How To Learn Singing

 

Is it possible to teach yourself how to sing? Definitely yes. You wouldn't believe how many people who are singers today were self-taught. The fact is that lessons from an experienced instructor can be very expensive and can cost you hundreds, or even thousands of dollars over time.With good instructions, you can teach yourself how to sing incredibly well and with today's advanced technology you can easily learn and practice singing using online programs. It's a lot easier than you might think.Singing is not a talent or a gift that you are born with. If you can talk, you can sing! And if you already sing well, you can certainly sing better! It's all about technique. Good singing is a skill - one almost anyone can learn.
The first thing to understand when learning how to sing is that your vocal apparatus (the source of your voice) is not contained in your throat. It is not just one organ, but a complex system composed of many parts: the torso, the neck, the head, the nose, lips, tongue, teeth, hard and soft palates, uvula, larynx, lungs, diaphragm, etc. In fact, you use your entire body when you sing.

You have to understand that your body has muscles that can be developed in the similar way athletes train their muscles. Learning how to sing is similar to learning a sport, you have to train and practice to get better. You have to learn the proper singing techniques such as proper breathing, finding your pitch, air flow, projection, breath control, phrasing and off course music theory. For all that you need some kind of coaching.
Since breathing is a three-dimensional process, try this. Breathe in deeply to connect with the diaphragm (muscle that lies underneath the lung sacs, as the lungs are not muscles). Your rib cage should expand and you should have a sense of "expanding" clear around the rib/abdominal area, as the diaphragm lowers, thus, filling the lungs. Exhale completely.

Do the above for 4 counts in and 4 counts out....all the while thinking of not only the three-dimensional expansion, but the silent intake of air, using that "yawning" sensation, which is only a helper for this training...yawning may not work perfect for other vocal techniques, like voice placement, but it does help relax the muscles for a quieter, quicker intake of air. Push out with the belly muscles as you sing or do your vocal exercises. You can even lie on the floor for this one with a book or a couple books on your belly to see how your breathing is doing. Can you raise the book while inhaling? If so, that is just one aspect of the three-dimensional aspect of proper breathing. This is just to demonstrate how you should be breathing. A coach online or offline should assist you in keeping track of these, to make sure you are developing proper habits. Poor habits are so hard to change, so give yourself some time, training, and practice. Do the above everyday (except the book part) for better control of your breathing and forming proper breathing habits.
