@ujcmtgs4n4jqza It's going... well, I'm improving, but I've only recently started (like 6 months ago) both with singing and banjo playing. This quarantine surely is helping me, I have more time to practice.
Do you play any music?
@arteteco @ujcmtgs4n4jqza
I started guitar... I don't know... maybe '73. Over the years, there were long periods of time when I didn't play. Broken fingers one time, I couldn't even play if I wanted to for well over 18 months.
Last year I sang and played a few times at an open mic. It was a good experience. One thing I learned was that many artists have sound compressors and various other electronica on a board that goes between the mic/instrument and the amp to improve the sound.
Another big lesson: Record yourself and listen back. You'll hear mistakes you'll never notice while just singing in the shower/closet. You'll never know what you need to work on if you don't hear it.
Also, get a decent microphone. The difference between a $7 "karaoke" mic and even a ~$25 vocal mic is huge (I used the karaoke mic for over a year. Once I upgraded, I was sorry I ever bought the cheap one.)
Maybe more than you're ready for yet? Anyway, stop thinking about sharing and do it!

Hi, thanks for your message!
18 months without playing nothing must be... difficult.
I already do all you are saying! I record myself and listen, and I bought a 50 bucks Rode microphone.
I also started just today to upload some videos of me playing. Well, just one, so far.
More than to get attention, it is motivating me to look for errors and things to improve... and also I'm trying to let go of my anxiousness.
Do you have any video or audio of you playing?
BTW, what's the link of the one you uploaded today?
