Learn To Sing Better With These Singing Tips

Perhaps you have been singing for some time but feel you are not getting any better.  In this article you will find singing tips that will help you to sing better than you every expected.

Tip One – Singing Lessons

Although you may already have had singing lessons, it is always good to get more help.  If it has been some time the chances are you will have starts some bad habits or stopped breathing as well as you should while singing.  If you had a teacher in the past then you may want to arrange a new lesson with them.  Even famous singers will still have singing lessons from time to time.

Singing Tip Two – Try Something New

Perhaps you have been singing one genre and nothing else.  Its time to mix it up, find all your favorite songs from school and sing them.  Determine the genre you always lean towards and choose a song from a completely different one.  This way you will have mixed it up a bit and when you sing your preferred genre it will feel fresher.

Singing Tip Three – Review Yourself

Go through the basics again, make sure your breathing is correct, your posture is right and you are hitting the right tone.  Make sure you are relaxed and flexible around the neck and face, any tension here can be damaging to your singing voice.

Singing Tip Four – Chill out!

Before you sing, be it in front of an audience or just for a practice session, make sure you warm up first with relaxation techniques.  A simple relaxation technique is the rag doll effect.  Stand up straight with your feet shoulder width apart, now bend over from the waist and go completely limp, like a rag doll.  Bobble yourself a bit and then go limp.  This is a great way to get tension out of your muscles and will really help you perform.

Singing Tip Five – Exercise

It can be easy to fall into bad habits, especially if you are performing a lot.  Anybody on tour will find it easy to do nothing in their free time, however you should try to remain fit and stay active, most hotels have gyms and if you are not in that kind of hotel then go for a walk.  There may be a snow storm outside, in which case just go for a walk around the hotel.  Try to use stairs more than elevators when you get the chance.

Singing Tip Six – Treat Yourself

It is always good to treat yourself from time to time, it can be as simply as a nice dessert or as relaxing as a massage.  You don’t need to spend a great deal, just treat yourself.

Singing Tip Seven – Jam!

It’s always nice to have a jam session with some friends.  Don’t play anything you have to play a lot, just enjoy yourself.  You can arrange for everybody to bring a part of a meal to eat, meaning you don’t have to cook!

You may have noticed something.  Not many of these tips even require you to sing.

True, but you need to look at it like this, if a guitar becomes difficult to tune you get new strings.  For a piano you will phone a professional tuner.  It is no different for you, you are a singer so your body is your instrument.  If your voice starts to go out of tune you need to carry out some repairs.

When you feel revitalized you can take on your routines with new vigor.  Pick out some new songs you enjoy and get going again.  Follow this advice and you will have your body re-tuned in no time
