If you intend to forge a career as a professional singer or are just learning to sing as a hobby, tips on how to train your voice will help you to achieve the desired voice quality. Various aspects like posture, breathing, volume and emotions etc will impact your singing performance. So here are a few guidelines to get you started.
Posture: It is important to stand when you sing. Your feet should be placed apart at shoulder width. Since locking your knees for long may cause you to faint bend your knees. Stand with your back and neck held straight. Tilting your head upwards or downwards will help you to hit the high and low notes respectively. You must be careful to not tilt your head sideways as this may cause neck pain and will make you look peculiar. Maintain a relaxed forward gaze and relax.
A good way to monitor your breathing as you practice is to place your hands on your stomach. If you are breathing properly, you should inhale silently filling your lung. It is important to breathe through the nose and not the mouth. Correct breathing will make your abdomen and diaphragm expand upwards and contract as you let the air out. When you breathe out make sure that it is done slowly and evenly so that you can conserve your breath to hit the high notes.
The right mouth shape when you are singing is round, small and circular. By opening your mouth too wide or too less you will restrict the movement of air, so you should be careful to not do so. If you want to create fuller and rounder sounds you should try to increase the size of the mouth cavity. Start by elongating your jaw slightly and resting your tongue at the bottom of your mouth will help you create better sounds. By doing so you are trying to increase the hollow cavity inside the mouth.
Every word that you sing should be enunciated and be very clear every consonant in the word should be heard. Depending on the song and the effect that you want you may even want to emphasize certain words.
It is imperative that you be able to hear yourself as you sing. There is a really possibility of singing off key if you cannot hear yourself. But be careful with the amount of air you need to sing loudly and softly, since they should ideally both require the same amount of breath. An indication of incorrect singing will be vocal strain. Diaphragmatic breathing will help you to control your volume as you sing. Using your hands forward one after another will serve a cue to increase your volume.
If you want to create the right mood for a song use your emotions and facial expressions to bring in the correct emotions in your words. For example if you wan to create a melancholic effect you will need to need somber expressions on your face.
