If you want to learn to sing, you need to practice every day. While the vocal training helps significantly, if you can't take part there is a way to learn by yourself. It will take time, but you should start to see results early by simply following the steps below. This article will give you some tips on learning to sing.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Warm up

1. 

   Warm up with breathing exercises. Breath exercises give you greater control over the pitch and endurance of your vocals. It is not surprising that singers with the ability to breathe deeply and regularly sing for longer.
   • Practice throat opening. Relax and open your mouth wide like a stranded fish. Exercise a little facial muscles.
   • Try the following breathing exercises before warming up:
     
     • First, take a few breaths. As you breathe in, imagine that the air actually has a heavy weight.
     • Draw air down to the knitting pad (below the navel) by pushing the diaphragm down deeply. Exhale and then repeat the same process a few more times.
     • Take the feather of a light pillow and practice keeping it hovering in the air, as if juggling the feather with your aura. Gradually blow the feather high up and try to keep it from falling.
     • Do not let your chest flatten while holding the feather in the air. Try to breathe out when the diaphragm rises.

2. 

   
   
   Start-up. The vocal cords are muscles like your arm muscles that need to be stretched before lifting a heavy object. You can start up in many ways.
   • Practice humming or singing with a high voice, then sing again in a low voice. When you sing in high voice, the vocal chord relaxes, and when singing in a low voice, the vocal cords contract. When you sing high and then sing low, the vocal chords become more flexible.
   • Practice singing with major scales, starting with the C note, lowering a half step and then running the scale down before moving up. Don't rush to use too much strength while not singing, try to warm up slowly. The more you warm up, the sharper each note will be in the scale.
     
     • The notes you sing will be Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Son-Fa-Mi-Re-Do in turn and can go up or down a half step for each new scale.

3. 

   
   
   Find your voice interval. Voice span is the range between the lowest and highest tones that you can sing. Try listening to most of the classical music scales (you can easily find them online) to see which notes are the highest and lowest notes that you can't sing.
   • To find the interval, hum and minimize your voice. The lowest note you can clearly hum is the lower limit of the vocal range. You will then hum in maximum high pitch. The highest note you can hold for 3 seconds is the upper limit of the vocal range.
   • Remember that the vocal range can change every day, especially if you are tired or sick.

4. 

   
   
   Try recording your favorite song performed by yourself. Make sure the background music doesn't drown out your voice while recording. After singing, check to see if you sang to the correct pitch. Also check to see if you've:
   • Sing words clearly or not, especially vowels. At first, pay attention to sing louder and clearer than usual; practice singing so that each word is correct.
   • Get steam properly or not. The difficult song often requires you to use your voice continuously for a long time. So you need to know how to take good steam.

5. 

   Drink a lot of water. It is best to drink lukewarm water, as this relaxes the vocal cords. Wait for your body to absorb the water. Avoid dairy products or solid drinks such as smoothies right before singing.

6. 

   Practice every day. Daily breathing, warm-up and voice recording practice. Listen carefully to the difficult parts that you sing forever. Remember that to sing a good song can take several weeks of practice.
   • If you feel your voice vibrate, take a deep breath to relax your ribs. This will help stabilize your breathing and thus stabilize your voice too.

Part 2 of 3: Developing your voice

1. 

   Learn how to use your nose. Good singing has a little to do with the way in which you bring air to the nasal cavity; That is the part that resonates with the sound of the body. However, to avoid the nasal voice, you have to open your throat and place your tongue so that it does not block the path of the sound coming up from the larynx (push the tongue a little forward, touch the back of the lower teeth when singing the vowels. ). Nasal voice usually appears in country music and some R&B or gospel music, but most listeners think nasal sound is not nice sound.

2. 

   Learn how to "sing safely" to make your voice thicker. The full, resonant voice is thanks to the wide throat opening and the restriction of the nasal voice. This is considered "Sing safe". However, be careful. If you sing too safely, the resulting sound will sound thin and smooth.

3. 

   Practice singing vowels. Try to sing using the diaphragm again. What you need to pay attention to is the vowel, not the consonant.
   • Do not strain the neck muscles when singing. Keep the neck straight and comfortable.
   • Practice opening the larynx when singing vowels. Practice singing "ng" sound; then the larynx will be closed. Now practice singing "ah", similar to when you open your mouth to check with the dentist. The larynx will now open.

4. 

   Practice singing high notes. The high note is like the cream on a cake: not necessarily, but it would be nice to sing it properly. By now you should have understood your vocal range, so you probably already know what notes you can sing and which notes are out of range. Practice singing the notes you are not up to. Has iron grinding makes perfect.
   • Achieving high notes is like jumping. Maybe you are jumping on a trampoline, or simply jumping into the air. Imagine when you can dance to the highest level when you sing the high notes.Take a deep breath and open up your mouth. Singing high notes doesn't mean you have to sing too loud.

5. 

   Continue to practice breathing. Maintain regular breathing exercises. The more you take the breath properly, the better the singing process will be.
   • Try the breathing exercises below to learn how to inhale and exhale. Make sure that you blow out evenly and without interruptions. Managing uninterrupted exhalation is the goal to aim for in this exercise:
     
     • Inhale for 4 seconds, then exhale for 4 seconds.
     • Inhale for 6 seconds and let out 12 seconds.
     • Inhale for 2 seconds and let out 10 seconds.
     • Inhale for 4 seconds and let out 16 seconds.
     • Inhale for 2 seconds and let out 16 seconds.
     • Inhale for 4 seconds and let out 20 seconds.
     • Inhale for 2 seconds and let out 20 seconds.

Part 3 of 3: Combining all the ways

1. 

   Take part in a local singing competition. Think about what to expect from your performance; If you've been singing for less than three months and without proper training, you'll have a hard time — but singing is your passion, right?
   • If you really want to be a professional singer, you need to get used to singing in front of a crowd, under the pressure of the spotlight. Singing in the bedroom is one thing; Singing in front of dozens, hundreds of people is a completely different story.

2. 

   Make sure you get guidance from a qualified teacher if you are serious about developing skills. The vocal teacher can give direct suggestions as well as give great advice and tips. They will develop a learning pathway and help you achieve your goals. For anyone intending to become a singer, a vocal teacher is a necessity.

3. 

   Perform songs without accompaniment when you feel confident. Upload your video to the YouTube site. The positive feedback you get is often more helpful than the negative feedback. advertisement

Advice

• If you can't find a singing teacher or are afraid to sing in front of strangers, try to practice singing with someone you know who loves singing or likes your voice. Invite them to come home and practice in a small room, practice for 5 to 6 months until you get the hang of it. This way really works.
• Don't try to force your breath out. You should let the steam flow naturally.
• Whenever you think about exercising, do the right breathing. Proper breathing increases the endurance so you can sing for longer.
• Sit upright in the right posture - don't let your shoulders slump and sing the vowel with depth.
• Sing the right tone. This is similar to when singing the side part, the notes in the sub-part are sung interwoven with the notes in the main part. Experience the view! Usually the volume of the voice will be loud when you sing. To sing well, imagine that vocals are like voices, if you want to speak louder and pronounce clearly, you need to inhale and exhale properly.
• If you're afraid your voice isn't good enough to post on YouTube, try getting your friends' opinions, then sing more to strangers until you're ready to receive positive comments and won't be wavered by comments. negative comments on YouTube.
• Instead of pushing your tongue against the inside, try placing your tongue on top of your lower teeth, almost sticking out of your mouth. Relax your jaw to make the sound come out better.
• To aid in the breathing practice (this is also used in meditation), put your hands on your stomach and feel the movement. For men, it is possible to squeeze the abdomen in by wearing a tight belt.
• When learning to sing, the most important thing is practice. If you sing every day, even just for relaxation, you will soon become a qualified singer.

Warning

• Do not drink milk before singing as it produces mucus in the mouth and throat.
• No smoking. Tobacco is bad for your lungs and voice, and you need both to breathe and sing!
• In the beginning, don't sing continuously for too long. The vocal cords are muscles that need to be added to increase strength and flexibility.
• Clearing your throat by coughing can damage your voice.
• When singing for a long time, take a good sip or suck on cough candy.
• Don't hold a reminder as this will decrease your ability to convey the emotions of the song. Be confident and look around at all times, but don't focus too much on people's eyes or facial expressions.
