Members Terje Posted May 7, 2003 Members Posted May 7, 2003 I've been singing a lot this weekend. And actually got a sore throat from it. Not badly but still, some pain. And I know that I still push too much, one of the most common mistakes to get volume. One great thing to think about that one of my vocal teachers once said is "The only reason for you to push is that something is holding back". Need to work on making that sound bigger, more resonant. Any suggestions?

Members Robben Cain Posted May 8, 2003 Members Posted May 8, 2003 You can control the tone of the sound depending on were you place it in your mouth. Let me try to explain.......if you force the sound farther back in your throat it will have a deep warm sound....kinda like rolling the tone on your guitar. If you force the tone to the front of your face like say the back of your teeth.....it will be really bright. Proper singing technique requires you to have a raised soft pallete. If you press on the top of your throat.....there will be a part where the bone turn soft.....you should form your mouth to make that raised.....but remember this is proper choral technique. To produce volume make sure you sing from your diaphram. When you breath the air should fill your lungs and your stomach should expand. Try to get it to expand in all direction like a balloon. Practice filling it up all the way and forcing the air out. When you sing fill your lungs up and push the air to produce the sound. Use your big power midsection muscle to push the air rather than your throat.....you will be able to sing louder this way. Hope this helps
