I have to share this tool, it is my new toy and it is free great for both kids and adults!  For those of you out there that sing, want to sing, enjoy singing, want to improve your singing, or need to shout out some energy there is a tool I just found a fantastic tool on MySpace - Karaoke.  Please don’t let the ‘MySpace’ brand deter you, it is truly for all ages, easy to use, fun, and can be for your ears only so you don’t need to ever be embarrassed.

The tool has many different genres of music, so there is sure to be something for most people.  It is great for all ages and it is easy to figure out.  You pick a song, hit record with your mouse, and sing according to the words on the screen.  You can also listen to the artist sing it if you need a refresher before you jump into song.

It is perfect for those with ADHD for a number of reasons:

1. You don’t have to be good, and it still releases energy.
2. You don’t have to schedule singing lessons, you can do it whenever you feel like it!
3. You don’t have to filter what you sing or how you sing.
4. It releases pent up creative energy.
5. There are so many different types of songs to choose from, you will certainly find something you like.

It is hard for those with ADHD to plan specific lessons and concentrate for long periods of time.  While this doesn’t teach you how to sing, the playback feature allows you to listen to how you sound and practice accordingly.  You can also share your recordings with friends, save them, listen to others sing, and try out for contests.

Many people think MySpace is just for kids – but this is not. It is a really great, easy tool that lets you let your inner voice shine without judgment, criticisms, or embarrassment.  I highly recommend everyone try it at least once.

If you get so inspired share us your songs.
