Singing Tips That Will Take You To The Top
I personally cannot think of a better way to share yourself to others then through singing. Your voice is used for everything and we use it continuously. But really opening up and singing is not only enjoyable but a lovely art form. This does take some practice and proper building. Your voice is your instrument. So let's go over some singing tips.
I come from the camp that believes we all can sing. There unquestionably are those out there that have an incredible god given talent for singing but with some effort you too can get pleasure from singing. Just bear in mind that we need to work at it and exercise the voice like any other instrument.
You need to take care of and work out your vocals like any other muscle you would want stronger. That being said we also need to loosen up, stretch and cool down your voice after extended use.
The easiest and most perfect exercise to limber up or cool down is to lightly hum. You should do hums regularly. The buzzing thoroughly warms up the chords nicely and gets them lubricated. Now I know I don't need to teach you how to hum but there is a correct way. Soft and comfortable with an M sound or even N hum. There should never be any stress or tightness in your throat or neck. Our goal is a gentle and easy hum.
Next we will practice these hums with actual scales going in both directions up and down. If you get too high and your buzz cracks, stop. Don't look to force it up there. Just relax and move back down the scale nice and relaxed. Great singers do not force, we should never force a note out. Again we are keeping our throat and neck relaxed, never tight and forcing. Have patience, it does take time and practice to develop your voice.
So how can we sing without tension? Well with proper breath support. Breathing is a very important part of the process. You really need to learn about your diaphragm and how to breath from it. This is the muscle that regulates breathing. When the diaphragm gets confused the worst feeling in the world starts, hiccups.
I use the monkey "ooh ooh" for this. Try that or use the "hut hut" like a football player. If you do this accurately you should feel the pressure from just underneath your ribs. Occasionally you hear people say "sing from your belly" this is what they actually mean. Linking this muscle to your vocal flow can take practice and training but when you do your voice will flow incredibly.
Don't ever stop vocal training without cooling down with at least a few more gentle hums. If you serious about singing you will realize that this takes continuous work. Be aware of what you are putting into your body. Particular foods like dairy or spicy foods are terrible for your vocal chords. Keeping tabs on your speaking volume is important as well. We don't want to blow out our voice.
As with anything in life singing takes devotion, work, and time. It becomes a twenty four hour job that requires a special diet and practice. None of this matters when you start to hear the pay off. There is nothing quite like singing your feelings out loud for all to hear! There is no way to go over everything one requires to develop into a great singer in one article but I hope these singing tips help you on your way. - 18758
