Many people mistakenly believe that singing on stage with a microphone is easy if you have a good melodic voice. However, the reality is that in addition to having a good voice, you also need to train your vocal chords and maintain the quality of your voice. Most professional singers and musicians would agree that singing exercises are the key to having a well-toned, clear, and smooth voice.

For superior and well-defined singing, it is important to connect with the audience with your words and your melody. One of the best singing exercises for kids, teenagers, and adults is to learn to pronounce every word and sound in a song clearly. Many singers find it difficult to pronounce certain letters such as ‘t’, ‘b’, ‘d’, and ‘s’. To make these individual letters sound clear, it is recommended to sing lines that contain these words and emphasize their sound. This simple practice can make a big difference in your pronunciation and singing quality.

Your breathing technique also has a significant impact on your voice quality and performance. Often, singers need to hold a high note for a long time, say for 8 beats. To do this, they need to hold the note for 8 beats in just one breath. In such cases, it is important to use the right breathing technique for singing. One good exercise is to inhale air and hold it for 8 beats, and then exhale it for the same amount of time required for the completion of the bars. This exercise can really make a difference in allowing you to hold a particular note for the required time.

A good singer is one who can reach the lowest note as well as the highest one. And to do this, you need to train your vocal chords to work in the expected way. This can also be considered a warm-up exercise before your daily singing practice or before a live show. Start from the lowest note you are comfortable with, and hold that note for a while. Now, switch to a high note and hold it the same way. Keep practicing with the notes until you reach the highest and lowest ones. However, start from the highest one to the lowest one.

After completing all the standard singing exercises, you should sing to the tune of professional vocalists. Just play a song of your favorite artist or a well-known singer and sing along with the lyrics. Make sure that the pitch of the singer and your pitch matches. Try to achieve high and low notes, as the singer does. You can also play a track and sing a karaoke. This will really help you judge your singing quality and performance.
