That's it.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

The first thing to try is matching pitches: play a note on some kind of instrument or app, listen to it and try to sing that same note. Do it again and again and again, multiple times every day until you feel that you have no problem doing it. This is the starting level of "ear training" and its a hugely important part of singing and playing instruments. Music is just as much about your ears as it is your instrument.
It's possible that some people are just naturally bad at matching pitches and will always be a little bit out of tune, but if that's the case for you even after a few months of ear training don't let that stop you from taking part in music, because there are plenty of iconic artists in the pop/rock/folk/blues/hiphop world who technically can't sing for shit and people still love them. In other words, practice and train your voice as much as you can, but also learn to embrace your unique voice and make it work for you.
Thank you! I already play guitar, bass, and drums. I just want to complete the thing so I can write and sing my own songs :)
Awesome :)
Just keep in mind that you don't have to sound like anybody but you. Wanting to get technically better at singing is a worthy cause, but don't let sounding different, or even "bad", stop you from writing and singing your own songs right away.
So many of the artists that I love (folk guys like Neil Young, punk rockers like Tim Armstrong, and so many other people across a bunch of genres) are people with pretty unconventional voices who are just confident enough to pull it off anyway.
