So you have decided that you would like to sing, and sound better than you do now? Well this is a great place to start to gather information on being taught how to sing. We all (or at least most of us) enjoy singing as we go about our daily tasks, or even joining in with the karaoke on a Friday night.But have you ever had the desire to learn to sing properly? Perhaps even to aim to sing in front of an audience? Going for singing lessons is great, you'll get so much more out of your voice by training it properly. One of the important things that you will learn in singing lessons by professionals such as Brett Manning, or through a learn to sing class, is proper breathe control. Without knowing this, you can't expect to get very far.
Sounds terrific, doesn't it? But, right about now, you are undoubtedly asking yourself how all this can be completed in just three months. Let me tell you about Singorama, a professional vocal learning course that is now to be had at a VERY realistic and reasonable cost, especially considering all it offers you.It makes absolutely NO difference WHY you aspire to sing well. You may merely want do it for the simple pleasure of it. Maybe you would like to get a gig with a band, enter a karaoke contest, sing in church, or even reach stardom! The principal thing, in any event, is that you discover how to sing like a pro. Even if you are already a successful performer, you'll be astonished at how much more excellent you can become with a little structured practice utilizing this professional system.
There are a lot of other learn-to-sing programs out there but they just don't compare to Singorama: This is the best of the lot, the only one you want to think about utilizing if you are serious about obtaining the results you've always wanted. Make no mistake about it, Singorama is about the highest standards of singing professionalism and yet, as valuable as it is, it has been carefully produced to be straightforward and a joy for you. Its well-written directions are extremely easy to follow. It is jam-packed with twenty-eight interactive lessons, two-fully-illustrated books which contain step-by-step directions which are reinforced by audio files. Also built-in is Singorama's "Perfect your Pitch" software as well as the "Mini Recording Studio" software.
You'll be given lots of original songs and audio exercises for you to learn with. These include solo singing, singing warm-ups, singing in harmony, singing for auditions and very much more. The included Singorama "Mini Recording Studio" software features many tools including a virtual piano for working on scales and songs. Just imagine adding a WHOLE OCTAVE to your vocal range! Imagine how others will be blown away by your pitch-perfect singing. Just imagine how much your self-confidence and stage presence will soar! You'll be singing from your heart, not your mind, and your audience will see that right away.
These vocal coaches are usually the best trained and most experienced singing teachers around. Certainly you have a better chance of connecting with a truly great voice teacher there than by pulling a number off a paper flyer. Learning to sing is expensive...prepare to pay good money for your voice lessons! Anywhere between $40 and $100 per hour, once a week is common. If you decide to go to college, I'd recommend auditioning for a vocal program at your college or university. You may have to sing classical or jazz, but it won't turn you into a classical or jazz singer, just teach you another style, great musicianship and how to use your voice.
But how does a 'non-singer learn to sing. Well it's down to three main elements: training, technique and above all else practice. Don't think for one moment that professional singers walk on stage and start singing. They don't, they've all got their favourite warm up routines, most of them will clear their throats and give it a good wash by drinking a large glass of water. Nothing more. Watch a singer on stage and see how often he takes a sip of water, water is oil for the vocal chords and when they are not on stage they practise constantly.
OK but how do I learn to sing. Well for me the key lies in breath control, if you can't control your breath then you'll not be able to sing properly. It's logical, think about it: the wind coming through your mouth is what pushes out the sound, if it is not coming at a clear consistent rate then the sound (song) will be all broken up.
As you're learning, remember the part about singing being a very technical subject because you WILL find yourself frustrated often by this challenging yet ultimately rewarding and beautiful art/skill.A step up from books about singing are all the various video courses and tutorials about singing that you can find both in stores and online. Some of these are really excellent and fairly comprehensive; others are total garbage; and others still are good but only cover specific things while leaving something else out. For instance, if one singing tutorial doesn't teach you much about breathing, then a second tutorial DOES, but neglects to discuss how to sing high notes.There's no cure-all product or solution. Singing is a huge subject with a lot to cover, so no ONE course could possibly teach you everything you need to know!
It's easy to get dogmatic about what constitutes correct singing and I definitely have some strong opinions on the topic, myself, but everybody has their own musical ambitions and who am I to impose my preferences on you? That's why I say that these learning tools are complementary pieces of your overall singing education. Just like Bruce Lee said: "Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own." If you think of singing sort of like a martial art, then that's great advice.While most of the items I talk about are online vocal training courses proper, there are a few that can be legitimately called "singing software". Some software, for example, visualizes your voice on-screen on your computer or iPhone/iPad and let you see whether or not you're singing in tune, how steady your vibrato is, and other parameters.In my opinion, these are extremely useful tools, especially for people who are visual learners, as I am, and as many singers I know are. In fact, more and more vocal coaches are using them in their studios now because actually SEEING a visual representation of your singing on screen helps you adjust what you're doing when you sing more quickly and accurately. It's immediate feedback and cuts the learning curve big time.
Even though I studied classical operatic voice in University, performed in local opera and musical theatre productions, sang in high-level choirs and taught students of all ages in my private studio, I left that profession to do internet marketing. I don't want to bore you with my personal story (that's what the about page is for ) but I have an important point to make. When you study classical singing, there's a definite RIGHT way to sing and definite WRONG way to sing.
When you're paying money, on the other hand, you get a pang when you feel like you're just throwing it away! Listen to your favorite songs and artists and try to emulate them just be careful about trying to sing songs that are way too high for you and straining your voice. Also, emulate the songs but don't emulate the singer. You have your own voice, your own style and your own interpretive abilities. Use them! Don't become a second-hand singer. Learning to sing will still present certain frustrations for you but just take your time and do what you can and slowly push yourself a little more each time.
