DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE ABOVE ME! They're trying to tell you to learn to sing pop songs, which is horrible for your voice. If you sing this way, you'll lose your ability to sing well before you turn 25. Unless you're already there, in which case you'll lose it even faster.

Get a voice teacher who is classically trained, and get him or her to teach you the fundamentals. Then branch out into jazz, which is the best way to sing the songs that you obviously want to sing. Classical training followed by jazz training is best for your voice and technique. YOU CANNOT DO JAZZ BEFORE CLASSICAL. You'll develop an amazing range, and you'll learn vocal techniques that everyone will be asking you about.

Well the best way is to take care of your voice. Drink water ALL THE TIME. If you feel like your voice is dry or scratchy drink some hot tea with lemon and honey (or buy coat throat). As for singing warm up your voice every time you sing. Make sure to add variations to each scale that way your voice doesn't get used to the same thing.

If the song is in a high key make sure to your your head voice. Breath from right below your diaphragm area it make a huge difference and keep the sound in front and not in the back.

There's a place called the talent area and it's from your nose all the way up the the top of your head. Imagine the sound coming from there.

If a note is higher than a A Flat above middle C don't try to bealt it unless you've had proper training. You could end up losing your voice for a very long time and you don't want to do that.

If you need any more details just e-mail me.

keep th etip of your tongue on the back of your bottom teeth, practice breathing, warm up before you sing (by singing scales and arpeggios), keep you tongue down in the back, sing from your chest and not your nose. You can also take lessons.

When you want to hit a high note think low and squat down. It will be much easier and you won't strain your voice as much.

This is instruction for classical songs, not pop.Although it wokr sfor any kind of music you want to sing.

1. Breathing. To sing well you need to be able to do singer's breathing. What it is, is breathing with your entire lung, not just the top of it. One way to be aware is the lie on the ground and put a heavy book (like a dictionary) on your lower abdomen. Watch the book rise and fall as you breathe in. Breathe in for four counts, then hiss for four counts. Watch the book fall slowly. Next, sit in a chair on the front 6 inches. Bend at the waist with your head hanging loose between your knees. Breathe in four counts, hiss out four counts. You should feel your back expand as you breathe in. Lastly, while standing, squat or plie. This lowers your center of gravity making you release the lower ab and pelvic muscles, allowing expansion to fill your entire lung with air. Breathe in four counts, hold it, then hiss four counts. While you're hissing, poke your tummy, it should be hard the entire time you're exhaling.

2. Posture. Stand with feet shoulder width apart. Bend at the waist and gently let head hang. Slowly raise from waist. bring arms over your head and back. Once arms are at sides, do not let your chest collapse. This stretch should feel good, your spine, neck, and head should be aligned.

3. Warm-Ups. Vocaleases are important to stretch your cords before vigorous use. Start with humming down 5 notes, move down by half steps. Move to a "yah" with the same notes, only moving up by half steps. Then do some more that get your breath working. Make sure you are using deep breathing during warm-ups.

4. Repertoire. When choosing songs, make sure to pick songs that are in your range! Make sure you are ALWAYS deep breathing while singing and that your posture supports it. If you are having trouble using the deep breathing while singing, plie while singing. You will feel the difference.

5. Make sure your tongue is forward and flat. It should lay right behind your bottom front teeth. Your throat should not hurt and be relaxed. Gently massage your jaw and throat to promote relaxation. If your mouth/throat is in position of the beginning of a yawn, it will automatically be relaxed.

6. Drinks lots of H2O!


Good luck! I hope your Yahoo Answers voice lessons suits you well! If you need more help feel free to contact me.

invest in singing lessons. It really makes a difference. Pick songs to learn to performance level so that you have to think about breath pacing and proper articulation. Sing to something a few feet in front of you so you have to project with good breathing techniques.

i invested in a karaoke machine, and practised practised practised. you don't have to buy one, you could just go to a karaoke by yourself (one of those where you get your private booth/room).

through practice , you just get a feel of how each song should be sung.
