How To Sing Better! 4 Critical Factors

I'm not going to get overly specific and tell you to keep your arms a little bit away from your body, or to raise them about six inches in a relaxed, flexible fashion because that is waaaaaay too much to think about.

Nobody thinks about those things before they sing.
I know I don't.

BUT what I WILL say is that your posture DOES matter, and will help you to sing better instantly, so you'll want to be at least a little bit conscious of it. If your standing (which is more likely than not), make sure you're standing up straight, but not so straight that you look stiff as a board and unnatural.

YES! Absolutely!

Always find a way to warm up. If you were a pitcher on a baseball team you would never ever think of walking out on the mound and throwing your first pitch to a live batter. And even if you WERE beginning to warm up, you wouldn't throw the first pitch full speed. That is if you had any sense.

Just as a pitcher needs to acclimate his arm muscles gradually to the stress that he is about to place on it, so too do singers need to acclimate their singing equipment for what's to come.

I try to warm up in my car if I know I am going somewhere to sing. Of course, I shut up if I think someone may be watching. lol

If that is not a feasible option for you try to find a place where you can be alone if only for few minutes. Every little bit helps.

One of the other keys to singing well is knowing how to use your breath. It's important to make sure that you have enough breath to last throughout a long phrase or until you'll have a chance to inhale again.

This may require singing a song all the way through many times. As you get more familiar with a song you can make the adjustments necessary to sing the song successfully without running out of air too soon.

Here's a tip you may not have thought about before. Music is a way of expressing emotion. If you are a true music lover (and I don't think you'd be reading this if you weren't), I'm sure you have heard songs with lyrics that said something that you related to.

Now think about the artist and ask yourself if you could "feel" the emotion that was projected.

If it was a love song, did you feel the love communicated? If it was an upbeat feel good song, did you feel THAT emotion communicated? If it was a sad song, did you feel it tug at your heart strings? Chances are you did.

So when YOU are singing, consider the words you are singing and let yourself "feel" the same emotion as if YOU were the person who wrote the song.

If you do, you will communicate that emotion to YOUR listeners and you will sing better!
