How to Be a Good Singer (All Talent Aside)

By Sasha Carraway


Want to ensure that you never give the on stage singing performance of your dreams? Just report to yourself that you'd best not use up any precious time learning how to be a good singer, since you flat out don't have a good voice. This sort of justification is what typically prevents singers with uncanny singing talents from ever singing outside of their front door. There are thousands of cases, on the other hand, of vocalists with significantly below average inborn singing skill who've gone on to perform in front of hundreds of thousands of fans.

The instant you make the resolution that you're going to sing wonderfully no matter what anyone says (seeing as you can do anything at all that any one other person can do), is the instant you'll start yourself on the path to conquering your obstacles of confidence and technical skill. This mindset is the first and most crucial step to learning how to be a good singer.

Perfect Your Posture

One of the most typical areas where an average singer is dwarfed by a great one is posture. If you're thinking that posture is a minuscule singing aspect, consider that the right posture is vital if you're going to breath in a way that's inclined toward accurate and forceful vocal performance. Simply bringing your shoulders back, as an example, enables you to instantly enhance your vocal range.

Realize the Power of Optimal Rehearsal

While it may sound too simple to be true, improving your singing on a daily basis can be as straightforward as singing scales. It's also incredibly helpful to sing songs which make use of those scales and then improvising over a chord structure.

To get the most benefit from your efforts to improve your singing voice and your command of it, practice for about 30 minutes every day (unless of course your voice needs rest). If you're not ready to make that significant of a commitment to learning how to be a good singer, then simply pick certain days each week when you can happily commit to practicing and follow-through each and every week.

Be careful not to fall into the all too common failure snare that is confusing work with success when you practice. You don't just want to form and strengthen singing habits with each training session - you want to create and reinforce propel singing habits. Having said that, always ensure that you find the perfect pitch when training. You can use a piano that's tuned to concert pitch, a specialized gadget like pitch pipes or a tuning fork, or even an instrumental recording to accomplish this.

Outstanding Singers are Always Good Breathers

A common misjudgment amongst vocalists who aren't able to shake mediocrity, is that you only need to control the rhythm of your breathing to sing effectively. The fact is that you actually need to acquire strong regulation over every single one of the muscles in your respiratory system if you're going to actually learn how to be a good singer.

Here are some tips to help you with this: recite scales that are commonly used in your musical style of choice and do scale warm ups, receive oxygen treatments, and do subaqueous breathing exercises. You're power over your respiratory system also depends on the health of it, so be wise about the air you breathe, as well as the food and drink you take in.

Developing Improved Comprehension and Expertise

To learn how to be a good singer, it's essential that you learn how to sing the three basic scale groups (major, minor and dominant seventh).

Do this and your next test is familiarizing yourself with chord theory (which chords line up with which keys) and mode theory (the patterns which make it possible for scales to be adapted to keys). Once you've achieved this, you'll be all set to use chord theory and the basic scales at the same time, and improvise over those chords, while singing songs of all kinds.

If you can handle this you'll be beginning to get pretty excited about the latent singing capacity that is unveiling itself to you while you sing songs in a variety of styles without straying from pitch, rhythm or notes.

Determine to Discover How to Be a Good Singer and...Just Do it!

While there may be less difficult things to master in life than how to be a good singer particularly if you don't have a vast amount of so-called "god given talent" to push you through the training process, take into consideration that the more below par (or just plain dreadful) your singing voice is now, the more satisfaction is in store for you if you just do the right things regularly, for long enough. The key to having success isn't being flawless or knowing everything, it's acknowledging that every last star singer began from exactly the same place you're at and simply taking the next step ahead of you. With each step you take, you'll be one step closer to getting hold of your true singing potential.
