✓ Yes, I really do like singing because it's a very good way for me to relax and to exercise more to feel the feelings of the song.
The phrase 'do really like' is awkward; 'really do like' is the correct adverb placement for emphasis. Also, 'relax myself' is incorrect; 'relax' is a transitive verb here and does not need a reflexive pronoun.
× It will be me immersed in it.
✓ I will be immersed in it.
The phrase 'It will be me immersed in it' is incorrect. The correct structure is 'I will be immersed in it' using the passive participle 'immersed' and the correct subject pronoun 'I'.
× No, I have no experience of learning how to sing, especially those singing skills or those pitch.
✓ No, I have no experience learning how to sing, especially those singing skills or pitch.

× But I learned how to sing a song by myself just to follow lyrics.

The original sentence is incomplete and lacks a main verb. Adding 'is that' completes the sentence and clarifies the cause-effect relationship.

✓ I usually sing for my friends because my friends also like singing songs; we go to karaoke maybe once a week or three times a month.

× It's a good way for us to relax or just enjoy the life.
✓ It's a good way for us to relax or just enjoy life.
The phrase 'enjoy the life' is incorrect; 'life' is uncountable here and does not need the definite article 'the'.

✓ When you are singing, you can show your voice to your friends or to the audience, and they can enjoy the music itself, and you can also enjoy your friends' songs.
'Saying' should be 'singing'. 'Enjoy just the music itself' is awkward; 'enjoy the music itself' is better. 'The your friends songs' is incorrect; it should be 'your friends' songs' with the possessive apostrophe.
