Any hope for an older singer?

Just wanting your opinion on whether i am trainable or not! I have been a musician for a while, but only started singing as a solo artist in restaurants and pubs 10 months ago, at the tender age of 59! I don't rate my singing as great, and get away with a lot of sins by disguising the vocals with tone and effects when singing live! I'm not sure if my voice is trainable at my age? (Talk about a late bloomer! lol) Anyway, let me know. I have put up some tracks on reverbnation, my best in my humble opinion being my own original, "wakeup"....the covers aren't that great 😞

    Thank you Klaus and Shane - you guys answered my question and confirmed that my doubts about me progressing at my age were silly - age is not a factor - yes, i have to work harder at it than than younger guys, but i know i can do it, and "make music the last thing i will ever do!"

    Hi @leevee ,

    I am Marco and I am 48 years old. I will turn 49 in July. I started Singing 9 months ago.

    I listened also to "Wakeup" - very, veeeeery cool vibe. Good pitch, very good musical feeling. Hey, man, you definitely will grow if you work on your voice. Klaus found nice words:

    as long as you are alive, you are still trainable ;)

    A very warm Welcome form Germany,
    Doc

    The answers yes. I'm 63 and have been singing in choirs off and on for 8yrs. Keep with Ken's training and you will continue to improve.

    Hey,

    hello from Italy!

    Please let me share a wonderful quote from the book "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron.

    -Do you know how old I will be when I will have learned ...? [put the skill you would like to learn].

    Answer: the same age you will be if you do not start.

    Hope it helps :wink:

    Ahoy @leevee !
    Your voice sounds pretty good to start with, so this training will only enhance what you have and keep your voice healthy and strong going forward. :+1:
