Trading Places: This movie is testing heredity vs. environment by switching a "have" preppie Aykroyd and a "have-not" road hustler Murphy.

Jackson, Giovanni Ribisi, Tim Daly, Roselyn Sanchez, and Harry Connick. (2003 minutes, 1995)

Hone Your Singing Voice With Vocal Training

By Skyler Jett

We are all born with a gift, and this gift comes in many different forms. You probably have a talent in public speaking, or a talent in writing... or both. Whether your gift is in performing arts, like singing, dancing and/or acting... they will be nothing if they aren't perfected. Remember, you and other people will be able to fully appreciate your gift or talent it is is utilized.

Now, let's talk about the gift of music, specifically the gift of having a great singing voice. For those who don't really know what's up and about singing, they often think that all the professional singers out there were simply born to sing. What they do not know is that these singer spend thousand and thousand of times to hone their voice through vocal training.

Let's take the very popular American Idol for example. Majority of people who are auditioning are talented. Most can carry a tune and can hit notes perfectly. But the organizer of the talent search is not only looking for that. They are looking for an "Idol" material. One that has all the package. Let's say this person have the it, but the judges think, there's room to improve. Does this one person, after having vocal training, can win the search?

The contenders in American Idol aren't only there to sing like they know how to. They are also trained and their voice is being honed, this is why they get better as they move towards the next week and to the next. With a deeper understanding of the music, producers and judges expect them to master their songs. Mastering the song does not mean, sing the song in a really good way, it also mean sing with your heart, and let the song affect your emotions.

If you are someone who wants to take voice to the next level, say professionally, come to terms with the imperativeness of vocal training. There is more to singing than belting and bellowing your lungs out. Even the best composed songs falter when delivered by a flat voice. Vocal training will teach you how to take care of your voice, how to breathe properly while singing and how to produce a powerful and dynamic sound.

Singing is a serious business. It's not a mere past-time for those who want to be a professional singer, more so to those who want to make a living out of their singing talent. If singing is the bread-and-butter, then vocal training is a must to step up your plate. Understanding the highs and lows of music is important. There are those who rely on synthesizers though. But you do not have to be that kind of singer. Vocal training can give you the edge that you need to make it big in the music industry.

If there's one thing that you can get in vocal training other than honing your singing voice, that would be discipline. This learning can really take you to where you want to be someday. With discipline, you will be able to keep yourself away form temptations of smoking, drinking and all-night partying. Bear in mind, if you've got the talent, you have to hone it, and then take good care of it. Otherwise, that talent is nothing. Your voice is your asset, and nothing can take that away from you, unless you let them.

Sweets and dairy are not exactly prohibited but it is best if you do not consume much. This sort of food is mucus-forming, hindering the movement of your vocal chords. Smoking contributes to the deterioration of the muscles, limiting your range and shortening your breath. Alcohol is dehydrating so when your entire body suffers, the quality of your voice is also deeply affected.

The gift of singing is such a powerful gift. It can change people's way of thinking and can touch people's lives. Share it, but first improve it with vocal training. - 18762
