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 come from the camp that believes we all can sing. Now I'm not saying that there aren't singers out there that genuinely have a pure gift, but with some work and help anybody can sing. Singing must be worked at and practiced like everything else.
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.
The easiest and most perfect exercise to limber up or cool down is to softly hum. You can hum anytime and you should do it all the time. This really wakes up the chords and gives them a good warm buzz. Everyone knows how to hum but there is a correct way. Go slow and easy, at a soft volume, using Mmm or Nnn. There should be no strain in your neck or throat. Our aim 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, 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.
To sing without tension in the neck comes from proper breath control. Breathing is a vital part of becoming a good singer. The breath support you will need for singing comes from the diaphragm. This muscle is the breathing regulator and controls breath. I'm sure you've 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 stop vocal training without cooling down with at least a few more gentle hums. If you serious about singing you will realize that this takes continuous work. Be aware of what you are putting into your body. Particular foods like dairy or spicy foods are terrible for your vocal chords. Keeping tabs on your speaking volume is important as well. We don't want to blow out our voice.
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. - 18423
