Relax your tongue. Most novice singers and many people in general tend to hold excessive tension in their tongues. A majority of vocal issues stem from tension in the tongue, which can lead to tension in the jaw and constriction in the back of the throat. It is essential to allow your tongue to rest on your bottom front teeth and relax it further forward in your mouth. If your tongue is curled up or resting on the roof of your mouth, it is likely too constricted.

Breathe naturally. Taking in too much air while singing can impede your ability to sing freely and uninhibitedly. Excessive air can constrict the muscles at the back of your throat, making it difficult to reach high notes. Remember that both breathing and singing should be natural and effortless, so focus on maintaining this ease while singing. If you’re wondering “how can I sing better?”, keep in mind the importance of breathing and singing naturally.

Open your mouth wide. Your voice is the gateway to your soul, serving as the meeting point between your true self and the music to convey your unique interpretation of a song. Stretch the muscles of your throat, face, and mouth. When singing, open up and let it all out. If your mouth is too tightly closed, your tongue area may be constricted. Make sure to open the front, top, bottom, and back of your mouth while singing. Sing “ahh” from the depths of your heart, and allow the back of your mouth to open widely. This produces a truly beautiful sound that resonates wonderfully.

Sing with your authentic voice. Many singers can imitate others, but this is more akin to ventriloquism or karaoke. Embrace your heart and authentic voice instead of trying to mimic others. Truly connecting with the music and feeling the emotion throughout the song puts you in touch with your genuine self. Let your love for singing and zest for life shine through your voice. Allow yourself to be excited and have fun while singing, as your energy level will be conveyed through your performance.

Singing should be as easy as speaking. Avoid forcing your voice, as this can lead to vocal cord injuries and poor sound quality. There should be no straining or reaching when you sing. If you’re seeking ways to improve your singing, remember to use your own voice and sing naturally.
