Trying to Be Me is the only album by American country music singer Laura Bryna.

"Make a Wish", "Life Is Good" and "Hometown Heroes" were all released as singles.

Country Weekly gave the album two-and-a-half stars out of five, praising Bryna's voice but criticizing the album for containing "some of the most over-the-top tear-jerkers in recent memory.

"[1] Jacquilynne Schlesier of Country Standard Time similarly said that Bryna had "lots of character in the phrasing", but said "most of the lyrics sound like songs you've heard before.

"[2] PopMatters also criticized the album for "play[ing] a variety of obvious cards in her pursuit of country or pop audiences.
