If you wanna improve your singing voice and get better, there are ways to do it.
Here’s a little step by step on how:
- Vocal coach: I don’t work with a vocal coach ’cause I don’t know any around my area so I just teach myself. I would like to work with a vocal coach though so I can learn how to hit the high notes and get an even stronger head voice.
- Vocal exercises: If you can’t find a vocal coach or can’t afford one, there’s all kinds of instructional CD’s/DVD’s out there that teach you how to sing with vocal exercises on them. Those things really work and they help. I work with the old-school Metal Method’s “Vocal Power” by Jim Gillette. That thing really helped me.
- Singing to your favorite songs and artists: Listen to your favorite songs that you’ve been inspired by and try to sing the way they do. I sing along to my favorite songs all the time and that also helped me greatly. It helps you master cover songs. Singing karaoke is a great practice tool admittedly. Listening to your favorite singers is a pretty important tool.
- Taking good care of your throat: To learn how to sing good, you gotta take care of your throat. They say drink warm liquids like warm water, hot tea, etc. They also say that eating honey helps make your throat stronger. I’ve never taken honey while singing but I think I will from this point on by consuming a spoonful of honey daily. Next time I hit the grocery store, I’ll get myself a thing of honey. A lot of singers say that honey is good for your throat. You also don’t wanna drink any alcohol, don’t smoke and don’t do drugs ’cause that stuff will ruin your singing voice. It’s part of why I try to stay away from alcohol.
- Your throat needs lots of resting: You don’t wanna over sing too much so your throat needs plenty of resting. Too much singing, you will ruin what you had and you could lose your voice easily. So practice singing for a long while and then stop. Your voice will improve after a lot of resting.
- Singing better takes time and patience: You will not become a great singer overnight. It takes a lot of time, patience and dedication. As you can tell by now, I’ve taken singing a lot more seriously than ever before. I wanna get good and prove to people I have what it takes to be an actual singer. Patience is all it takes.
That’s it. Anybody can become a better singer. It doesn’t matter the age and doesn’t matter the level of talent you’re at.
