Greetings!
Yesterday, a friend forwarded a video of someone singing to me, urging me to watch and appreciate the beauty of the video. At first, I was reluctant to click on the link, but my friend emphasized that I should watch it. I eventually did, and wow, it was amazing! I didn’t stop there; I scrolled through the community, as I occasionally do, and once again, I was shocked at the massive earnings on those singing entries. It stirred my mind yet again, reminding me of how difficult it has been for me to pick up a microphone, set up my camera, and create an entry....singing on camera
This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. In fact, I’ve had many discussions about it with friends who are into singing and even with those who aren’t but are willing to give it a try. However, it just hasn’t worked for me.
No lies, those earnings are incredibly enticing. Imagine someone earning from a single post what I earn in two months from multiple articles! I just wish I could do this. I wish I could overcome my camera shyness and come out boldly to sing.
Interestingly, it’s not just about the earnings. I’m a full-time lover of music, particularly the kind we have on my continent—Afrobeats. If you look through my articles, you’ll see that I write about music every single week. Not only that, but the kind of songs I enjoy are ones I can actually sing. I take great interest in compelling lyrics and derive immense joy in singing along.
But my problem lies in facing the camera and putting up those staged reactions. I remember a time I wanted to adopt the Ojiapiano style, where Kcee covered his face with a mask to make the video.
That might work well for me, but I worry people wouldn’t find it interesting if I were masked.
When it comes to my voice, I know I wouldn’t have an issue. My voice is pleasant to the ear, and I’m confident it would sound great in a song.
Many times, after watching music entries, I feel inspired to do the same. However, the urge dies down whenever I think about the camera aspect.
Will I ever get to do it?
For sure! All I need is a little more motivation and a slight push. Maybe seeing someone as shy as I am doing it for the first time would inspire me. After all, that person doesn’t have two heads.
Thanks for reading.
