Learn To Sing Like A Pro

By Wayne D. Richardson


Learning to sing is less of a destination and more of a journey.If you plan to sing professionally and make a career out of entertaining with your voice, you'll probably spend a lot more time, money and energy on learning to sing than a hobbyist. I'm going to address both of you - the singer who wants to sing professionally and the singer who just wants to get good as a hobby.
[How To Sing]


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 also probably be surprised to know that some of your favorite singers took or currently take voice lessons. Brandon Boyd of Incubus comes to mind as an incredibly powerful singer who was good before he took lessons but now he's just incredibly solid, in tune and relaxed and guess what...his sound is still the same! If you're still in high school, join the choir or the band. Playing an instrument always helps your singing because it improves your ear and general musicianship. But who do you go to for voice lessons? You'll find the most competent vocal coach at a university or college that has a music program.

You love singing along with your favorite singers and bands, but sometimes you find yourself straining to hit a high note or singing out of tune and think "whoa" that sounded like crap!" You chuckle at yourself for a minute but then realize that you actually genuinely love to sing and you'd like to learn to do it better.Usually, what you'd do is go find yourself a singing teacher and take a few voice lessons. The problem is, that vocal coaching is really expensive (Like $40+ an hour). Plus, it can be hard to find quality instruction from a competent teacher, which is a big deal because bad vocal habits get engrained in muscle memory and are very hard to unlearn.

Record yourself as much as possible and get as many expert opinions as you can. Network a lot and connect with other musicians. Challenge yourself daily. Be cordial with others because this very much a business about who you know, and there's no reason to piss anybody off when they can make or break your career or at the very least hurt your reputation.

Gig as much as possible while learning to sing. They'll never be a perfect moment when you're perfectly ready to deliver the perfect performance. This is real life. Your voice is going to feel great one day, crappy another day and everywhere in between. Welcome to the emotional rollercoaster, that's what it is. Make your own opportunities and capitalize on those presented to you. Ask your teachers for help. They have connections, experience and want to see you succeed.

To understand how we all should be breathing observe a baby in its cot. Notice the way its belly swells up with each breath it takes? That's because it is using its diaphragm. Now no one taught it to breathe that way except nature and I do think, in cases like this nature knows best. As we get older we get lazy and take shot breaths through our chests. In order to sing properly you've got to go back to been a child and re-learn how to use your diaphragm.The first thing you need to do then is discover how much control, or the lack of it, you have over your breath.

To get a physical feel for what your breathing is really like try this. Place your left hand over your stomach, with your thumb on your belly button, place your right hand on top. Now take a deep breath in through your nose and let your hand feel the expansion in your stomach as your belly fills up with fresh oxygen.Now try and hold it there and count to five, it's difficult I know, especially if this is your first time. OK it is time to exhale on a slow count to five release your breath mellow and slow, conserving every last bit of it. Was it difficult?

That's only if you want to do it professionally. But if you just love singing and want to be a better singer, learning singing is going to be a lot less time consuming for you. Of course, I still recommend that you take voice lessons once a week or so because it'll hold you accountable and keep you on track and progressing, whereas if you were left to your own devices you'd probably let your singing stagnate.

One final word of advice as regards breathing properly while singing, When singing proper breathing needs to become second nature to you, you've got to learn to do it without thinking. Get a good technique, learn how to breath properly and you'll be amazed at just what difference it makes to your singing.We've looked at how important breathing is if you want to learn to sing but it's impossible to go much further in an article like this.
