Don’t Strain Yourself and Your Voice
Many beginning singers commonly makes the same mistake, they abuse their voice too much. The voice exercise sessions should not be for too long to avoid strain both in the voice and in your body. Exhaustion can make your singing lesson less enjoyable. Remember that for a beginner who are taking singing lessons, 15 minutes of vocal exercises is more than enough, too much actually.
Master the Breathing Exercises
We already know that breathing and proper breathing is the first most important thing in singing and if you have that kind of list, breathing is probably in the first item.
Knowing and mastering the breathing exercises is important to improve your voice. Do the breathing exercises before you try vocal exercises.
To refresh your memory, here is the quick and dirty, fast review on how to do the breathing exercises. This is done with you lying flat n your back with your hands on your waist. Let your fingers face your belly button. You then try to fill up your stomach with air. You should be filling it from the bottom to the top and taking slow deep breath. It most of the time helps to time yourself. Count slowly to ten and breath slowly, releasing the air. Repeat in 5 repetitions.
Schedule Your Exercises
It’s important to be organized. This applies to singing too. Create a regular schedule and take note of it. You can try doing the exercise when you wake up in the morning and just about before you hit the sack at night. Doing this regularly will make it second nature to you. Also eventually you should try and increase this 3 to 4 times a day.
Breathing and Posture
Remember that you must first master the breathing exercises then you can start the vocal techniques for singers. One very important technique in order for your voice to sound great is to have good posture. There is a lot of muscle movement going on inside of you when you are singing.
There is a correct way of posture if you are learning the proper way to sing. It will affect how you sing if you do not do the correct way of standing up or sitting down when singing.
“Hear” the sound
When we say, hearing the sound, what is really meant was to hear it mentally. That is the next technique. It is important that we hear the notes, specially the first few notes of the song. The reason for this is that you could be ‘off note’ and you are not even aware of it. Vocal techniques for singers such as these are really important so that you sound at your best.
With this technique you need to imagine the sound of the first note and hear it in your mind. You need to imagine the exact sound that you want to make – I promise you will make it! Just try and see!
