Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
수험생
Yes. Well, it depends on what kind of music you're singing, what kind of song. Maybe it's a sad song and maybe it will ruin your mood and make you sad. So it depends on what kind of song you're putting. If well, if it's happy song from Katy Perry, of course it's gonna bring you happiness.

× Have you ever learnt how to sing?
✓ Have you ever learned how to sing?
The verb 'learn' in American English uses the past participle 'learned' rather than 'learnt'. Using 'learned' is more standard in this context for past tense or present perfect tense.
× I never like learn how to sing or someone try to learn me.
✓ I never liked learning how to sing or had someone try to teach me.
The sentence incorrectly uses 'like learn' and 'try to learn me'. The correct past tense form is 'liked learning' and 'try to learn me' should be 'try to teach me' because 'learn' is for the learner and 'teach' is for the instructor. Also, 'learn me' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'teach me'.
× What what?
✓ What?
The repetition 'What what?' is unnecessary and incorrect in formal speech. Simply using 'What?' is appropriate for asking for clarification.
× I open my voice messages, voice record thing and I open karaoke on YouTube and it starts singing for myself.
✓ I open my voice messages, voice recording app, and I open karaoke on YouTube and sing for myself.
The phrase 'voice record thing' is informal and unclear; 'voice recording app' is clearer. Also, 'it starts singing for myself' is incorrect because 'it' (karaoke) does not sing; the subject should be 'I'. 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun and should be used correctly; here, 'for myself' is acceptable but the sentence structure needs correction.
× So later when I grow up or something or whenever I'm bored, I'll listen to my amazing talents that you don't have.
✓ So later when I grow up or whenever I'm bored, I'll listen to my amazing talents that you don't have.
The phrase 'or something' is informal and unnecessary here. Removing it improves clarity. The rest of the sentence is grammatically correct.
× So it depends on what kind of song you're putting.
✓ So it depends on what kind of song you're playing.
The verb 'putting' is incorrect in this context. The correct verb is 'playing' when referring to music or songs. 'Putting' is not used with 'song' in this way.
