If you want to take your singing voice to the next level; you are in a right place. Here you’ll learn how to improve and maintain your voice. This article is highly recommended for the beginners.
The following are the tips to sing better;
1.
Believe
in Yourself
The first thing you need as a new singer
is to believe in yourself. Stop comparing yourself with other singers out there.
You should know who you are and what you want to achieve. You’re unique, and
you should stay so to make it in this game.
The truth is you have something
different to offer. Your attitude towards your singing affects you in one way
or the other. BELIEVE IN YOURSEELF, no one else has what you have.
2.
Warm up
your voice every day.
Learn and try different
vocal warm ups exercises. Then choose what works for you. Use them daily. Yes, Everyday. Warm up your voice before singing
or singing exercises , it’s really advantageous; It help singers improve their
pitch, breath management and increases their vocal range.
One of the best and
recommended vocal warm up exercise is Lip trills on scales (From low to high
pitch and vice versa). I personally use this exercise up to date for warming
up. You too can try this one!
3.
Learn to
Breath Correctly.
Like an engine to the car, breathing
to singers. Different singing techniques depend on your breath management and
support. Therefore, even before thinking of training any vocal technique; learn
to breathe correctly.
There are plenty of
breathing techniques out there; don't be confused. Proper breathing for singers
is called Diaphragmatic Breathing. This kind of breathing engages the diaphragm
when singing. Diaphragm expands when inhale and contracts when exhale.
4.
Drink
plenty of Water.
If Breathing is an engine,
Water is a fuel. A vehicle cannot move without fuel. Water is essential for any
vocalist. Water makes your vocal cords hydrated and avoids friction.
A singer or vocalists is
advised to take 8 glasses of water a day. This means you should drink water
even when you don’t feel. Water will do you good, I promise. Make sure during
exercises or show a bottle of water is along side with you.
5.
Get
enough sleep.
Get enough sleep to stay
alert. When you’re tired, your vocal cords are probably tired too. Singers
should sleep at least 6 to 8 hours to ensure an alerted singing voice.
6.
Don't eat
or Drink everything.
Not everything that brought
on the dining table is friendly to singers. There are kinds of food and
beverages that negatively affects the vocal cords. Don’t take dairy products
before singing because they form mucus on the vocal cords which may cause
friction. Stop smoking and taking beers; this habits are not friendly to your
singing voice.
There are kinds of food
that works for some people and doesn't for others, therefore study what works
for you and what doesn't.
7.
Never Stop Learning
If you can enroll yourself to
a Singing Training Course do that. Never graduate from learning what you love.
Read many articles as possible on Singing and Singing exercises. Watch
different videos on YouTube and enroll to online singing courses. Ask
questions, when you do not understand.
