× I didn't took a a chance to learn singing.
✓ I didn't take a chance to learn singing.
The auxiliary 'did' is already in the past tense, so the main verb should be in its base form 'take' instead of the past tense 'took'. Using 'took' after 'did' is incorrect.
× I have to sing, uh, in the front of other people.
✓ I have to sing, uh, in front of other people.
The correct prepositional phrase is 'in front of' without the article 'the'. Using 'in the front of' is incorrect in this context.
× I prefer to, uh, listen music rather than doing singing.
✓ I prefer to, uh, listen to music rather than sing.
The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' when followed by a noun. Also, 'doing singing' is awkward; 'sing' is the correct verb form here.
× I'm not feeling confident about my singing abilities. So I would not prefer and future as well to learn singing and never in the past.
✓ I'm not confident about my singing abilities. So I would not prefer to learn singing in the future, nor have I in the past.
The phrase 'would not prefer and future as well' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'would not prefer to learn singing in the future'. Also, 'never in the past' should be connected properly to the sentence. 'I'm not feeling confident' is better as 'I'm not confident' for present state.
× They are supporting me as I'm not a good singer, but they are still listening to me and always putting to me, sharing me that I'm doing good and great job.
✓ They support me even though I'm not a good singer, but they still listen to me and always tell me that I'm doing a good and great job.
The phrase 'putting to me, sharing me' is incorrect. The correct verbs are 'tell me' or 'encourage me'. Also, 'doing good' should be 'doing a good job'.
× They always prefer to listening music rather than singing because it helped them to relax and leaving their stress.
✓ They always prefer listening to music rather than singing because it helps them to relax and relieve their stress.
The verb 'prefer' should be followed by the gerund without 'to' (i.e., 'prefer listening'). Also, 'listening music' requires the preposition 'to'. 'Leaving their stress' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'relieve their stress'.
