How to Be a Good Singer (Talented or Not)

By Sasha Carraway


Want to ensure that you never give the singing performance you dream of? Just tell yourself that you'd best not waste any time learning how to be a good singer, since you quite simply don't have a good enough singing voice. This sort of loser mindset is what typically prevents singers with amazing vocal gifts from ever singing outside of their shower. There are innumerable cases, on the other hand, of singers with far below average inborn singing talent who have gone on to sing in front of hundreds of thousands of adoring fans.

The moment you make the decision that you're going to sing amazingly no matter what (because you can do anything at all that anyone else can do), is the second you'll start yourself down the road to conquering your obstacles of self esteem and technical skill. This attitude is the first and most key step to learning how to be a good singer.

Posture is Power

Certainly one of the most common areas where an everyday singer is dwarfed by a fine one is posture. If you're thinking that posture is a minute singing aspect, consider that the correct posture is essential if you're going to breath in a fashion that's contributory to precise and robust vocal performance. Simply pulling your shoulders back, as an illustration, allows you to instantly maximize your vocal range.

Realize the Power of Optimal Training

Although it may seem too simple to be true, bettering your singing day by day can be as simple as singing scales. It's also extraordinarily helpful to sing songs which make use of those scales and then improvising over a chord structure.

To get the best benefit from your efforts to advance your singing voice and your command of it, practice for around half an hour each and every day (except when your voice needs rest). If you're not prepared to make that substantial of a dedication to learning how to be a good singer, then simply pick particular days each week when you can commit to practicing and follow-through every single week.

Take care not to tumble into the all too popular failure trap of confusing activity with success when you practice. You don't just want to form and reinforce vocal habits with each practice session - you want to form and reinforce correct singing habits. keeping that in mind, always ensure that you find the proper pitch when you practice. You can utilize a piano that's tuned to concert pitch, a specialized gadget like pitch pipes or a tuning fork, or even an instrumental CD to do this.

Outstanding Singers are Invariably Good Breathers

A common misjudgment amongst vocalists who aren't able to shake mediocrity, is that you only need to regulate the rhythm of your breathing to sing correctly. The reality of things is that you actually need to develop 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 ideas to help you with this: recite scales that are oftentimes used in your musical style of choice and do scale warm ups, receive oxygen treatments, and do underwater breathing drills. You're ability to control your respiratory system also depends on its health, so be shrewd about the air you breathe, in addition to food and drink you take in.

Establishing Better Understanding and Ability

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

Accomplish this and your next test is learning chord theory (which chords line up with which keys) and mode theory (the patterns which enable scales to be adapted to keys). Once you've accomplished this, you'll be well prepared 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 execute this you'll be beginning to get excited about the latent singing capacity that is opening itself up to you as you perform songs in a wide range of styles without straying from pitch, rhythm or notes.

Decide to Learn How to Be a Good Singer and...Just Do it!

While there may be simpler things to attain in life than how to be a good singer especially if you don't have a great amount of so-called "god given talent" to help you through the training process, contemplate that the more second-rate (or flat out dreadful) your singing is now, the more satisfaction is in store for you if you'll only do the right things on a regular basis, for a long enough time. The key element to having success isn't being perfect or knowing a lot, it's recognizing that every accomplished vocalist started out from the same place you're at and just taking the next step ahead of you. With each one you take, you become one step closer to realizing your true singing potential.
