Learn to sing software - Product review

Out of all the products on the net singorama is defiantly the most professional learn to sing software program. This package comes with 28 lessons in an audio format and includes a myriad of other software features like a computer piano, recording software, pitch training software and more.

The sheer amount of features this course packs in is quite remarkable putting it a step above any other on the market. The price is higher than some on the market but in this reviewers eyes it is worth it. They list the price as $99.95 down from $199.95 last I checked which is a fraction of the cost of a singing instructor and gives you so much more.

If you are serious about improving your singing voice and want to sounds truly professional the singorama is probably the best software program for you.

Singing is easy is an extremely inexpensive programming that still delivers a great experience and can really help to improve your singing. This program is interactive which diagrams, quizzes, audio and visual. Coving all the fundamentals of singing this downloadable software package is a great choice for absolute beginners, children or those who wish to sing socially more than professionally.

While this course can help your voice to a great degree it is not as comprehensive as singorama but for a much reduced price it delivers a lot of content that might be half the cost of a singing instructor's lesson! Once again I mention this would be great for a child looking for a starter guide to singing.

I did not know if I should include this product in my reviews as it is not specifically a singing product but what the author offers can certainly help someone who wants to make something of their singing.

The Pure Pitch Method is a way of training yourself to be able to recognize a pitch as soon as you hear it and be able to sing that pitch immediately. This is an important skill for singers to master to hit the right note every time without wavering about until they get it. It is also immensely useful if you improvise as a musician or jam with a band where you may not know exactly what is coming up next.

Half instruction guide and half aggressive motivational booklet this guide can put some people off with the authors tone but he does get results which you cannot complain about.

At nearly $100 dollars this is very expensive but if you plan to make a career out of music then the benefits you will gain from this skill is certainly worth the investment.

Vocal Release is a product that has recently come to my attention in the realms of learn to sing online programs. Eric Frey is the author of this guide and a professional singing coach who believes that the real reason singers fall short of their potential is because they force their singing rather than relaxing their bodies to sing naturally.

The entire focus of this guide is to diagnose your voice and un-train your bad habits and reform them into a better way of singing.

While seeming quite specialized this is a very important skill, however it may not be a good guide for beginners. More advanced singers and those seriously looking to make a living from their voice will get the most out of this guide.

Eric also makes about 17 guarantees on what he can do for your voice and I believe that he can do them. This guide is completely downloadable including text and sound files to help you learn what he calls "Mask attacks" as the natural way to sing.

6 Tips For A Better Singing Voice

I believe that singing is an inbuilt part of the human mind and soul. For countless years the act of singing has been at the forefront of art, religion, social changes and of course love. We all have a desire to let flow with a burst of air and noise that lifts the soul and transports an emotive message be it from the screaming energetic rock anthem to the operatic tones of more studied precise singers.

We are not all born with a natural talent though but with practice anyone can take their instinctual desire to sing and become very good at it. Here are some tips for a better singing voice that can help you professionally, at the karaoke bar or even in the shower for your own enjoyment!

1. Control breathing

One mistake many singers make is to hold their breath while singing instead of letting the air flow through them. If you hold your breath tight you can never achieve a natural sound nor will you be able to achieve any great volume and it makes hitting the right tone harder as well. To combat this you must learn diaphragmatic breathing. This means you must breathe in to the lower part of your lungs by breathing deep and not shallow. This is not the same as belly breathing but should press out on your lower ribcage as you breathe in. There are many breathing exercises you can learn to help you achieve this such as lying down and placing a hand on the upper chest and a hand on the lower chest under the ribcage. When you breathe in the hand on the upper chest should not move and the hand on the lower chest should go up and down.

2. Use a Mirror

Mirrors are wonderful devices to help you improve your singing voice. By singing in front of a mirror you can watch your posture, your facial contortions and your breathing and determine what is and is not working. Try changing your posture and the way you use your face and mouth when you sing in front of a mirror and listen to the different sounds you make as you experiment. You will be surprised what straightening your back or opening your mouth wider can do to your voice once you see these things in the mirror.

3. Develop a natural voice

When starting to sing it is easy to imitate and copy your favorite style and singer and it is not a bad way to start. To become a better singer though you need to realize you have to have your own style. Everyone is different physically and psychologically and these things mean your styles will never match anyone else's totally. Do not be afraid to sing without preconceptions, try singing to other songs outside your usual niche and try not to imitate accents and exact styles of others and let your true voice be brought forth. This may sound very strange to you to start with but when you sing naturally you can achieve notes, tones and emotions you could never do while restricted.

4.Quit...

Quit smoking, quit drinking heavily and quit yelling or talking too loudly or too frequently. This may be very hard but your voice is a delicate instrument and needs to be taken care of or it will lose its edge and falter. If you are looking for that raspy style refer to the previous point, if you don't already have it don't try please!

5. Be emotive

Music and singing is about emotions; it conveys stories, feelings, color, strength and weakness. While knowing how to read music and understanding the clinical technical aspects of any music if you are a singer or musician and you cannot let your feelings rush into your breath and spread it through your words and sound you can never be a great singer. Learn to sing to a vision or emotion, forget about the technicalities of a song as some of the greatest music comes from the raw, ragged feral yell that may destroy the technically perfect aspects of a song but inject it with so much vitality and life it transcends the mundane and buries itself within your heart and echoes through your soul. If this sounds too dramatic you may need more work on this part of your singing.

6. Practice!

There is no talent so great that did not need a massive amount of time to achieve. Without constant singing and testing your limits you may never realize your dreams of becoming a better singer. With practice comes an increase in range if you continually hunt higher or lower notes, it will ingrain good breathing into your performances and you will develop your style a lot more with confidence also. Make times to sing. Sing in the shower. Sing brushing your hair. Sing making dinner. Sing and feel the enjoyment of singing wherever you can as well as more formal sessions of practice and you will naturally evolve and don't be afraid to be heard!

I hope these tips for a better singing voice can help you develop a confident natural style you can be proud of in any endeavor you apply your skills to and never stop living with music in your heart and soul!
