Singing Tips You Must Not Be Without
I personally cannot think of a better way to share yourself to others then through singing. You use your voice almost every minute of every day for everything. But genuinely opening up and singing is not only enjoyable but a lovely art form. Be aware that this does take patience and practice. 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 finish vocal training without cooling down with at least a few more soft hums. Taking care of your voice is a constant job. You need to keep an eye on what you eat. For example fried, spicy, or dairy foods are not good for your voice. You also need to be aware of your volume, do not yell or scream as that will just blow your vocal chords out.
Learning to sing takes practice and time. It is a 24 hour a day job to manage your talking, eating, and exercises. The benefits you will get back absolutely make it worth it. Nothing can compare to letting your voice loose for all to hear and love! There is no way to go over everything one needs to develop into a great singer in one piece of writing but I hope these singing tips help you on your way. - 18780
