ā
I grew up in Malaysia. Iād always had this urge to express my emotions and be creative. I felt like singing and writing songs were my calling in life. I came to Australia to pursue my dream of becoming a professional rock musician. I wanted to sing and scream like my idol, Chester Bennington (from Linkin Park).
After arriving in Australia, I had culture shock. I missed my family and the comforts of home. The learning curve was steep because I didnāt get a formal musical education in high school (music wasnāt part of the school curriculum). I constantly fell behind my classmates.
They studied music from a very young age and were accomplished performers. I got negative feedback for my performance assessments. I was literally a beginner. I felt inferior.
After graduating, I still didnāt feel equipped to be a rock vocalist. So, I did lots of research into how the voice works and even finished another postgraduate music degree. I still couldnāt do metal screams without coughing and straining. I was frustrated and didnāt know what to do.
One day, I read a research article on performance anxiety and how it affected singers. Intrigued, I went to the library and borrowed books on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and anxiety disorders. The reason why I struggled with metal screaming was because I was self-conscious and anxious. I watched YouTube videos of rock and metal singers. They all seemed to flow with their voice effortlessly and immersed themselves in their performances. I did CBT exercises to reframe my self-limiting beliefs. Feeling more confident, I tried metal screaming again. To my surprise, it felt easy to get the sound I wanted.
I learnt all I could about CBT and meditation strategies. Using a psychology textbook as my reference, I created a system that turns performance anxiety into singing confidence. I followed that system religiously.
It wasnāt an easy process. I had to change the way I thought and acted so I was more aligned with the confident vocalist I wanted to be. Also, metal screaming required a different way of using the voice. It took me lots of trial and error to get it sounding and feeling right.
Eventually, I started to overcome my performance anxiety. I can now belt a high G5 easily. I now have a 3-octave vocal range. Metal screaming feels easier than before. When I perform rock songs, I feel more authentic because Iām in the moment. Thereās a sense of freedom when channeling my emotions through my voice. I even started doing live online music shows for my fans.
After āfindingā my voice, I feel more confident as a person. Iām more motivated than ever to achieve my goal of becoming a professional rock musician. Singing is now a source of pride and joy that Iāll cherish for the rest of my life.
Even If You Only Want to Sing as a Hobby and You Want to Do 'Regular' Singing
Ā
Ok I hear you! āØYou only want to sing for fun and for your own enjoyment.
And you just want to sing āregularlyā but not screaming your lungs out.
And thatās totally fine!
Because when work on your vocal skills AND manage your performance anxiety in tandem, your enjoyment of singing goes up.
Youāll gain control of your voice and sing with confidence!

This is my private student, Hayley. We were working on a technique to sing to the top of her range! Watch it - it's cool.
Ok, You're a Smart Person So You Probably Have Some Doubts...
Common Question #1: Can I Really Learn to Sing on My Own?
Ā
A lot of what I know about singing was self taught.
Ā
I learnt from books and videos. I learnt from practicing the techniques and from making lots of mistakes along the way.
Ā
Singing is all about trial and error.
Ā
I figured if I could make all the mistakes I could make and learn from them, then my performances would be great.
Ā
When learning from a vocal coach, Iād feel anxious if they were someone I didnāt have a rapport with. Also, I was someone who had a lot of questions. I felt bad asking too many questions.
Ā
I felt like I could find the answers I needed through research and just experimenting with the things I learnt.
Ā
Iād also do a lot of self analysis by recording my own singing and playing them back immediately.
Ā
Sometimes, Iād spend hours in front of the mirror to check if I was doing the techniques right.
Ā
Doing my own research and practicing on my own gave me confidence because I knew my foundation was strong and I had control of my own learning.
As a beginner, itās totally fine to start this journey on your own.
Using self monitoring strategies and following proper (and structured) guidance, you can make good progress.
As you get a feel for your voice and how singing āworksā, youāll be so much more confident if you want to work with a coach later on.
Common Question #2: Do I Have the Talent to Sing?
Ā
Itās probably hard for you to believe but if you can speak, you can sing.
Yes, your voice is unique and doesnāt sound like your favorite singer. You do have your own strengths that you can develop into your own unique vocal signature.
You may be a low voice and your favorite singer is a high voice. Your voice will sound different but if you develop the notes in your range to their fullest potential, I promise youāll sound great in your own unique way.
If you can speak in a clear tone (can be high or low pitch) and it doesnāt hurt when youāre speaking, it means your vocal folds (vocal cords) are healthy. Theyāre just not conditioned/strong enough yet for you to produce a pleasant tone or be consistently in tune when youāre singing. The good news is: if you train your voice, it will get stronger!
Common Question #3: How Can I Be More Confident to Sing in Front of People?
Ā
You do that by combining psychology and meditation strategies with vocal skills training.
It means you should work on building a strong foundation in vocal technique while regulating your nervous system, so that your body can implement vocal technique effectively.
This is how you increase your self-efficacy (how well you think you can do something) in singing. This is how you can have the confidence sing in public.

Imagine...
Ā
Itās your best friendās birthday party and youāre doing a surprise performance.
Walking confidently onto the stage, you say a few words into the mic and the music starts.
All eyes and ears on you now. You open your mouth to sing the first line and you hear gasps in the audience.
āWho is this singer?ā, they thought.
You flow from one line to the next with all the volume changes just as you rehearsed.
Your voice jumps from low to high then back to low again with ease.
Building up to the chorus, you start to sing quicker and louder.
At the climax of the song, you belt out the familiar chorus effortlessly as the audience sways their body and nods their head.
For a moment, there was something magnetic between you and the audience.
When you finish your song, you hear a thunderous applause. Your best friendĀ comes up to the stage and gives you a big hug.
Ā
Let me help you make that happen. Join me and your fellow shower singers in Shower To Stage Academy!
Henry David Thoreau said: āMost men [and women] lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.ā
Let this be your sign to develop your voice to its fullest potential! Iāve been teaching singing lessons for over a decade. I can tell you the student who progresses the most isnāt the one who is the most talented, but the one who persisted in spite of challenges.
I truly believe everybody has the ability to develop their singing voice to its fullest potential. The roadblocks are different for each individual, but the most common ones are not knowing where to start and being too anxious to get started.
The Open Throat Concept is the perfect place to start because it lets you build a solid technical foundation (and itās been proven through hundreds of years of evolution).
If youāre too anxious to sing in front of a singing teacher, then an online video course is the perfect place to start your training. You can do it at your own pace and in private.
Once youāve completed the modules of the academy, your performance anxiety will be a thing of the past.
No more lip syncing birthday and Christmas songs because youāll be belting out your favorite songs anytime and (almost) anywhere. Heads will turn and eye brows will raise. Only this time, they are admiring you.
Soā¦ Iāll see you inside?
