Improve Your Voice, Don’t Ruin It

You want your listeners to be mesmerized by the sound of your voice. You often dream of floating up and down the scales smoothly and seamlessly. There are so many vocal styles to try out and you want to excel at all of them. Okay, now stop day dreaming and start making all your dreams a reality at least some of them. To improve the quality of your voice the first thing you need to do is to sign up for voice classes. The quality of instruction in those voice classes will make your singing stand out and separate you from the crowd.

Get Out of the Groove

Appropriate voice training enables you to think outside the box. There is far more to singing than belting or screeching or even growling. Respect your vocal limits as even a slight change in your vocal cords can render your voice unrecognizable. Add to that the fact that the long-term influence of vocal hygiene education and the effectiveness of voice training can never be overstated. Your vocal coach will check to see whether you are singing at the correct pitch and how high is the musical quality of your voice.

Don’t run away with the notion that once you’ve signed up for voice classes, you can afford to cool your heels. Singing requires dedication, time, effort, discipline, and practice. You need to have proper control over your voice and breathing. As your singing and your vocal agility improve, so will your confidence which in turn will raise your self-esteem. Everyone who is desirous of performing on a stage in front of huge screaming crowds needs an abundance of both confidence and high self-esteem.

The Don’ts of Singing Are Just as Critical

Once you have developed a strong, wonderful sounding voice with a large vocal range, and a consistent tone from your lowest note to your highest, you would naturally want to showcase your skills. Yet avoid certain things to ensure that you can keep your voice healthy and strong well into old age. Never practice or perform live or in a studio without having done appropriate warm up exercises. Singers as much as sports persons need to do warm up exercises for the same reason  avoid disasters.

Never make the mistake of drinking anything chilled or anything very hot just before or immediately after a performance, even if it is in a recording studio under controlled circumstances. Caffeinated drinks, tobacco, milk drinks and alcohol are all ruinous for your voice and have to be avoided.
