Before starting your singing practice, it is a good idea to correct your posture, if necessary, and do some voice warm up exercises. The following points give an insight into the nature of warm up exercises and an idea of what they entail.

Posture

Keep your head turned slightly upwards without stretching your neck.

Relax your shoulders but not hunched forward.

Stand straight with legs slightly apart and not rigid at the knees.

Allow your weight to be distributed equally on both feet.

Don’t tighten your stomach or back muscles.

Arms by your side

If you have been feeling tense, do some relaxation exercises*(see below) 

 

   

Warming Up Your Voice   

Start by singing up and down a scale using the: doh, ray, me, fa, so, la, te, doh. Remember to pronounce the vowels in an exaggerated style.

Sing the scales using long, drawn out notes and short clipped notes.

Sing the word “ung”, only allowing the sound to come out through the nose. This is known as the “siren” and is practised by many professional singers. To check that you are doing it correctly - pinch your nose and the sound should be cut off.

Humming is also another effective warm up strategy.

Control Tone and Breath

The following exercise is designed to increase breathing capacity and strengthen the stomach muscles. This exercise must be performed in one breath. Select a note that you are comfortable with, preferably somewhere in your mid-range. Draw in a deep breath and begin singing the sound ”ee” very softly, then, build  up strength until you are singing with intensity. Try to stay on key , then slowly revert back to a soft voice. Do not sing to the point where it is uncomfortable as this will strain you voice.

*Relaxation exercises

A very quick and effective method of relaxing you muscles is as follows.

Sitting comfortably in a chair, focus on you feet and imagine that they are very relaxed. Become very aware of them and start to feel any stress being removed from them.

Next make your way up the leg and focus on your calf muscles. Again, imagine them to be very relaxed and tension bing removed.

Continue this train of thought traveling up the body to your head.

When you have finished (it should only take around 10 minutes), keep sitting for another few minutes and allow the relaxation to wash over you. Do not get up suddenly, but gently rise from the chair and you are good to go.

Singing goes back to the beginning of time, and in this era it is an activity which can bring pleasure and a peacefulness in this stressful, full-on world we live in. One upon a time singing was for those who had the gift from day one, but these days it is very possible to learn how to sing with without any technique or ability from the outset with the help of voice training lessons  and many go on to earn a decent living in the process and/or simply have a additional enjoyable and satisfying skill.

Most people, whether they realise it or not have a sense of pitch and a tone which can be honed to a reasonable if not beautiful and pitch perfect tone. It is the willingness to learn and perseverance with the voice training lessons which gives the required result.

There are many different forms of training for the voice, but most focus on the main attributes including breathing and the shape of the mouth and larynx when training the ear for pitch. Other components include the correct use of the diaphragm for a stronger more powerful sound which has more impact and the different voices - the head voice and the chest voice. This can branch out to different types of power such as the style of falsetto used in opera singing or the more aggressive style used by artists such as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey in pop and rock music/R and B etc.

Depending on the reason for learning to sing whether it is simply for fun in the privacy of your own home or performing to others in a band, there are different levels of intensity training.

Initially, when learning to sing via voice training lessons , there will be warm up exercises performed to loosen up the voice. All professional singers no matter how good they are need to loosen and warm up the voice for a performance. This will take the form of singing scales using different muscles of the mouth and throat, exactly the same as if you were warming up for a workout, except it the muscles of the mouth, throat and diaphragm area.

After this, training will move on to encompass whatever type of singing is preferred such as pop, opera, choir, however there are generic techniques which are required no matter which type of singing is to be learned and again, it requires the discipline to practice, the same as any other musical instrument requires practice in order to become accomplished. As long as you have the ability to hear, you can achieve at the very least a perfectly acceptable singing voice.

The best voice training packages will include instruction to allow a beginner to progress on to professional standard at an easy to follow and safe rate. 

This voice training product encompasses all the necessary features that will allow anyone to become an accomplished singer.
