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 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.
The voice needs to be worked and exercised like any other part of your body you would want stronger. So get set for some vocal stretching, voice warm ups and even some cool downs.
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 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 know this may sound strange but pant like a dog for a few seconds. Try that or use the "hut hut" like a quarterback. If you do this accurately you should feel the pressure from just under your ribs. Sometimes you hear people say "sing from your belly" this is what they actually mean. It will take time and exercise to get this diaphragm muscle functioning in sync with our voice but when it does, watch out.
Lastly remember to cool your voice down; again you can do this with hums. Taking care of your voice is a constant job. You need to keep an eye on what you eat. Milk, french fries, or spicy tacos (all my favorites) are bad for your voice. Even our daily volume when speaking should be under control as we do not want to lose our voice and damage our chords.
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. - 18762
