Tips to Good Singing

1. The most important part about learning to breathe freely is to practice noticing how it is that you breathe. The more you know about your own habits, the easier it will be to release tensions and achieve free-flow while breathing.

   Breathe in so that your torso expands in all directions (downwards into your bowels, forward in your stomach and ribcage, backward in your lower back and ribcage and up into your shoulders [be sure not to raise your shoulders, however]). Remember not to hold anything in place, meaning, let the body do what it does. Allow your breath to touch the very bottom of your torso, breathe as deeply as possible as you can. As you get more into the technique, your back and sides will move with your breathing.
3. 3
   Without contracting your abdominal muscles, move your umbilical inward toward the spine. When you place your finger in front of your mouth, your breath should feel warm and sensuous. It should also be silent. The more noise made while breathing, the more tension there is.
4. 4
   Practice noticing the breath with everything you do, singing (or playing any other instrument), talking, exercising, or doing nothing in particular. Notice what happens to the breath while doing different activities.
5. 5
   Do breathing exercises to increase the amount of control you have with your diaphragm. To help build stamina and strength, breathe in for four seconds, hold for four seconds, then breathe out for four seconds. After you have mastered this, move to 6-6-6, then 8-8-8, all the way to 20-20-20, but do not go past 20.
6. 6
   Try not to think in terms of mastering breath. The best way to approach it, is to be a continual student. The moment you think you have mastered something, you stop learning.
7. 7
   When singing, you should feel like there is a band around your diaphragm (not when you breathe in).

   Tips good singing

   • Practice taking in deep breaths and exhaling slowly for as long as you can.
     1. • • A very good hint as to whether you are letting out a constant stream of air, required for proper technique, is by lightly touching your lips together and creating a bbbbbbbbbbb sound (like a motor boat sound) while humming a pitch or without. If your lips stop vibrating together, then the air has stopped flowing freely.
   • The Key to Proper Breathing is positioning your diaphragm correctly. When you're singing, your diaphragm should always be in a "poised" position.
     • Breathe in deeply right now and hold it.
     • Place your fingers on the fleshy part between your rib cages where they meet (right below the center of your bra if you're a girl)
     • As you breathe out, try to keep the part you are touching poised and sticking out but do not push against it. This is a terribly difficult thing to do and will probably not work the first few times you do it. However, this is how the diaphragm should be at all times while you are producing sound. It makes singing a lot easier.
   • Have good posture. Get your shoulders back (not way back, but not way forward), back straight, feet on the floor, shoulders relaxed.
   • When breathing in, pretend you are smelling a rose.
   • When breathing out, pretend there is a lit candle right in front of you, and you need to avoid blowing it out.
   • Pretend your diaphragm area is a balloon, getting bigger when air is put in, and getting smaller when you breathe out.
   • In this way, you are controlling duration through varied 'compression of the bellows' instead of 'restriction of the throat', an all too common problem.

   
   

   
   

   
   

   How To Improve Your Singing - For The Right Reasons

   If you are looking for ways to improve your singing or how to start singing better, take a moment and ask yourself this? Why do you sing in the first place? Your answer should come to you pretty quickly, and I bet that your answer has nothing to do with technique, exercises or your vocal range, etc. Your answer was probably something more along the lines of: "it feels good, or, "it's all I think about" or "it's the best way I know how to express myself". These are the reasons that you sing, because it comes from within and is a reflection of you. The reason I asked the question is because way to often people lose sight of why they are doing what they are when they are in the constant search of being the "bigger, biggest, best". If you keep with you the main reason for your singing, then a lot of the "vocal training" comes naturally.
   That being said, of course there are some tips and techniques that you can use to help train your voice and get it to where you want to be. Two of the biggest exercises might be two of the most obvious, but they are actually the least utilized. Interesting, isn't it. Well, those two thing are, singing itself and recording yourself. One of the biggest and best things you can do when you want to improve your singing, is to actually sing whenever and wherever you can, all the time. Your voice is just like anything else that you want to cultivate and the more you use it and work on it, the better it is going to become. It's a basic rule to follow but it is so very important. Your voice is a muscle that needs to be exercised and the more its exercised the better its going to perform for you. Have you ever noticed that sometimes a certain song comes on the radio that was never a problem for you to sing before, is now a little difficult for you to sing comfortably? This is because the muscle, "your voice", has not been exercised and therefore loses some of its ability. Sometimes it loses a lot of it ability. So doing the thing that you actually love the most, which is singing, you will regularly exercise the muscle at the same time.
   Another thing that you can do is to record yourself with a digital reorder. Now don't get shy all of a sudden here. You need to hear yourself so you can actually hear what you sound like not only when you are singing but when you play yourself back and hear first hand what you sound like. You might really like what you hear as a whole actually and that is the point. Training yourself to actually hear the real you, is an excellent trait of a serious singer. Now of course the goal is to also hear the things that you would like to work on, improve, tweak and adjust. Usually just like with anything else, you are your own worst critic so you don't need to be that harsh on yourself. You are training and exercising your voice and wanting to better yourself, so you want to hear the things that you would like to improve. So this should only be a positive mindset. If you can train yourself to hear the things that you would like to improve, then you are 3 steps ahead of the game.
   Always be proud of doing something that you love to do and wanting to better yourself along the way. Knowledge is the key and the more things you allow yourself to learn on a regular basis, the only outcome for you is to become a smarter, better, stronger, and more confident singer.
