If you want to make the most of your voice and achieve a smooth sound and tone from your highest to your lowest notes, these daily vocal exercises can help you reach this goal.

Keep an eye out for my other articles on how to prepare for singing and breathing exercises that you should try before performing the sets below.

Steps:

  1. Say “le” and “la” out loud, trying to use an Italian accent (pronounce “le” instead of “lay-ee” and “la” instead of “la-uh”).
  2. Combine the vowels “a” and “e” with the “L” sound in a curving arc-like sound, quickly flicking your tongue to make the “L” sound as brief as possible.
  3. Practice this exercise for a few minutes.
  4. Using an Italian accent, pronounce vowels a, e, i, o, u, prefixed with the lip consonant “m.”
  5. Pronounce these vowels in the following manner: “ma” for the “a” vowel, as in the name Arthur; “me” for the “e” in wheel; “mi” for the “i” in machine; “mo” for the “o” in more; and “mu” for the “u” in the word “tool.”

How to Improve Your Singing Voice

If you are a singer or an aspiring singer, you likely already have a great voice. However, it is essential to continually improve and practice your technique to stay ahead in the game. Remember that songs won’t sing themselves, and improving your singing voice requires time and effort.

First, let’s look at how you initially developed your voice. You likely sang along to songs on the radio or CDs and practiced persistently. When others said you were doing too much or going overboard, you kept practicing. This dedication has led you to where you are today. The formula for self-improvement remains the same: practice.

To enhance your singing voice, start with the basics. Perform the simple vocal exercises you practiced when first starting, then move on to more advanced exercises. Next, sing along with songs again, beginning with easy ones like when you first started, and progress to more complex songs.

Attempt to match the singer’s pitch and hold the notes as long as they do. Many people overlook these fundamental steps when trying to improve, thinking they no longer need to revisit the basics. This mistake can be detrimental in any field, especially singing. No matter your profession, if …

Singing Training – Method of Choice

There are various methods used to learn how to sing. The most natural approach is simply listening to a song or music and then singing or humming along to emulate what you hear. Some highly musical individuals can learn to sing well without any lessons, much like talented musicians who teach themselves to play an instrument without lessons or reading musical notes. However, for the majority of us, this is not feasible. We need a structured singing lesson program to enhance our vocal abilities.

You might be on the verge of taking the step to learn how to sing. If so, it is crucial for you to know that the longer you go without proper singing training, the more bad habits you will develop. Consider this: when you listen to other singers, you instinctively mimic what they are doing. It may work for them, but for you, it might turn into a bad habit.

Benefiting From Speech Level Singing

Individuals who are serious about developing their singing abilities should know that there is a technique called speech level singing that can help them achieve a level of vocal cord fitness, maximizing their potential as a singer. When a person tries to sing, it is crucial that the larynx remains stationary and does not move up or down. A proper singing voice is attained when the larynx and vocal cords are held in place from the bottom to the top of one’s vocal range.

The larynx houses the vocal cords and is located midway down the throat, beneath the chin. It also enables safe swallowing by moving up and tightening to prevent ingested material from entering the windpipe. While this function is essential, it is not conducive to singing. When singing, the larynx must remain down. One can learn to effectively control the larynx through training in speech level singing. Keeping one’s vocal cords together is also important. If the cords begin to separate, it can be damaging to the person’s voice.

The two key concepts mentioned above are essential for those who want to sing properly. Once a person understands the correct position of the larynx and …
