Answer 3

Well that is really a relative question. Some people are born to sing and it comes naturally they only need to work on technique, for example, they have to learn how to control their power or lung expansion.

Others can sing but need but need help with pitch and timing.

Some people are just not cut out to sing and all the training in the world is not going to help.

I would say if you have any talent at all it take about three to be educated in music and then you have to find your style which is not always easy. The beautiful thing about singing is the more you practice and the more you perform the better you get no matter how long you have been singing.

These days you can learn how to sing over the internet. Check out Aaron Anastasi's singing video lessons here: http://www.voicevideolessons.com The videos are very easy to follow and to my surprise extremely helpful even for advanced singers. For beginners I would have to say this is a gold mine. I was able to improve my singing, voice tone and range in just under two weeks and I am an advanced musician, been doing this for the last 13 years.

I live in New York City, I wanted to go to a singing teacher but that would have cost me over $1400 per month. Good thing with this internet, $1400 it's a lot of money for me.

Answer 5

That all depends. Whitney Houston & Christina have been singing since they were very young. I hadn't done much singing until I was 12 or 13. But the time I was 14, I could do quite a bit. I was singing 10-15 hours daily many days. Vocal lessons are a good idea. And dedication.

Answer 6

It's very possible to learn to sing well. You just need to know the right methods. Learn here https://tr.im/vSOzq

Singing teachers will cost money and can be expensive so they're not for everyone. Singing can be learned so it's not an "either you have it or you don't" kind of thing.

Whether you sound like crap or you're decent, I recommend this singing course. It's one of the best methods to learn to sing well in a short amount of time. It's all about using efficient techniques that work.

Answer 7

Some would say it's a life long pursuit or a natural talent. I however will guarentee you if you order my videocassette serie you can be singing such beautiful melodies as: Row, Row, Row Your boat. and Twinkle twinkle little star with the voice of a soncert style performer in a mere 27 hours.

Ok sorry don't really know but couldn't resist the fake spam.

Answer 8

Depends how old you are and what you range you want. For instance, opera singers are not trained in full operatics until the ripe age of at least 21. Vocal cords are not mature enough to get full range of use or to handle the pressure of that singing without damage until at least that age. Voices often are like fine wine: they age well over time when handled properly.

Some people are not born with the capability of singing well. I wish Madonna would accept that fact...

Answer 9

It depends how dedicated you are...And how much you know...
I started singing a couple years back...and I barely knew what a diaphram was...much less how to use one...Now, I can suck so much air into my diaphram that I can make myself look pregnant. xP And, I'm pretty okay as a singer...
Really, singing is a sport where you can always get better...ALWAYS, always!...Just study different singers, and take as much as you can from each of them to create your own style...(If you're a "pop" singer)...
For example, I'm into musical theatre...but I also LOVE R&B...and I started singing to R&B and Blues...and I've been told I sound "black"--in the case that I do...it's probably VERY moderate because of the type of music I've "studied"...but I can also change my inflection to sing something as high-pitched and childish as Annie...
(In a few years, I probably won't be able to do that...My chorus teacher says that my voice is unique because it still hasn't fully developed, and to keep practicing my upper range...because naturally I'm a tenor or an alto, but I can comfortably sing mezzo soprano...yet if I conform to my "natural" range...I'll probably loose a lot of my upper register as I get older.)
I think it's good to practice a lot of inflections with your voice, too...I don't know how much fact is in this...but I think it's expanded my range in a way.
And just try to mimic singers, and then later take things from them to incorporate into your own techniques...
Like, I learned vibrato from Barbra Streisand...I learned how to jump notes with Mariah Carey...My pitch got better with Lauryn Hill and Dionne Warwick.

Answer 10

it depends how much talent you have...if you work at it it doesn't take that long...and it kinda also depends on how well...if you want to be Pavarotti, it'd take like 10 years probably...but if you just want to be a dippy dork on American Idol, you can probably do that in a day.

Answer 11

3 years tops, recreationally not doing it all the time.
