How do you sing with more power and volume?

Question

Just curious on how to sing with more volume and power...not really sure how that concept works. Anyone got any tips?

Answer 1

its very simple. breathing
most people make the simple mistake of making their stomach go in when breathing in, but it should actually go OUT when you breath in.

The larynx (also known as "adams apple") moves when you go towards the higher or lower part of ur range, in order to give more space for your vocal chords to ring out. when you breath the "wrong" way, it constricts your larynx, giving it less room to move.

Naturally, just by changing the way you breath, it lets you hold your notes longer, and without too much shakiness, or vibrato. It can also change the entire tone of your voice, and make it much stronger.

Answer 3

It's very possible to learn to sing well. You just need to know the right methods. Learn here https://biturl.im/aU1AI

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 4

It's quite simple really. First of all you need to have support in your diaphragm. When you take a breath, your diaphragm should expand. You need to punch with your stomach muscles to really get the power. Also, you need to open your throat. If you have difficulty with this, try yawning and singing through it for a while. It really works trust me. You need to drop your jaw also. Try singing with your mouth half closed and then compare the sound when your jaw is dropped. It makes a big difference in volume.

Answer 5

Take a rubber band and stretch it as you go up and down the scale. I have voice problems sometimes too, this helps me. Also, there is an exercise were you say, "Zigga Momma x4, Zing x3" very fast. If you can picture a horseshoe, as you sing, when you're getting to your hard point, go as high/low as you can without breaking, and wind back around. So it comes out as a smooth, almost echo-like sound.

Answer 6

It's all in your breathing. You will need some lessons or coaching on how to support your mid-range voice. The same approach would lfollow for acting. When i was a "contender" the director used to sit in the back bakc back row and say I have to be able to hear you loud and clear from here.You also have to elongate your vowels, so you do not speak or sing with the same diction that you do in ordinary dayto day life. You end the words on consonants and say the words on the vowels. FOr example. Hegs- AAAAmp- aaaaaaaahhhhl.
Comprende?

Answer 7

dont worry i had the same problem when i started.
first of all, breathing is the most important thing. make sure you`re breathing from your stomach and not your chest
to practice this, you might want to pant (like a dog) and put your hand on your stomach to see how it moves. another idea would be to lay down on the floor and breathe and also put your hand on your stomach to check its movement. especially when you are singing high notes, you need to support it with the correct breath and you need to practice holding it and not letting it all go on the first note.
practice when you are alone at home, it will make your voice stronger when you practice professionaly making it stronger (:

Answer 8

These answerers are absolutely correct but here's a tip for actually feeling whether you're breathing from your belly, ie., your diaphragm: Lay on the floor and put your hand on your stomach just below your ribs. This is where your diaphragm is (not the birth control device but the muscle that stretches across the inside of your body, separating your heart and lungs from digestive organs.)
Relax your chest and shoulders and breathe. If your hand is not rising and falling, focus on breathing from your gut until it does. If you have trouble doing this, focus on your ribs instead; put your hand across your collar bone and keep that area still while you breathe. With your ribs and shoulders still you will naturally have to shift to belly breathing.
Many of us are shallow breathers. Breathing by raising your ribs and shoulders keeps you alive but gives little power to your singing voice. Practice this belly breathing until it becomes second nature. The "push" that they are talking about for singing then becomes easy to do. It's a forceful whuff of the air created by contracting your belly. You'll need to control the air flow, but do it from your belly not your throat.

One caution, if you're used to singing from your chest, you will likely need to re-learn how to sing from your belly. Everything changes and it will feel a bit out of control. The tendency will be to contract your throat in order to control the greater air volume you're creating. Don't! Focus on keeping your chest, neck and throat relaxed! Practice just creating loud tones. Do it in the car, someplace you arent afraid people will hear you. Just let your voice ring out without trying to direct the sound, you'll soon get used to it.

My other tip, one that's not mentioned here, is allow the sound to resonate in your head. When you are doing this, its a subtle feeling almost like you're vibrating your sinuses! You'll also feel it in your uvula, that little hangy down thingy at the back of your throat. This technique is a key to producing a good tonal quality as well as volume.
My choir teacher used to pulse her open hand in front of her face and flare her nostrils to get us to think about letting that sound ring up into our heads. Think of your whole head, not just your mouth, as your sound chamber. In order to get that feeling, you really need to push alot of air up from your belly and push it up through a relaxed throat all the way up into the back of your mouth and upwards.

Ok, good luck!!
