Singing Tips You Must Not Be Without
I personally cannot think of a better way to give yourself to others then through singing. You use your voice to convey, express, share and just about everything. But allowing personality to shine through the art of singing is incredible. Be aware that this does take patience and time. Your voice is your instrument. So let's go over some singing tips.
I honestly believe that anyone can sing. While there are a few who are truly blessed with a natural gift and ability, anyone can with practice and exercises, work their voice into an exquisite instrument. You must practice your singing like you would any other skill.
You train your voice with vocal aerobics to help increase strength similar to how we would exercise any other muscle. This means that like any other training we need to stretch, warm up and cool down our instrument.
My absolute favorite exercise for stretching is the good ole hum. You can hum anytime and you should do it all the time. This thoroughly wakes up the chords and gives them a nice warm buzz. Now I know I don't need to teach you how to hum but there is a correct way. Go slow and relaxed, at a gentle volume, using Mmm or Nnn. Never overdo this. We should never feel strain anywhere in the throat or neck. Our aim is a gentle and easy buzz.
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, pause. Don't look to push it up there. Just go back down the scale easy and smooth. Great singers do not push, we should never force a note out. There is no need to tense up your neck or throat. Remember it will take time to develop your voice.
So how can we sing without tightness? Well with proper breath support. Breathing is a critical part of becoming a skillful singer. You truly need to learn about your diaphragm and how to breath from it. This is the muscle that essentially pulls air into your lungs. I'm sure you had hiccups before, well the diaphragm is the culprit here.
The chimpanzee exercise is awesome just "ooh ooh ah ah" for a bit. Try that or using the "hut hut" like a football player. You should experience this coming from the muscle above your belly button. That spot is where we want our singing to come from. It will take practice and exercise to get this diaphragm muscle working as one with our voice but when it does, look out.
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.
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. - 18762
