What is the best way to develop a strong singing voice?

Answer 1

Try singing lessons. Some can be as cheap as $15 for 1/2, once a week. I was taught in voice lessons to use my stomach muscles and don't use my throat.
When you are needing to sing higher, suck in your stomach. When you are on key, and practicing to piano, you'll notice a sensation in your front teeth.
It takes practice and time to cover more range, but the average person can only do one octave or less.
Also, and no offense to anyone, if you are smoking, you might want to consider quitting, as I know a couple people who admitted to me that smoking destroyed what ability they use to have. They used to have more range and do higher notes, but smoking harmed it.
You are also taught certain breathing techniques. You are taught how and when it's ok to breath, but you must breath on musical rest notes.
But it's also important to take your time to reach higher notes and lower notes you can do now. Forcing your voice what it can't do can permanently damage your vocal chords. I was told this as I was trying to force my voice to go to the highest end of the piano, and lower, like tenor low, and my voice coach gently warned me to take my time, and don't force it like that, or I can damage my chords. But in time, I was able to do more without straining myself. Also, don't practice when you have laryngitis, as I went to practice one day and my coach sent me home. But with laryngitis, I was able to do Barry White notes, and I'm a female! LOL!

You can use karaoke for practice. If you haven't yet, check out to see which bars have them! Don't worry if you don't drink; you can get served straight soda or juice, as I don't really drink myself. Also, check out your local junior college to see if you can sign up for their vocal group. I did a couple times before. But if you that, make sure you can keep up with the comittments. Even if you join just for fun, the professor of the class will be just as strict about the class attendance as if you were there doing it for education.
Also, practice with other people to practice harmonizing.

Good luck! Singing is SOOOOO much fun!

Answer 2

Learn to utilize breath support. It is the key to being able to hold a note longer or sing a phrase without running out of breath. When you sleep, you breath the correct way. If you have ever noticed, it is your tummy that expands and contracts while you sleep, not your lungs. This is the beginning of understanding breath support. Here are a couple articles to help you understand this better.

Once you have the breath support thing down you'll be amazed at how long you can hold a note and how loud or soft you can sing without running out of breath. Practicing scales can help as well but there's one tiny hitch. I had a choir director in high school who used to say, "Practice does not make perfect. You can practice something 100 times and it can still be wrong- therefore- perfect practice makes perfect." Using breath support while singing scales is the ideal way to practice and you'll find you can sing any kind of music style you wish.
Good luck and have a great day. If you need any further help feel free to contact me. I do what I can.

Answer 3

Take lessons. Breath control and projection are very hard to develop, if you don't have a natural bellowing voice, but it can be done. Practice a LOT and learn all you can about singing. Get a coach! Also, excercise can help. Don't smoke ever.

Answer 4

practice the scales for a half hour every day. choice the style you want and pratice that alot too. to make your voice more loud, focus on an object on the other side of a large room as if your singing to it.

also many professional singers dont eat dairy beacuse it produces mucas wich messy up voicals.

Answer 5

That very strongly depends on the type of music you plan on singing. Of Course the obvious answer id practice, but I suggest that you find a private instructor that can train you in whatever style you wish to sing in.
