× Singing also allow me to express my emotions, especially to the people I care about.
✓ Singing also allows me to express my emotions, especially to the people I care about.
The subject 'Singing' is singular, so the verb should be 'allows' to agree in number. Using 'allow' is incorrect because it is the base form used with plural subjects.
× I usually go to get it with my friends and we can share our feelings and have a good time together.
✓ I usually go to karaoke with my friends and we can share our feelings and have a good time together.
The phrase 'go to get it' is incorrect and unclear. The intended meaning is likely 'go to karaoke' or a similar activity. Using the correct prepositional phrase clarifies the meaning.
× No, I've never learned how to sing in the fall, more UMM training.
✓ No, I've never learned how to sing formally, more like informal training.
The phrase 'in the fall, more UMM training' is unclear and grammatically incorrect. It seems the speaker meant they never had formal training but some informal practice. Correcting the sentence clarifies the meaning and fixes tense and structure issues.
× So that's why I can sing UMM comfortably in front of people.
✓ So that's why I can sing comfortably in front of people.
The word 'UMM' is an interjection and should not be part of the sentence structure. Removing it improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× I would love to sing for my lover because singing allows me to express my deepest emotion and actually create a special connection between us.
✓ I would love to sing for my lover because singing allows me to express my deepest emotions and actually create a special connection between us.
The word 'emotion' should be plural 'emotions' because it refers to multiple feelings. Using the plural form is correct when talking about a range of feelings.
× And actually, I'm currently preparing.
✓ And actually, I'm currently preparing a song.
The sentence is incomplete and lacks an object. Adding 'a song' completes the thought and improves sentence structure.
× Yeah, I do think singing can bring happiness to people because like I say, umm, singing can express our emotion and also can release our pressure on everything.
✓ Yeah, I do think singing can bring happiness to people because, like I said, singing can express our emotions and also can relieve our pressure about everything.
The phrase 'like I say' should be 'like I said' to match past reference. 'Emotion' should be plural 'emotions' to indicate multiple feelings. 'Release our pressure' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'relieve our pressure' meaning to reduce stress.
