Members JCasidy Posted May 12, 2015 Members Share Posted May 12, 2015 Learning to sing – can anyone teach you how to sing? Of course, if you have the patience to learn and practice. One of the most common questions of beginners is if it is important to be able to sing in tone and pitch. Yes, it is very important or you might as well be singing absolute nonsense. A song that is sung by melody rarely sounds like an original. Many people think that they are tone deaf and unable to sing in melody. However, the reality is that anyone is able to sing well if he/she still has got his/her vocal chords. It is a skill, and just like anything else, put in time and effort and you will reap great rewards. All you need to do is to practice. Train your hearing in order to be able to determine the right pitch and notes. In the end, you will be able to find your own unique melody. Be patient and give yourself time to find your own breathing technique. Does your voice hurt when you try to sing like someone else? Most likely you simply haven’t found your own singing voice yet. The first and most important task for a new singer is to find his own unique singing voice. After this, you can accept it and free it. The hardest is not to find your singing voice, but to accept it. Imagine you discover that you have a great voice for singing country music, but you do not like country. Here fits the old saying, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” The world is full of talented individuals who wish that they were great at something else, like basketball players who wish they were professional baseball players, or hockey players who wish they were football pros and so on. It is same with music. Many musicians love to listen to different styles of music instead of the one they create. You must accept your unique voice even if you don’t like it and live with it. Remember, as your voice improves and progresses over time, you will be able to sing in different styles as well. So how can you find your unique voice? Remember, if you feel like you sound like a wounded dog, there is a good chance that you just haven’t found your natural singing voice yet. Practice and research are the most important methods to achieve your goals. You can also consider hiring a professional singing coach for certain period of time. It is a great way how to find your unique voice. A personal coach will help you receive immediate feedback on your progress. If coaching is not a viable solution for you because of high cost of other reasons, another great solution is self-practice using CD or DVD sets made by professionals. They provide professional insight in everything there is to know about singing. I, myself, have had a great success with such products. This is because I prefer to practice from the comfort of my own home and it is way more affordable than professional courses or coaching. One of my favourite methods and the one I would recommend to others who want to improve their singing is superior singing method So there you have it! In my opinion it is really possible for anyone to learn to sing. We all have a gift and it is our job to nurture and praise it. If you are really serious about singing just start practicing now and reap the rewards later. It is never too late to get started! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Delmont Posted June 11, 2015 Members Share Posted June 11, 2015 I don't know what "A song that is sung by melody rarely sounds like an original" means. Most songs have melodies except for rap and talking blues. All songs are originals unless they're plagiarized. Can you put it another way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Robert Lunte Posted March 13, 2017 Members Share Posted March 13, 2017 You have to build the physical strength with belting exercise and narrowing. Then you need to train the ears to know how to hear "sound colors" or singing vowels properly. It takes training. http://www.TheVocalistStudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For people new to this, "sound colors" = singing vowels. NOT language vowels, but singing vowels, they are not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm still dragging the river for mine, but it must be there somewhere!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Robert Lunte Posted March 14, 2017 Members Share Posted March 14, 2017 Not trying to be a party pooper, but do you want to be "left off the hook" on becoming a better singer? Singing requires practice and training just like any other instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
