Yes I have, Sydney has been one of my longest hobby and I train professionally. When I was in grade 5 and 6, I really enjoyed the training because it helped me to develop various vocal techniques and improve my world significantly. Sometimes singing becomes my strong point, especially when I perform as my friend and I'm kinda proud about that.

Who do you want to sing for?
考生
I'm thinking of two groups of people when I would love to sing. First, my friends and 2nd my family. Personally, I'm quite shy, especially when it comes to singing or speaking in public. However, I really enjoy performing for others and bring them happiness. So singing for my friends and family during gatherings is my top choice because it feels more comfortable and meaningful.

× For example, when I'm feeling overwhelmed, singing my favorite songs help me calm down and lift my mood.
✓ For example, when I'm feeling overwhelmed, singing my favorite songs helps me calm down and lift my mood.
The subject 'singing my favorite songs' is singular, so the verb should be 'helps' to agree in number. Using 'help' is incorrect because it is plural form.
× Yes I have, Sydney has been one of my longest hobby and I train professionally.
✓ Yes I have, singing has been one of my longest hobbies and I train professionally.
The word 'Sydney' is likely a typo for 'singing'. 'Hobby' should be plural 'hobbies' because it is preceded by 'one of my longest', which requires a plural noun.
× Sometimes singing becomes my strong point, especially when I perform as my friend and I'm kinda proud about that.
✓ Sometimes singing becomes my strong point, especially when I perform with my friend and I'm kinda proud of that.
The preposition 'as' is incorrect here; 'with' is appropriate to indicate performing together. Also, 'proud about' should be 'proud of' as the correct collocation.
× I'm thinking of two groups of people when I would love to sing.
✓ I'm thinking of two groups of people for whom I would love to sing.
The phrase 'when I would love to sing' is incorrect; it should be 'for whom I would love to sing' to correctly express the intended meaning.
× Personally, I'm quite shy, especially when it comes to singing or speaking in public. However, I really enjoy performing for others and bring them happiness.
✓ Personally, I'm quite shy, especially when it comes to singing or speaking in public. However, I really enjoy performing for others and bringing them happiness.
The verb 'bring' should be in the gerund form 'bringing' to parallel 'performing' and maintain correct sentence structure.

✓ Definitely, music is such a ubiquitous thing in different parts of the world to express happiness, and singing itself can evoke many feelings and emotions as well as happiness, especially when the lyrics are high and the rhythm is light.
The phrase 'express their happiness' is incorrect because 'their' is unclear; 'express happiness' is more general. 'Make a lot of feelings' is unnatural; 'evoke many feelings' is better. 'Lyrics' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' not 'is'.
