Where do you like to sing? Belting it out in the shower, humming along in the car when no one is listening, or boldly at a karaoke bar? Singing has always seemed to me the most perfect means of expression as it is so spontaneous.
Do you wish your voice was stronger, sweeter, more powerful? In fact your voice is like a muscle.
It is something that you're going to train every single day and different exercises will train a different aspect and give a different result.
You have to train your singing voice like you would train your body, and you need vocal training to achieve those results.
Do you know that all the greatest and the best singers in the world take singing lessons to bring them to another level of excellent singing? Find a class or a teacher, either in person or online.
You'll want to have your goal in mind when selecting a class or teacher.
The instructor will help prevent incorrect techniques that can ruin your singing voice.
Investing in an experienced voice teacher is well worth the money.
If your voice is weak, know that this is usually caused by under-developed muscles or improper use of the resonators (the pharynx, the mouth, and the nasal cavity).
Muscles can be strengthened and with training you can learn how to use your resonators to project a powerful voice.
Singing muscles that must be developed in the same way athletes train their muscles.
Good singing is rather easy with tiny muscles involved in coordinating the voice and subtle vocal exercises are required to develop the muscle coordination.
You have to get as close as possible to your natural talking voice and make your singing more like a speech on musical pitch.
Your vocal coach will teach you to expand your range and the greater your vocal range, the more exciting and confident your singing will be.
One of the cornerstones of learning to sing is knowing how to breathe correctly and learn to control your breathing so that it is used to optimum effect when you sing.
Babies can breathe, yell and scream with optimum effect because they use their lungs without conscious thought.
As we grow older, some people become lazy in their habits only using the upper part of the lungs, taking a shallow breath instead of a normal one.
For singing well you need to control the lungs as well as the diaphragm.
Voice projection is the strength of speaking or singing whereby the voice is used loudly and clearly.
Breath technique is essential for proper voice projection.
Another important aspect of practicing pronunciation is the way the shape of the mouth and placement of the tongue for each vowel and consonant effects the tone and brightness of the notes produced.
Learning how to manipulate these shapes and positions in conjunction with correct breath control can aid in improving tone, range and clarity.
Investing in good vocal training is key to developing your voice, as we all know; destroying your voice from improper training is the big issue that you could easily face if you're not properly educated.
