How to learn to sing well. How to learn to sing beautifully at home

Before learning to sing, you need to decide what it is for. Because singing in different styles differs about the same as driving a truck from racing a go-kart. By and large, there are two main schools: Old Italian and Western. Italian is a classical vocal, it is almost impossible to learn it on your own at a good level.

In addition, classical music is highly specialized: you can only sing what is intended for your range (tenor, baritone or bass). You cannot change the tonality of a work or even the strength of sound - the way Tchaikovsky or Wagner wrote it is the way they wrote it. Western is more about pop and rock, which means it’s suitable for karaoke or a rock star career, if that’s what you’re up to.

Learning folk vocals on your own will almost certainly ruin your voice: there is a more active and sharp beginning of the sound, which means the load on the ligaments is very high.

Physical training


Swim. First of all, it's just useful. Secondly, you can hum something while swimming and then be surprised to find out that you did one of the best vocal exercises. When swimming, the abs and diaphragm are tensed, and these are exactly the parts of the body that should be stressed when singing correctly. Therefore, swimming with song reinforces the correct intercostal-diaphragmatic type of breathing.

Lean over. When bending, take a deep and quick breath through your nose, and when straightening, exhale slowly. This will teach you the correct breathing rate while singing.

Hug yourself. Place your arms, bent at the elbows, in front of your chest, parallel to the floor. Now hug yourself sharply while simultaneously inhaling sharply. This exercise develops the lower part of the lungs, which singers desperately need in their work.

Snort like a horse. Or like a jockey when he says “trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”. That is, forcefully release the air from your mouth so that your lips slap funny and quickly against each other. With this sound, the ligaments close correctly. This exercise, invented by the famous teacher Seth Riggs, who has taught all the greats, from Michael Jackson to Hvorostovsky, helps develop range. If, for example, some note is not given, you must first sing it with such a snort, and then try to play it as usual.

Moo. When you wake up in the morning, hum some tune. Firstly, your friend will consider you eccentric and creative, which has never bothered anyone. Secondly, this is how you train your vocal cords and learn to feel your voice better, and therefore use it.

Education


Relax. Before a vocal lesson, do some stretching, stretch the back of your neck, shake your arms and legs. Singing is physical work, and if the body is tense somewhere, especially the neck, then at high notes there is immediately a tightening in the throat. If you watch the performances of artists, you will notice that they often hit a high note along with some kind of action - for example, throwing a hat to the side or clapping their hands. This is because the short, sharp action is immediately followed by relaxation and muscle tension is released.

Improve your hearing. Even if Shufutinsky stepped on your ear, your ear for music can be developed to an acceptable level. Get yourself a piano or at least a simple keyboard synthesizer. You take a note and try to get in unison with it. Then another. If you can’t hear well, whether you hit it or not, record yourself on a voice recorder and correct it.

Sing yourself. This is necessary to prepare the ligaments for work. You can sing by “horsing out” a simple melody or doing the exercise described above to develop your hearing. You can hum the notes starting from the lowest you can play and up to the highest. Or, in the same way, from the bottom to the top note, sing “ma-me-mi-mo-mu” and then from top to bottom “mi-me-ma-mo-mu”. At the same time, you will practice your diction.

Choose a sample. You need some fairly simple songs, preferably in English. For example, Bryan Adams, Limp Bizkit, Metallica are suitable. In English - not out of snobbery, but because Western singers usually have a more correct sound production technique. Then you learn the text and start singing along with the plus, that is, together with the performer. Your task is not to sing perfectly, but to feel how you sound and copy the intonations. Bands with a harsh sound, such as Korn, should not be taken at this stage to avoid ligament injuries. Matthew Bellamy also needs to grow up.

Stick to your gender. Boys should imitate boys, girls should imitate girls. And there is no intolerance here. It’s just that if an experienced singer understands that Rihanna needs to sing like Phil Collins, and Seal sounds like Sade, then a novice singer will easily be thrown off by gender incongruity. When you learn, then you can sing anything. Well, except for Zemfira, whose songs are all from the first, female, person.

Improvise to a backing track. Having learned to more or less copy the singer, start a backing track - a recording of a song without vocals - and sing along to it. Again, the task is not to sing perfectly, but to develop skills and musical thinking. To do this, improvise, add your own, mutter recitative, insert additional musical phrases - the main thing is to be in tune. And record it on a tape recorder: a singing person often does not hear himself correctly.

Choose a key. Your key is the range in which you are comfortable singing. If the song doesn’t suit you in key, take the backing track to a recording studio, where they will rewrite it in the right key for you for one hundred and fifty rubles. Or go to xminus.me - there you can remove the voice from the song to make a backing track, and change the key.

Beginning vocalists are concerned with the question - how to learn to sing beautifully? And today I present to you a checklist - quick tips that will help you understand why other vocalists sing beautifully, but I still can’t?

1 Regularity of classes– the most important aspect. Classes should not be occasional. It's better if you work on your voice every day. And forget the question - how to quickly learn to sing beautifully from scratch in one day, especially if you have no voice at all. There are no fairy tales in real life. Vocal practice is serious work. Of course, there are people with very beautiful timbres by nature, but no one has canceled the concept of “school”. There are certain singing rules that a vocalist needs to know. But in addition to knowledge, you also need to be able to apply these skills in practice.
Imagine an athlete asking how many days he needs to train to get in shape. The answer is every day, and so on throughout your life to maintain and improve your shape.
Remember, there is no limit to improvement!

2 Lessons with a teacher– the key to greater success in vocal training than independent practice. Even if you think that there is no decent teacher in the entire district, this is not true. It is not necessary to acquire initial skills from a famous opera diva. Often they are not interested in such classes - teaching the basics of vocals, they have other tasks - to give joy to listeners with their talent, and if they teach, then there should be students at a higher level of skill.

3 — Once, as part of a pedagogical workshop, I gave a master class at the conservatory, which was attended by vocal teachers from music schools in the region and graduate students with their teachers. The topic is the preparation of a vocalist-student of a music school for a competition. I taught a lesson with my promising student.

In addition to the fact that the girl had good vocal abilities, artistry, efficiency, and victories at International competitions, her parents could afford to spend on recording expensive phonograms, sewing stage costumes, and traveling to expensive competitions. After the lesson, I invited the teacher and graduates of the conservatory to work with the child, especially since a high payment for the lessons was guaranteed.

To which they unanimously stated that this is very responsible, and it is necessary to know how and what to teach a child, but they have completely different tasks. This was the answer of real professionals - Everyone must do their job!

If you decide to learn to sing on your own at home because there is no way to study with a teacher, then find vocal training and courses on the Internet and work on developing your voice. In this case, passion and determination will help you.

5 — For some reason, beginning vocalists are worried about the question of how to sing high notes, but not just high notes, but very high ones. Don't forget that every voice has a distance from the lowest to the highest sound that a singer can sing. And there is the concept of working range - sounds that are convenient for the performer, which sound without tension, smoothly, in a single position and dynamics. The volume of this range is always less than the volume of the range included in the chant.

When working on exercises, small melodic phrases are used, and the vocalist gradually approaches extreme (both high and low) sounds in semitones. And therefore he can sing these sounds easier and more freely.

Summary of the fifth point - sing songs that are within your range. Now on the Internet you can transpose phonograms, that is, transfer a melody from one key to another. You just need to choose a tonality that is convenient for your voice, that is, a pitch. It's not that difficult to do, just a few skills are required.

6 — I would really like to advise beginning vocalists: don’t chase singing songs in foreign languages. The singer must first understand the meaning of the work himself, and then also convey his emotions to the listeners. And what emotions can there be if the performer does not know the language in which he sings the song, did not bother to make (or find) a translation, pronunciation - what I hear is what I sing. The picture is sad!

7 Singing aspiring vocalist songs from videos, on which a whole team of craftsmen worked.
In this video, both the production and the storyline, many characters are involved. And so, let’s say, a music school student decides to perform such a song at a concert. Whose performance do you think will be better? Yes, the student will not be seen in the best light. And what will he do during the long passages that occur in the videos, because there is action, some kind of video sequence?
To prevent this from happening, you need to have musical taste and general culture. And here the teacher comes to the fore, whose task is not only to teach singing, but also to instill a sense of proportion. And in this case, convince people not to sing such songs at the initial stage.
Select works carefully

8 — The repertoire must be within the capabilities of the performer, remember about the principle of consistency- from simple songs to complex ones

9 - More sing in your native language, because vocal art is a synthesis of music and words, it will be easier for you to convey the content of the work. Pay attention to pronunciation; if you perform in a foreign language, be sure to translate the text to know the content and meaning

10 Melodic works at the initial stage it is easier to perform in terms of accuracy of intonation, but to sing fast songs you need a performance technique that still needs to be developed

11 — Mandatory: convey the content in your own words, imagine a picture - a scenario - what you see in detail when you sing each sentence

12 Decide on the nature of the song, emotionally - through what facial expressions and movements you will convey your emotions.
But remember that emotions should not overwhelm the performer’s mind, analyze your singing during a performance, think ahead about completing each specific task - whether performing a high sound, or an upcoming jump, do not forget about phrasing and breathing

13 Listen works performed professionals. But it’s important not only to listen, but also to hear: analyze how they sing, how they pronounce the text, how they breathe while singing, how they move around the stage

14 - Constantly practice vocal technique– breathing exercises, work on diction and articulation, sing every day, for this it is better to choose one single set of vocal exercises for a certain period of time, for example, a semester. Remember: in any business, a system and systematic exercises are better than even the best improvisation.

15 – If you decide to learn to sing on your own, and there is no one to control the sound of your voice, apply at work technical means– record your performance to get used to the difference in the perception of how you hear yourself and how you hear your voice in the recording, analyze what you hear

16 – When working on a vocal piece, use not only the phonogram, but also play the melody on any instrument to develop accurate intonation and for better memorization of the melody

17 – Make it a rule: so that your performance is conscious, and so that you have the necessary information and can freely operate with vocal terminology

Apply these rules in practice to learn how to sing not only beautifully, but also professionally.

Good luck with your studies!

Sincerely, Irina Anishchenko

At an early age, before we have yet learned to speak, we already absorb the surrounding melodies and try to repeat them. In most cases, we don’t even remember our small steps into the world of singing. Kindergarten helps us maximize our singing talent and many others. But if you once become the subject of ridicule from classmates or, even worse, teachers, there is a risk of being squeezed and mistakenly convinced for the rest of your life that a bear has stepped on your ear and that you have no voice.


Often, shame or memories of humiliating teachers do not allow you to simply go to vocal lessons. Is it possible to learn to sing on your own? Certainly! Even a talented person needs constant exercise so that all his abilities do not fade away. It is impossible to spend all the time at rehearsals, so many professionals sing at home. If your dream is to sing, be prepared for difficulties and start training your vocal skills. Let's defeat the bear together?

Improving musical ear

Don't listen to people who say you don't have an ear for music. It is given to everyone from birth, but is often in a state of “infancy”. Therefore, it needs to be developed. And how can you learn to sing on your own without developed hearing? Only with his participation is it possible to hit the right notes. Spend time daily on the following exercises:

  • Singing in unison. Constantly practicing singing at the same pitch as a musical instrument will memorize the sound of each note. But how can you learn to sing on your own at home if you don’t have a musical instrument? Find the sound of a piano key, flute hole, or guitar string on the Internet and hum the selected note. You can hum the name of the note, for example, C. Or just vowels. It is more difficult to perform consonants, the lowest and highest notes. Don't be upset if you fail at first.
  • Imitation. Choose any artist whose voice you think is similar to your own. Play his works at medium volume and sing along. When you feel like you are making progress, close your ears with your fingers. This way you will hear your own voice. How to learn to sing independently and beautifully? Make sure your voice stays on the appropriate notes. You can find the notes for the selected composition in advance, sing them and only then start singing along. A voice recorder and even better quality sound recording will also help you hear your own voice. Don't be alarmed if the voice seems unfamiliar. Usually you perceive it from the inside, while others perceive it from the outside.

Over time, you will learn to hit the notes perfectly, which will ensure a beautiful sound. When this happens, start practicing playing more difficult compositions. However, it is still too early to sing with a second voice - in third.

Breathing exercises for voice training

Surely, while singing along, you have noticed more than once that you cannot keep up with your favorite performer. How to learn to sing at home on your own if you just don’t have enough breath to sing to the end of the line? And all because to maintain the pace you need to breathe correctly. It sounds funny, but singing breathing is different from what we are used to. It involves the lower ribs and the diaphragm.

The diaphragm is the muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. Its contraction and relaxation and the corresponding expansion and contraction of the chest contribute to correct singing.

So, you need to understand that singing, like any other activity, has a number of strict rules:

  • Learn to take a short, sharp inhale and a slow, smooth exhale.
  • The depth of inhalation should correspond to the duration of exhalation - as you exhale, you need to sing the whole phrase.
  • Practice until this type of breathing becomes natural to you.
  • Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, performing a note and then a set of words.

When these exercises seem easy to you, you can turn to more complex known methods. Find out other ways to learn to sing on your own - video lessons will help you. Watch the figure eight exercise. It involves holding your breath and counting to eight as many times as possible. The minimum number of eights is ten.

It is worth noting: practicing yoga with chanting mantras can be considered an excellent school - it is a simultaneous training of the body, breathing and voice.

Developing diction and articulation

How to learn to sing on your own if you don’t have a voice? At first, learning feels as if some sounds are being swallowed and words are being crumpled. This is due to poorly developed diction and articulation. The result is porridge instead of singing. There is no need to despair. We can fix everything, and it’s quite easy and fun. Continuing the breathing training, we recite tongue twisters.


You can start with the easiest and shortest ones, and end with the longest and most difficult to pronounce. Our actions:

  • we inhale through the nose and as we exhale we say a tongue twister, for example, bull, blunt-lipped, blunt-lipped bull;
  • achieved clarity of sound - we complicate the task with the addition: the bull is blunt-lipped, blunt-lipped bull, the bull had a white lip and was blunt;
  • focus on clear pronunciation, as if you are exaggerating everything said.

Also, train yourself to sing before any composition, which you probably observed more than once when you were looking for how to learn to sing on your own - video. This old “grandfather’s” method is still used by many vocal teachers. To train your voice, sing vowels combining them with consonants, for example, kra-kro-kru-kri-kry-kre. As soon as such chanting becomes a habit, complicate the task: replace it with a more complex combination of sounds, change the timbre while singing, add rhythm.

Remember: your ability can turn into talent. The main thing is to believe in yourself and not be lazy to constantly practice.

It is difficult to say when a person realized that singing charges us with positive energy, cleanses the soul and body, has a beneficial effect on health, strengthens the spirit and confidence. People sing to convey their emotions, inner state, experiences... However, not everyone knows that singing is 90% of work and only 10% of talent. How to learn to sing and whether it is possible to learn vocal skills on your own, this article is about that.

A person sings when he loves and is loved, when there is pain or joy in his soul. By expressing his attitude to the world through singing, the vocalist develops emotionality, intelligence, imagination, sensuality, aesthetic and artistic taste, a sense of rhythm, and the ability to manage his time. Singing relieves stress and eases emotional distress and pain. A person finds harmony and balance, experiences euphoria, becomes soft and confident.

Everyone loves to sing, but the question is: does it always work out? Learning to sing well will take both time and effort. The song conveys the state of a person's soul. It happens that the motive of a favorite song spins in your head all day, or a new melody appears for a certain verse, or poems are born. All these are feelings that reveal the inner world.

How to learn to sing beautifully

To sing beautifully, you need to learn to sing according to the notes - harmoniously and accurately intoning the pitch of each note. To do this, it is not necessary to start shouting and singing loudly. Loud does not mean beautiful and correct, besides, you can significantly tear your vocal cords and completely lose your voice.

  • The first thing that is required from a beginning vocalist is not to be afraid to control your voice and learn how to “present” it;
  • Learn to breathe correctly - breathe with your stomach! When you sing, don't try to take a deep breath. Imagine that inside you, from your throat to your stomach, there is a light rod and its base is in your stomach. When making a sound, the stomach should “grow” and not retract. Remember, learning to sing is learning to breathe! In addition, the development of the respiratory system strengthens the walls of blood vessels, which means that colds will become rare and the immune system will be stronger;
  • If you have speech therapy problems: stuttering, incorrect pronunciation of sounds and other problems - vocals fight such problems quickly and effectively. It develops diction and miraculously copes with acquired and congenital speech defects. Learning to sing well is easy - the main thing is to want to!
  • Tongue twisters and recitative reading of any texts will contribute to the correct declaration. Remember the golden rule of vocal art - vowels are sung, consonants are pronounced;
  • In addition to notes, there is musical notation (size of the work, duration of notes, musical signs - notes, pauses, grace notes, sharp, bekar; tonality, pauses and much more.). Mastering musical notation is relatively difficult, but it is necessary in order to easily read music texts;
  • It’s good if, in addition to the desire to sing, there is a desire to play a musical instrument. Thanks to the instrumental perception of sounds, the question “how to learn to sing” is solved twice as quickly.

The rustling of leaves, the song of the wind, the patter of rain, the chirping of a sparrow, the rustling of pages - all this is music. There is an opinion that there are people who have had their ears “stepped on” by a bear. Let's say right away - there are no such people. There are those who have not made an ounce of effort to master musical or vocal skills. Learning to sing beautifully is as easy as learning to ride a bicycle. The main thing is to make up your mind and go ahead! Systematic classes, sound production adjustments, vocal exercises - all this will give the desired result. However, we must not forget that diligence is good, but the break between classes, which last about 45 minutes, should be about 10 hours.

But what to do if the notes have already been learned and the vocalist understands how to breathe correctly. To learn to sing beautifully, do you need to go to an experienced teacher or maybe educate yourself?

How to learn to sing at home

You don't have to leave home to learn to sing. This can be learned with the help of popular and quite common trainings today, distance learning and online classes. Especially if your desire does not at all include professional singing. Therefore, if you want to become the “soul” of the company or simply decide to give a song to your loved one and look decent at the same time, use the following tips to learn how to sing on your own:

  • Stand in front of a mirror and do the following exercise. Remember the vowels: a, e, i, o, u, s, e. Let's learn to sing them. On “a” - the mouth is wide open, the lower jaw reaches the chest. With “e” and “e” we remember opera singers. This is a noticeable smile with a slightly open mouth. On “and” - the corners of your lips reach towards your ears, while you smile. On the "o" you have a bagel in your mouth. On “y” - imagine as if you are applying lipstick - your mouth is half open, a barely noticeable smile. Now try to sing all the vowels in a row, taking into account how to open your mouth correctly and remember about singing on your stomach. Do this exercise every day. When everything starts to work out automatically, you can move on to the works. However, do not forget - your singing should not be a terrifying grimace - there is a golden mean in everything;
  • Before you learn to sing well, professionally or for yourself, learn a few chants. You probably know them from school. The famous “mi-me-ma-mo-mu”, etc. Chants are needed to warm up the ligaments and prepare them for long-term singing. After all, if the voice is not prepared, it can break, wheeze, etc.;
  • In order to choose a piece or sing a song you like with a backing track (karaoke), it must be in your key - that is, so that it is comfortable to sing (not low and not high). You can devote a lot of time to learning to sing, but if you choose a song that is not in your key, all your work will be in vain;
  • Never sing outside, especially if it's cold. Do not eat chocolate, bread, cookies, or drink cold drinks before singing.

Singing helps you enjoy life, lift your spirits, get new sensations, and experience different emotions. Sing for yourself, for your friends and family! The key to the soul is a song, and in order to choose this key correctly, you need to learn to sing and learn some secrets that you learned about from this article. Good luck to you, new opportunities and fair winds in your aspirations!

If you plan to perform on a big stage or you just like to sing in the company of friends or alone, then you just need to get your voice right first. 1. Breathing Breathing is very important for a properly delivered voice, affecting its strength and expressiveness. If you learn to properly control your breathing, then this will subsequently save you from possible injuries that can be caused by overstrain of the vocal cords. By taking into account several sets of exercises, you will learn to control proper breathing when singing:

    1. It is important to learn to control the force of your exhalation. For this exercise, take a feather of any size and blow on it. Your task is to make all the fluff flutter. Now the matter gets more complicated: blow so that only the tips of the fluffs move.2. Now take a lightweight disposable plastic bag. Your task is to use your breath to keep the bag in the air without falling to the floor.3. Take a deep breath through your mouth, stretching out “z-z-z” as you exhale. Let the sound come from within, as if filling your lungs. When you get the sound you want, experiment with other consonants, later adding the vowel “a” to them.
When you sing, your inhalation should be deep but short, but your exhalation should be slow. It is during the exhalation that the sound occurs, so it should be smooth and continuous. 2. Resonators First, let’s define what “resonators” are. As you know, they are part of the vocal apparatus and help amplify sound. Simply put, without resonators we would not be able to communicate with each other, because we would not hear our interlocutors. It is worth noting that the singing sound becomes audible when the air that we exhale from the lungs tries to break through the closed glottis. After this, the vibration of the ligaments begins. As a rule, the ability to correctly use resonators comes gradually - after the singer learns to control his own singing. Subsequently, with the help of this skill you will learn to direct the sound to the desired point. Note that there is chest and head resonance. In the first case, you provide your voice with power and strength, and in the second, “flight of sound” and endurance appear. 3. Voice timbre Almost any voice can acquire a professional sound if its owner learns to control its emotional coloring. Let's decide what voice timbres exist in general. So, among the male ones - tenor (the highest), baritone, bass. Female timbres: soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, contralto. You are unlikely to be able to determine what timbre you have on your own - a spectrometer or a vocal teacher can handle this task. 4. Vocal support - what is it? Vocal support can be called singing in which the diaphragm is engaged. If there is vocal support, there is no need for strong tension on the vocal cords. Having a vocal support, you will be able to sing for several hours in a row, so future singers certainly need to develop it. How to sing on a support? To be able to sing on a support, practice developing abdominal breathing. Usually people breathe from the chest, but if you want to sing on a support, then this can only be achieved by breathing “through the stomach.” To begin, place your left hand on your stomach and your right hand on your chest. Now learn to inhale so that your right hand remains motionless, and under your left, your stomach inflates and deflates.

Where to start learning

The main thing in this matter is not to harm yourself. Remember that in order to have a good voice, you should practice a lot and diligently, and not wait for quick results. The ligaments need training, and cannot immediately be ready to perform the most complex parts. You may know a lot about how to sing correctly, but if you don’t start with training, then all this theory will mean nothing. You should start with chanting - do not immediately hit the upper or lower notes, you will conquer them later, after chanting in the middle range .

Special vocal cord exercises for singing

Regular repetition of these exercises has a positive effect on ligament training:
    imagine gargling without throwing your head up - instead, slowly turn it from side to side. Make these sounds until you have enough breath for it. Take a deep breath with your mouth, and as you exhale, “moo”, while at the same time tapping your nostrils with the pads of your index fingers. Tap your upper lip with your fingertips, while making the sounds: “would” “I wish I could” (as long as I can breathe). Now tap the pad of your finger on your lower lip, similarly saying “ze-ze-ze” or “you-you-you.” A regular yawn can also be classified as an exercise. Yawning is the easiest way for a performer to relax the neck and diaphragm. To induce a yawn, simply actively imagine it, open your mouth wide and inhale. A slight cough will also be useful. You should imagine how you are gradually squeezing air out of your throat, thereby activating the muscles of the abdomen, as well as the lower part of the chest - exactly those that are recommended to be used when singing. Make a slight vibration of your lips. Slightly clench your mouth and blow out air while humming a song (while keeping your lips closed). It is important that the throat remains relaxed. Move from low to high notes and back again. If you want to “warm up” your voice, then singing with your mouth closed will be very useful. This exercise can be done at any time - while taking a shower, preparing lunch, and so on.

Vocal lessons for beginners

Now in almost any city there are many schools that will help you develop your voice and become a professional singer. If you still can’t decide to start lessons with a teacher, then there are online lessons for you, taught by experienced vocalists. Undoubtedly, from them you will be able to learn a lot of interesting things for yourself and discover all your singing talents.

Constant training will help you develop a beautiful and pleasant voice.

If you practice regularly, it will help you develop a strong and beautiful voice. At the same time, it is important not to forget to take care of the ligaments! A small and light massage will help you do this. Start by applying light pressure to the throat area with your thumb. By massaging your throat while singing, you will put much less stress on the ligaments. A similar action can be done during a long workout.

Songs for voice development

In general, you can sing any song you like and know well, but, of course, it is important to do this in unison with the performer. You can turn on some musical composition while singing along with the singer. It will be good if you record this lesson. Then, listening to the resulting recording, try to determine in what moments you had shortcomings.

How to sing your own voice

Start with a simple chanting exercise

Standing in front of the mirror, inhale and as you exhale, pronounce the sounds “and, uh, a, oh, u.” Repeat the sounds in exactly this sequence until you can’t breathe. Note that the sequence of letters written matters. “I” is the highest frequency, and it is from here that you should begin the exercise for developing your voice. In turn, with "E" you activate the throat area. "A" will engage the chest, and "O" will have an effect on the cardiac blood supply. And finally, we note that “U” involves the lower abdomen. By the way, it is the last sound that should be pronounced as often as possible if you want to make your voice lower. After this, you need to activate the chest and abdomen area - for this, closing your mouth, try to pronounce the sound “M”. Start quietly, gradually increasing the pressure. Finally, pronounce this sound so that tension is felt in the vocal cords. Subsequently, move on to “R”. It is this sound that makes the voice more energetic and has a positive effect on pronunciation. First, you need to prepare a little so that your tongue relaxes a little: lift its tip to the sky, protruding beyond the upper front teeth, try to “growl.” Exhale, inhale, growl. After this, say emphatically: rice, growth, rank, cheese, feast, fence, etc.

Preparing the vocal cords for singing

Note that a simple mint tea can help the ligaments prepare for tension - just drink a cup of this warm drink. Spicy dishes also help relax the ligaments. It is important to drink enough water – maybe with honey and lemon. At the same time, it is important not to abuse dairy products, chocolate, alcohol and coffee drinks before singing. You should also completely eliminate smoking.

Causes of voice loss

Some beginners and experienced singers may face such a serious problem as voice loss. Let us determine the main reasons for this phenomenon:
    Regular stress on the vocal cords. This problem occurs not only among singers, but also among teachers, actors and people of any profession related to oratory. Infectious diseases of the larynx. Exposure to cold drinks, smoke. Burn (thermal or chemical). Ligament paresis. Tumor of the larynx.
When a person loses his voice, the first thing he does is begin to “wheeze”, subsequently switching to a whisper. This can lead to a complete absence of voice. During the period of voice restoration, you should once again not overload your vocal cords with telephone conversations or speeches. By the way, doctors are convinced that a telephone conversation can cause even more harm than face-to-face communication. Also try not to go out into the cold air too much, and, of course, avoid smoking.

How to develop the desired voice timbre

Many people try to develop a deeper voice timbre in order to give it more sensuality and mystery. This is not easy to do, but still, with due diligence, everything will work out:
    First of all, it is important to learn to breathe from the diaphragm, this can add depth to your voice. When pronouncing words, try to extract sounds from the diaphragm. Try to consciously lower your voice. One way is to press the back of your tongue to your throat. You have to find the right position by moving your tongue. In general, practice lowering the pitch of your voice until it becomes a habit. However, if you experience discomfort, it is better to take a short break.

How to learn to sing well if you have no voice

How to improve your existing vocal abilities

First of all, it is important to monitor your own shortcomings and try to correct them. Audio recordings of your own voice can help you with this. Don’t think that you can determine your skill by ear - it’s better to use a voice recorder, and if you don’t have one yet, try closing one ear when singing to hear yourself better. Don't get too carried away with singing if you feel tired - in this case, you can only harm yourself. Please note that if you feel weakness in your stomach, this means that your support is weak, but things will still improve. It is much worse if you have a sore throat - most likely you are overloading the ligaments, and in this case you should definitely take a break. Keep track of these moments. Many people are convinced that they do not have singing talent simply because they did not perform songs at matinees as children. In fact, after vocal lessons, you can achieve great heights in singing, even for those people who did not gravitate towards it in childhood. If you want to hit high notes, it is important to train your body. As you begin to sing, draw in your lower abdomen, relaxing its upper part, thereby providing support with your lower abs. Also try not to raise your larynx too high, raising your tone, so that your voice does not break. Try to control the situation by placing your fingers above your larynx while singing. Over time, you will be able to get your larynx down when you sing. You should not look up when singing high notes. Look forward, do not bend your throat, thereby making the sound tense. Note that if you move your tongue forward a little, it will give the high notes a brighter sound.

To have a strong voice, breathe correctly

In order for your voice to be strong, you need to learn how to breathe correctly and deeply. As you inhale and exhale, inflate your stomach. Make sure you are doing everything correctly: place your palms on your waist (on the sides, closer to the ribs), so that your thumb is on your back and the rest on your stomach. As you inhale and exhale, you need to feel how your palms move apart and come together again. Perhaps deep breathing still requires serious effort from you. In this case, lie on the floor with your back, placing your palms on your stomach. Then make sure that as you inhale and exhale, your arms rise and fall. Shoulders must remain motionless!

Working with the voice - lessons on proper vocals

If you are planning to attend vocal lessons, then it is important to know what awaits you and what teachers usually pay attention to:
    complex exercises that promote voice development; expanding the range, developing intonation, vocal flexibility; theory and practice of singing; singing breathing; improving diction and articulation; studying the features of the vocal apparatus.
Remember that it may take a lot of time before you learn to sing, but this is absolutely no reason to be upset - prepare in advance for such a development of events. If you are unable to master the craft of singing at home, then be sure to seek help from a teacher who will help you find your own ideal sound.
