Some Tips On How To Sing
Some people think singing comes naturally to only the gifted. Even the best singers get trainers, however, but poor voices can be taught to sing on key too. Learn some tips on how to sing with confidence and bring pleasure to others as well as yourself, whether on stage or in the shower.
One of the most important rules has to do with eating and drinking. Particularly if your voice will be relied upon in a choral setting, it matters to lots of people that singers restrain from certain food and drink. These are items which tend to cause a mucus build-up.
Water at any temperature or herbal teas are fine, but lukewarm water is ideal. With food, think of what irritates your airways. If any chemicals cause breathing issues such as sulfites, avoid these. Foods like nuts, granola bars and seeds tend to stick in the throat while juice and dairy products cause a build up of mucus.
A harder tip but one you can learn with practice is how to breathe. You might be wondering what this means when most people breathe without thinking about it. Breathing to sing work differently and requires a lot of concentration at first.
Work by alternative activities. Take a deep breath and sing an exercise like scales or intervals. Push out short breaths on one note, singing just ha, ha, ha.
Stand up straight, or sit straight in your chair, feet flat on the ground. Never slouch or sink into yourself. Keep the chest up, shoulders back and down. Never stretch your head back to force out notes as this simply cuts off air rather than giving you more power.
Be confident. Nerves are one of your worst enemies. Remember that half of the pleasure when watching someone sing, in a choir for example, is seeing members interested in the music. Nerves will cause the voice to wobble; anxiety takes away that precious air you spent so much time learning to control.
Get on top of each note. If you try to reach from beneath, the result will fall flat. Your aim is to drop down, not hover above in a screech or with a sharp effect. Be brave; aim high.
Practice is key, as with any skill. Throat muscles need to develop. They require the exercise of scales, of trying open and closed notes. You might notice it is easier to sing open vowels with clarity and volume than to open up the sound of a consonant. Over time, range will develop. One to one and a half octaves is normal. Extending personal range by half an octave should be considered an achievement and, with this extension, confidence in these notes will grow.
