Singing Tips!
Drink plenty of water.
Pour your emotions into the song and use facial expressions while you sing.
Pick a song suitable for your vocal range. (With notes you feel more comfortable singing.)
Chest voice is usually a deep sound produced at the lower part of one's range. Head voice is softer and mor
e gentle. Likewise, mask voice is a combination of the 2 and you can feel this vibration slightly below the eyes on the bones of your cheeks when you are singing in this register.
Registers are simply the prospect of getting as many parts of your body in vibration as you sing. You will be able to know which register you are in because there is something called a "break" in your voice from one register to the next. Sing a note that is in the lower end of your range. As if a siren, move the pitch you are singing upward, allowing it to rise.
If you go high enough, and depending on where you are with developing your vocal range, you will experience a "break" in the sound of your "siren" where the vocal sound gets cut off. This is natural, and we all have this "break." The range of your voice before you reached this break was sung in chest register.
The sound produced after the break in a softer voice was sung in head register. Mask voice, which is in between the 2 distinguishing principles, was sung throughout the median pitches of your given range, before you reached the "break" point.
Breathe in through your nose, then plug your nose with a free hand. This is how it should feel when you sing. Practice singing without feeling the exhalation of the breath in your nose while you sing.
The soft pallet should always be raised. The object is to leave as much hollow space on the inner part of your mouth, so as to produce a sound that is round and full. Lower your tongue, allowing it to rest on the bottom of the mouth.
Elongate the jaw slightly. Your lips should form a small, round, circular, shape. Be sure not to open your mouth too much, as it may block the hollow passage of the roof of your mouth.
Singing louder and singing softer should take the same amount of breath support, and vocal strain should not be experienced, either way. Using diaphragm breathing, these variations can be controlled throughout the song.
Try alternatively bringing your right and left hands forward, one after and over the other. This technique is used to add volume to your voice to sing in forte or fortissimo.
Start from an estimated guess as to what you feel the note sounds like to match pitch. Move the pitch of your voice up and down the scale as a siren until you match the desired pitch. You will be able to hear and feel when you meet this match.
Begin with your hands on your stomach, placed on top of each other. Breath deeply and serenely through your nose so that the breath makes your stomach expand. As you exhale, your abdomen should contract slightly.
Your inhale should be deep to the full capacity extent in order to hold out notes and phrases, and for the purpose of singing in legato. The exhalation should be mellow and slow, conserving every last bit of breath to input into your voice before taking the next breath.
Place the feet shoulder width apart and slightly bend your legs. (to ensure they are not locked, as locking the knees for a lengthy period of time could result in unconsciousness.)
The back should be straight. Your neck should line up with the rest of your spine. The head should be not be tilted to either side. Focus the gaze straight ahead, keeping it relaxed.
Enunciate, or bring out, the consonants of the words in the song. You may also wish to place an emphasis on certain words.
Tuning involves singing the "target" of a note. This means singing exactly what the note should sound like, and not singing sharp or flat. You know you are singing flat when the pitch you are singing does not sound correct and is slightly, very slightly, lower than the note on a piano, etc. You know you are singing sharp when your voice is producing a pitch that does not sound correct and sounds slightly higher than the pitch you are attempting to sing on a piano or in a song, etc.
Sing a particular note while taking your index finger, and gently, very gently, pushing it towards the center of the forehead. This seems to produce a psychological effect on most singers to be able to hit the exact pitch. Be careful with this one if you will, being very gentle.
