My daughter Penny is slowly becoming a budding singer, please have a look at her latest effort that she wrote and sings on you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVhD-tRkyug please click on the subscribe button which will help her.

Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoaI7eXO1xA which is a lot better as it has backing music If any of you can forward this on, again it really helps.

A big thanks to all who help her. Please no nasty comments she is only 12.

We will both be at the game today, and everytime we both go we always win, its starting to become a talking point around the people we sit with

Her timing's excellent, which is difficult to teach. She's too young to be taking it too seriously, mind

Not bad at all Depending how far she wants to take it will determine the road forward, ie singing lessons. She has a powerful voice and certainly is not shy behind the microphone.

Will look forward to her singing at the Amex one day.

I liked her voice and I'm usually hyper-critical.

When I saw your post I thought - oh dear, here we go again - another X-factor
effort. But I was wrong -

Full marks and tell your daughter to keep going. I think she has great potential.
Fine tuning with lessons would help perfect - but that's all.

Hiya GM98

My son, who's 15, has been in and around the musical theatre world for the last 5/6 years and now attends a performing arts school full time so i've seen a lot of kids of those ages who sing, dance and act.

I would say that your daughter definitely has potential to have a very good voice. Some notes are okay, some are very good but some coaching would iron out any issues plus teach her how to approach songs that may be out of her vocal range and also get the best out of her vocal range. Of course her range is likely to change as she grows older but she'll be taught good technique which is extremely important !!!

What really impressed me is that she can hit some of those high notes without seemingly too much effort. I'd say there is definitely something there that's worth pursuing.

Where are you based. Brighton?

If it's her thing, look at getting her to audition with some amateur musical theatre groups in the area like Brighton Theatre Group or City Youth Theatre. They're a great place to nurture talent and it's fun. Plus they put on great shows at decent venues like the Corn Exchange and The Old Market. The production is of a very high standard but you don't have to be a seasoned pro to get in.

Also, check out K-Bis theatre school. My son used to go there full time but I believe they do Saturday classes in dance, singing and drama. The principal there is Marcia King who really helped to develop my son in all areas of performance.

There is also a charity called the Pebble Trust which provides funding for young talented kids in the area. This funding can be used for singing lessons, theatre school fee's, travel costs to auditions etc. They have a website.

Hope some of that has helped and good luck.
