Singers need to have excellent vocal skills, including pitch, range, control, and expression, as well as a good ear for music and the ability to read sheet music or lyrics. They also need to be comfortable performing in front of an audience and have stage presence and charisma to engage and entertain their listeners. To become a successful singer, one needs to have a combination of talent, dedication, and hard work. Many singers start developing their skills at a young age by taking music lessons, joining a choir or band, or practicing singing on their own.
