Your newest competition: Japanese pop robots

Let's start with something light-hearted before getting into the nitty-gritty of how to improve singing:  Japanese pop star robots.  No, seriously, they're real and performing concerts somewhere in the world.  Some scientists devised this cybernetic creature that learn how to sing a song in about an hour, and with a day's study can learn to mimic a performer's gestures and body language.

The thing is, anyone reading this can do better.  We're all born with the ability to mimic each other's vocalizations and tempo, and not taking advantage of this can greatly cost you in the long run.  The problem is, you're trained to not be free-spirited and loose in singing and expressing yourself, and this holds you back.

The next time you're lingering in stage fright before taking the stage, remember:  a man-made machine can get out there and sing and dance like a human, so you absolutely can to.
