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.
The ideal drink is water. Herbal tea is okay, though the best temperature for fluid is lukewarm. No pop or alcohol: these cause you to burp and sometimes irritate the throat. Avoid anything that you are sensitive to, like sulfites, and foods which cause mucus (such as juice or milk) or coughing (like nuts).
The next important rule is breathing. Air comes from the diaphragm, not the nose. This is a mistake many people make when first trying to sing. They try to force sound out of their throats and noses, not realizing how much more effective proper breathing would be.
Try a few sounds caused by pushing air out quickly, like ha, ha, ha. Feel your upper abdomen moving in and out, though not shoulders moving up and down. Air comes from this area between stomach and rib cage and is crucial for controlling volume, getting the right note and moving between notes.
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.
Develop confidence. Nerves seriously affect the sound you make, giving it a warbly texture. Pretend that every note is perfect. Sometimes, the confidence you exude is enough to convince audience members that every note is, indeed, perfect.
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 critical as with any new skill. Throat muscles need time to develop. Confidence builds. Before long you might have the courage to stand up in front of a crowd instead of just singing along to the radio, although if this gives you pleasure, then enjoy it even more with better control. Soon, a range of one and half octaves will stretch a full half octave, opening a range of songs you would never have thought to sing before.
