I have proved myself that I am a good singer.
OR
I have proven myself that I am a good singer.
Which one is it? Which one's grammatically ok.

| Both are OK. The past participle of �prove� could be either �proved� or �proven�. |

But both sentences are missing a critical word: to.
I have proved to myself that I am a good singer.
I have proven to myself that I am a good singer.
(I like "proven" better, but I think both are correct.)

| There is another possible meaning, also requiring changes to the original sentences. I have (proven)(proved) myself to be a good singer. |
