Some Super Tips For Learning to Sing
http://www.abcwritersnetwork.co.uk
Have you ever been called upon to sing, perhaps at a party, a wedding or some other formal occasion. Maybe you've been asked to sing in the church choir. But you can't 'you haven't a singing voice,' you explain in an embarrassed fashion. Well together we can put a stop to that. In this article I am going to share some super tips for learning to sing. Read the article carefully and your voice should improve by leaps and bounds.
My mother use to tell me to stop muttering, to open my voice and speak out. Therein lies one of the biggest mistakes people make, I can sum it up in seven words: 'they don't open their mouths wide enough.'
Stop for a moment and think about it. If you don't open your mouth, if you keep your lips together then where can the sound get out? Next time you see the likes of Dame Kiri Te Kanawa or Luciano Pavarotti just watch how wide they open their mouths. OK maybe you don't want to open your mouth as big as theirs but you do need to open it up a lot. There is no call to be self conscious about looking silly if people enjoy your singing.
The second problem most non professional singers have is with timing and you really should have no difficulty following this one. It's quite simple - tap your foot in time with the music, it will help you keep the beat and the next time you are at a concert watch and see how many professionals use this technique. One final though on timing, and it is another mistake a lot of non professionals make follow your accompanist, it's not a race, don't rush them.
Finally, and it was an old priest friend taught me this when we were at a wedding together, not every song in the world is going to be right for you. Find the songs that are right for you. Put it this way you are not going to find Judy Collins trying to cut a disk like 'Born To Run.' How do you find the songs that fit you - easy, try singing it. If you try singing it and it doesn't sound right then ninety-nine times out of a hundred it's not the song for you.
We've looked at some super tips for learning to sing but it's impossible to go over them all in a short article like this. However, in my signature I do recommend a resource about learning how to sing I've reviewed it and it is one, I think, you will find quite rewarding.
One of the big buzzes I get from life is standing up at a party or other social event and sharing my voice with others - and believe me when I tell you there is nothing special about my voice, I've just learned how to use it and I believe you can do the same.

I can't sing anote while my dad had his own Radio show and was quite a croner in his day. I can only remeber my 8th grade teacher telling me to lip it while all the rest sang. Yet, good advice for those with talent.Respond to this comment
