Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

Good morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast. Today's

tip is to learn how to sing at least one song reasonably well.

Not only can this be helpful at parties,

it can be a lot of fun too.

So I am on a mission in life to help people realize that very few folks are truly tone deaf. Most people who claim to be terrible singers simply haven't practiced.

They don't sing much in their adult lives beyond the occasional

happy birthday at parties. Saying you can't sing is much like

saying you can't run a 5k. A few folks have conditions that would preclude it, But if you can walk from the parking lot to

your office, then, as the popularity of the couch to 5K programs out there shows, you can probably run for about 30 minutes straight within a few months, with practice.

Likewise, unless you have a few very specific conditions, you can probably sing reasonably well with practice too.

Anyway, I can't remember where I read this career tip, but several years ago I saw a roundup of how one might invest $1,000 or so in advancing one's career.

Most of the advice was about taking courses, but one of the more

offbeat ideas was to spend the money on voice lessons, get really good at a particular karaoke song, and then perform it at the office

holiday party. People would definitely notice you and remember you.

And if you are at a large company, marketing yourself in that way is not a terrible idea.
