× Yes, I enjoy singing both as a happy and my area of interest.
✓ Yes, I enjoy singing both as a hobby and as my area of interest.
The word 'happy' is incorrectly used here; the correct word is 'hobby' which means an activity done for pleasure. 'Happy' is an adjective describing emotion, not an activity.
× I had been a singer since a child, not professionally but in academic prospects.
✓ I have been a singer since I was a child, not professionally but in academic contexts.
The past perfect tense 'had been' is incorrect here because the action started in the past and continues to the present; present perfect 'have been' is appropriate. Also, 'since a child' should be 'since I was a child' for clarity. 'Academic prospects' is incorrect; 'academic contexts' or 'academic settings' is better.
× I have studied it extensively and I enjoy classical and neoclassical music.
✓ I have studied it extensively and I enjoy classical and neoclassical music.
This sentence is correct; no correction needed.
× I had taken music classes and singing classes to know more about it.
✓ I have taken music classes and singing classes to learn more about it.
The past perfect 'had taken' is incorrect here because the action is relevant to the present; present perfect 'have taken' is appropriate. Also, 'to know more about it' is better expressed as 'to learn more about it'.
× I can sing western pop and Indian classical music.
✓ I can sing Western pop and Indian classical music.
The word 'Western' should be capitalized as it is a proper adjective referring to a region. The conjunction 'and' is correctly used here.
× It's my favorite hobby and a passionate lifestyle or something.
✓ It's my favorite hobby and a passionate lifestyle, or something like that.
The phrase 'or something' is informal and incomplete; adding 'like that' makes it clearer. Also, 'favorite' is American English spelling; if British English is preferred, use 'favourite'.
× I want to sing for myself as it's my creative expression and for my audience who make singing a career opportunity.
✓ I want to sing for myself as it's my creative expression and for my audience who make singing a career opportunity for themselves.
The phrase 'for my audience who make singing a career opportunity' is incomplete; adding 'for themselves' clarifies that the audience pursues singing as a career.
× For me, singing is the best way I express my performative career.
✓ For me, singing is the best way to express my performative career.
The original sentence lacks the infinitive 'to' before 'express' which is necessary to complete the meaning.
× It has helped me gain financial independence too.
✓ It has helped me gain financial independence too.
This sentence is correct; no correction needed.
× As a singer, I observe that music helps people to express their emotions even when they are not being simulated by the same.
✓ As a singer, I observe that music helps people to express their emotions even when they are not experiencing the same feelings.
The phrase 'not being simulated by the same' is incorrect and unclear. 'Simulated' means imitated, which is not appropriate here. 'Experiencing the same feelings' is clearer and correct.
× Singing has always been people's way to vocalize their thought process too.
✓ Singing has always been people's way to vocalize their thought processes too.
The phrase 'thought process' should be plural 'thought processes' because people have multiple thoughts. Also, 'way to vocalize' is acceptable here.
