As a 15 year old, how do I improve my singing?

Question

What kind of exercises could i do to help me sing better?

Answer 1

There's always trying to hit the notes on the piano, taking singing lessons, singing along to music that you like (preferably your range)...

Don't eat chocolate because you develop a mucus around your throat and it makes hard to sing. It damages your vocal chords. Don't practice in cold environments because it damages vocal chords. Aretha Franklin once postponed a show for a few hours because the stage was air-conditioned and she knew it would damage her chords. Celine Dion did not allow air-conditioners while she performed in Las Vegas for fear of damage to her voal chords. Drink lukewarm water a lot.

...That's all I got. Sounds weird to not have air conditioning while performing in Las Vegas, but from personal experience, when singing in warm environments, you hit notes with much more ease compared to a cooler environment.

...10 points please? :)

Answer 2

If you love to sing, then sing.
I'd suggest that you join your school choir and a local church that has a good group. What you really need is practice, practice, practice. I learn a lot from my school choir, and I love singing in my church Christmas programs that were so challenging.


I found these tips at the first website.
All of us have to sing at some point, even if it's just a simple 'Happy Birthday'. use these simple tips and techniques to improve your voice and your confidence.

1. Keep your arms slightly away from your body. Clasp your hands out in front of you or bring your arms to your sides and a bit forward, raising them about 6 inches in a flexible, relaxed fashion. This will allow your ribcage to fully expand and your lungs to fill to capacity. More air allows you to project your voice more strongly and clearly.

2. Keep your feet about shoulders' width apart. If you like, one foot can be further forward than the other. Make sure you're solidly balanced, but still flexible. Slightly bend your knees. If you must sing while sitting, make sure both feet are flat on the floor and that you're sitting up straight, but not stiffly.

3. Relax! Tension destroys vocal tone. Try not to let your shoulders hunch up and keep your neck from tensing. Don't force your chest out and up when you breath in. This will actually constrict your air flow. Stay in motion, however slightly. This will relax your body and your tone will sound more natural. Try gently swaying from side to side with the rhythm. You'll look better, too!


4. When you inhale, push your stomach out. This will allow you to more completely fill your lungs. As you exhale, bring your stomach slowly in, using the muscles of your diaphram (which is just under your ribcage) to control your notes.

5. If you have to hit a high note or you hear yourself singing flat (that is, your notes are a tiny bit too low), raise your arms a little higher and smile slightly. For very high notes, try closing your eyes and turning your face up slightly.

6. Conversely, if you start to sing sharp (a tiny bit too high), bring your arms down a little lower and open your mouth slightly wider by dropping your lower jaw. Don't dip your chin towards your neck, however, as this will cause your air flow to become constricted, which will show up in your voice.

7. Enjoy yourself! If you take all these tips to heart, singing could become a habit. :)
