So you have decided that you would like to sing, and sound better than you do now? Well this is a great place to start to gather information on being taught how to sing. We all (or at least most of us) enjoy singing as we go about our daily tasks, or even joining in with the karaoke on a Friday night.But have you ever had the desire to learn to sing properly? Perhaps even to aim to sing in front of an audience? Going for singing lessons is great, you'll get so much more out of your voice by training it properly. One of the important things that you will learn in singing lessons by professionals such as Brett Manning, or through a learn to sing class, is proper breathe control. Without knowing this, you can't expect to get very far.
Wherever you decide to have your singing lessons, you will be able to learn various exercises to help you with the very basics of singing, and breathing in the right way. People seem to get the wrong idea about singing lessons and make it much harder than it needs to be. Granted you will have to put some effort in and spend time between lessons practicing yourself, but all the work will be worth it in the end.The whole point of learning to sing is because you want to enjoy it, and to get the full amount out of your lessons you will need a fair bit of tuition. This is where if you decide to have one on one tuition you will make a rather large hole in your wallet as the weeks and months go by.
There are a lot of other learn-to-sing programs out there but they just don't compare to Singorama: This is the best of the lot, the only one you want to think about utilizing if you are serious about obtaining the results you've always wanted. Make no mistake about it, Singorama is about the highest standards of singing professionalism and yet, as valuable as it is, it has been carefully produced to be straightforward and a joy for you. Its well-written directions are extremely easy to follow. It is jam-packed with twenty-eight interactive lessons, two-fully-illustrated books which contain step-by-step directions which are reinforced by audio files. Also built-in is Singorama's "Perfect your Pitch" software as well as the "Mini Recording Studio" software.
You'll be given lots of original songs and audio exercises for you to learn with. These include solo singing, singing warm-ups, singing in harmony, singing for auditions and very much more. The included Singorama "Mini Recording Studio" software features many tools including a virtual piano for working on scales and songs. Just imagine adding a WHOLE OCTAVE to your vocal range! Imagine how others will be blown away by your pitch-perfect singing. Just imagine how much your self-confidence and stage presence will soar! You'll be singing from your heart, not your mind, and your audience will see that right away.
Many people will maintain quite strongly that singing is a natural ability that you are born a singer or you're not. Now I will concede that there are many 'natural' singers in the world and I wouldn't even be surprised if the vast majority of professional singers were naturally gifted. But given will and determination almost anyone can learn to sing.
You see, like pretty much all of the major arts, singing is an extremely technical study. There can be a thousand ways to do something wrong and only 3 ways to do it right and only the eyes and ears of a highly skilled and experienced vocal coach can give you the immediate, actionable feedback you need to correct you AS you're actually performing the act.But, if for whatever reason you can't or don't want to take singing lessons - which, many people don't, and yes, they're very expensive! - then there are still A LOT of resources you can learn from and apply to your singing on your own.
Even just the act of sitting down in a room with some music playing and mindfully singing along to your favorite songs can help you gain awareness of your body, voice tone, range limitations, etc. On top of that, there are TONS of books on singing. Many of them have really great advice, although some of them can get a little technical with information about anatomy, acoustics, etc. I'd say that Richard Miller's "Art of Singing" and most books about SLS (speech level singing) are great places to start to begin understanding the fundamentals of healthy vocalism, although chances are good you already have a somewhat intuitive understanding of what good singing is and bad singing is; what sounds brilliant and what sounds god-awful.
To understand how we all should be breathing observe a baby in its cot. Notice the way its belly swells up with each breath it takes? That's because it is using its diaphragm. Now no one taught it to breathe that way except nature and I do think, in cases like this nature knows best. As we get older we get lazy and take shot breaths through our chests. In order to sing properly you've got to go back to been a child and re-learn how to use your diaphragm.The first thing you need to do then is discover how much control, or the lack of it, you have over your breath.
To get a physical feel for what your breathing is really like try this. Place your left hand over your stomach, with your thumb on your belly button, place your right hand on top. Now take a deep breath in through your nose and let your hand feel the expansion in your stomach as your belly fills up with fresh oxygen.Now try and hold it there and count to five, it's difficult I know, especially if this is your first time. OK it is time to exhale on a slow count to five release your breath mellow and slow, conserving every last bit of it. Was it difficult?
Even though I studied classical operatic voice in University, performed in local opera and musical theatre productions, sang in high-level choirs and taught students of all ages in my private studio, I left that profession to do internet marketing. I don't want to bore you with my personal story (that's what the about page is for ) but I have an important point to make. When you study classical singing, there's a definite RIGHT way to sing and definite WRONG way to sing.
When you're paying money, on the other hand, you get a pang when you feel like you're just throwing it away! Listen to your favorite songs and artists and try to emulate them just be careful about trying to sing songs that are way too high for you and straining your voice. Also, emulate the songs but don't emulate the singer. You have your own voice, your own style and your own interpretive abilities. Use them! Don't become a second-hand singer. Learning to sing will still present certain frustrations for you but just take your time and do what you can and slowly push yourself a little more each time.
