This question is so important for people that love to sing but are not sure if they should be investing their time and effort to develop this talent or are scared to actually start their singing journey.

Here are some signs to recognize if singing is your passion:
#1 You never stop singing:
When you can’t stop yourself from singing, there is an energy that runs through your veins that keeps telling you to sing, it is just inevitable. Many singers recognize this passion, but the fear of people listening to their voices and been judged can stop singers to start developing their talent. If you find yourself in this situation, please remember to believe in yourself. Keep developing your talent and sing!
#2 Singing gives you “butterflies” in your stomach:
Yes, the same butterflies that you have when you see the love of your life. In this case, singing IS the love of your life. I am sure you can think of occasions that you were about to sing and had this feeling. It was exciting and at the same time scary! But if you feel like this it means you truly have a passion for singing. Share your beautiful voice with others and enjoy your journey as a singer!
#3 You would do anything to become the best version of yourself as a singer:
If you are constantly thinking about the ways to improve on your singing, you truly have a passion for it. Singing means so much to you that is the one thing that you would like to take forever with you. Keep working on improving your technique and mindset as a singer, it will give you great rewards and the freedom to sing with confidence.
#4 Singing makes you happy:
Think about all the times that you just felt so much better after you sang. No matter what you are going through, if singing is that effective tool to get you up on your feet again, then you know that you have the soul of a singer, it is just part of you, part of your essence. Take care of this wonderful gift that makes you so happy!
#5 You will always find a reason to keep singing:
Even if you stopped developing your singing talent for years, you can’t say no to that energy that drives your singer soul and makes you sing. You may find different reasons that apply to your own story and personal life as a singer in this regard. But let me share some memories that I have that bring me back how I knew that singing was my passion.
As a little girl I always loved to sing, but it was a secret for the most part. As the years passed by and was teenager, I tried to focus on learning about areas that were not related to music or singing, I was trying to find a different path that would bring me success in my life. But singing was always in my soul and I COULD NOT forget about it and all the emotions that I felt after I sang. It just made so sad to imagine a world were I would not sing. I knew I was made to sing, and that God made me like this, that is who I am, that is my essence , I am a singer.
If any of these signs have stood out to you and if you find this energy that drives your soul as a singer, please do not give up. Wherever you are standing right now, whatever your story is, and even if you do not feel prepared, talented or capable to sing. Just remember how happy singing makes you feel and DO NOT GIVE UP SINGING.
I hope these signs helped you recognize your passion for singing. Keep learning and progressing. You got this my singer friend!
