× my voice is not that good or soothing to ear
✓ my voice is not that good or soothing to the ear
The phrase 'soothing to ear' is missing the definite article 'the' before 'ear'. In English, when referring to a specific body part in a general sense, the definite article 'the' is used. So, it should be 'soothing to the ear'.
× I'm not much more into singing
✓ I'm not much into singing anymore
The phrase 'not much more into singing' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'not much into singing anymore' to indicate a decrease in interest. 'Much more' is used for comparisons, but here the intended meaning is a reduction in interest over time.
× I do have learned how to sing
✓ I have learned how to sing
The phrase 'I do have learned' is incorrect because it combines auxiliary verbs improperly. The correct present perfect form is 'I have learned'. 'Do' is not used with 'have' in this context.
× there used to be a singing class
✓ there used to be a singing class
This sentence is correct and does not require correction.
× it was not pouring and we used to have fun
✓ it was not boring and we used to have fun
The word 'pouring' is incorrect in this context. The intended word is 'boring', meaning not dull or uninteresting. 'Pouring' refers to heavy rain, which does not fit the context.
× they also love to hear it from my, uh, mouth
✓ they also love to hear it from me
The phrase 'from my, uh, mouth' is awkward and incorrect. The correct pronoun is 'me' as the object of the preposition 'from'. Saying 'from me' is natural and grammatically correct.
× I prefer her to sing
✓ I encouraged her to sing
The phrase 'I prefer her to sing' is incorrect in this context. 'Prefer' is not used to suggest or encourage someone to do something. The correct verb is 'encouraged' to express motivating someone to sing.
