A lot of people seem to think that the only way to learn how to sing is by hiring a local vocal coach for a series of private singing lessons. Of course going this route is extremely expensive as you have to pay for each and every singing lesson and that adds up very fast. But expense isn't the only reason not to choose private lessons.In my experience there can be quite an issue with getting the right support and understanding from a local vocal coach. I actually had an experience where the person I hired didn't think I should be a singer because they said I just didn't have the voice for it. They even told me to "get another hobby." Because of that experience I waited another 7 years before I tried to learn how to sing again.
This article is not intended to describe the idea of producing different tones but rather to help you to use karaoke backing tracks as a tool and will focus on that aspect.Backing tracks offer a very specific advantage that scale training does not offer. Using tracks you sing an actual song and not just a bunch of different notes. Don't get me wrong, singing scales are great way to warm up and help increase you range but to be honest I've always found that when it come's to singing a real song, there's always something different about hitting the high notes than there is doing scale training.
It's fairly obvious that songs in general don't always follow specific note patterns that are found on scale training guides and therefore you need to use your muscles differently. For example you may be required to hit a fairly high note from a very low note and then go back down in a song where the scales tend to be more chromatic, which is to say they often go up and down in a "doh, ray, mee " fashion that is quite predictable. You basically use your throat muscles differently for each song, so you're really as far ahead to sing songs rather than scales in a sense.
The next thing to look for will be the specific features of the product which will usually be mentioned on the website. You will also find information on what can be achieved through the use of the software. Some of the more expensive products will include microphones and other features which can be used for recording your performance. While other products, usually ones which have a membership program will also offer access to singing related forums.Many software programs will also allow you to monitor whether your voice is in tune with the music. Some may also incorporate a feature where the software has a user interface which displays the pitch, tone and tune of the singer's voice and these aspects are analyzed to give an automatic feedback. It is also possible for the singer to watch his/her progress because the music and the voice are displayed on screen so when a mistake is made the singer can stop and correct him/herself.
Sing along to your tracks and get a feel for where the changes are and learn to anticipate them. You won't have to go through a song like this too many times before you realize that you are getting to know how the song really goes. Finally, record yourself singing the song and then compare it to the original to critique it a little bit at a time. Did you go high or low enough on the last phrase? Did you hold the note long enough? Too long maybe? Are you able to hit the highest or lowest notes? You can cheat a little by singing an octave higher or lower on that particular note or phrase.
By honestly listening and comparing you will begin to see that you really do have what it takes to sing and that singing was never the problem, how you listen is the key. Using backing track ensures that your musical accompaniment is perfect letting you know that if there are any problems with the sound, the problem is with your voice and can be fixed by comparing to the original.
We make the same sounds on a daily basis: "Hi Bob!" (someone shouting across the park);"Ouch!" (an unfortunate Bandaid incident); "Mom!?" (a child yelling through the house). All of these every day noises are applicable to singing. All of the muscles we use on a daily basis are applicable to singing: laughing muscles, shouting muscles, breathing the air in and out through your lungs, our jaw and mouth muscles. They all are there and ready to go! All one has to do is think of extending the tone. Take a big breath and say, "Baaaaaaahb" (Bob, extended) and move your tone of voice up and down as if in a question--then in a statement--then an admonition.
Understand the Song.It is important to focus on the meaning of the lyrics as well as the overall tone it is trying to present. Learning a song means understanding the message and the different emotions that should be presented. You also want to examine the movement and flow of the song as well and learn how to express the proper emotion in your performance.
Babies are wonderful singers! They have an incredible range of tone. Next time you are with a friend with a baby or if you have your very own, listen to all of the amazing singing noises they can make. We don't really change much as adults, we just forget that we still have all of the tools available to us-every day!
Also pay attention to your own voice when you are in natural situations. You will find that you can make more singing sounds than you thought. Every single inflection of every day speech can be utilized, sustained, and made into beautiful song. All you have to do is know that you have all of your tools already.To sing is as ancient as our language and our ability to speak. We have been singing our stories for tens of thousands of years, and no one should be told not to.It is part of the soul, part of the language of the universe. Whether it be in a shower, on a mountaintop, in the privacy of your sacred garden, with a collection of like-minded singers, in your church, in your school, out at sea at night sailing under the stars, or anywhere you can imagine...just sing and all of the ether will vibrate with you.
