The Truth About Singing - Some Singing Tips

One of my favourite singers is Irish folk singer Liam Clancy - Bob Dylan once described Clancy as the greatest living ballad singer and when you listen to the way he controls his voice you'll understand why. The late Frank Sinatra is another of my favourites - again listen to the control he has over his voice. Wouldn't we all love to sing like those two troubadours. Believe it or not though it is possible. Granted you are going to have to put some effort in, but it is possible. Today I want to share with you three killer tips that when put into practice will improve your voice by one hundred percent.

Watch a new born baby and see how it breaths; it uses its diaphragm. Unfortunately as we grown up we forget how nature taught us to breath and start to take the lazy way out i.e. breathing though our chest. By inhaling and fully filling your diaphragm and slowly exhaling as you breath out you will get a fuller and rounder tone as opposed to the harsh often broken tones that comes from singing from your throat, which is the way most people sing.

Watch any great singer and you'll notice the control they have over their breathing, and that is probably the most important aspect of learning to sing correctly - learning how to control your breathing. It often amazes me how many professional singers get away with poor breathing techniques, or how many pretty decent amateur singers have no concept of how to breath correctly. The correct way to breath (and not just while you are singing) is through your diaphragm, its home is just below the rib cage.

LEARN TO SING LIKE A BABY.

The next tip has to do with reaching those high notes. Most people when they are singing try to hit the high C try to hit it exactly, they think it is the right thing to do. It's not there is a better way and that's to aim slightly above high C. You'll find that by aiming a little bit higher you will in effect hit C spot on. Don't ask me why it seems more of a psychological trick than a physical one; but who cares it works - try it!

For the last tip I want to concentrate on your vocal chords. Try and visualize your vocal chords as you would the strings of a piano. Look inside a piano and you will see that the lower notes are longer and the strings are thicker while the opposite is true of the higher notes, they are shorter and the strings are thinner. When you are singing you've got to learn how to shorten the vocal chords when you are reaching for the higher notes, otherwise the sound will be off.
