A lot of people seem to think that the only way to learn how to sing is by hiring a local vocal coach for a series of private singing lessons. Of course going this route is extremely expensive as you have to pay for each and every singing lesson and that adds up very fast. But expense isn't the only reason not to choose private lessons.In my experience there can be quite an issue with getting the right support and understanding from a local vocal coach. I actually had an experience where the person I hired didn't think I should be a singer because they said I just didn't have the voice for it. They even told me to "get another hobby." Because of that experience I waited another 7 years before I tried to learn how to sing again.
This article is not intended to describe the idea of producing different tones but rather to help you to use karaoke backing tracks as a tool and will focus on that aspect.Backing tracks offer a very specific advantage that scale training does not offer. Using tracks you sing an actual song and not just a bunch of different notes. Don't get me wrong, singing scales are great way to warm up and help increase you range but to be honest I've always found that when it come's to singing a real song, there's always something different about hitting the high notes than there is doing scale training.
It's fairly obvious that songs in general don't always follow specific note patterns that are found on scale training guides and therefore you need to use your muscles differently. For example you may be required to hit a fairly high note from a very low note and then go back down in a song where the scales tend to be more chromatic, which is to say they often go up and down in a "doh, ray, mee " fashion that is quite predictable. You basically use your throat muscles differently for each song, so you're really as far ahead to sing songs rather than scales in a sense.
Take your favorite song, you can download them from the internet for not too much money at all, and give it a listen to. The first thing you need to know is whether or not the song you want to sing is in your range. It's very likely that high notes are going to be a problem for you if you're just starting out so make sure you can come close to at least most of the notes.
Sing along to your tracks and get a feel for where the changes are and learn to anticipate them. You won't have to go through a song like this too many times before you realize that you are getting to know how the song really goes. Finally, record yourself singing the song and then compare it to the original to critique it a little bit at a time. Did you go high or low enough on the last phrase? Did you hold the note long enough? Too long maybe? Are you able to hit the highest or lowest notes? You can cheat a little by singing an octave higher or lower on that particular note or phrase.
Many benefits you can enjoy when you decide to learn to sing online include:Inexpensive.Modules and programs for people who want to learn to sing online are less expensive than the tuition or fees associated with singing schools and academies or personal singing tutors. You could literally save yourself hundreds of dollars while still getting the same results.Convenient.One of the biggest benefits when you learn to sing online is the convenience of learning from your own home. You just have to read the training and reading materials provided and start training yourself right away. You no longer have to worry wasting time and energy having to drive to your school or tutor.
I've always said that you already can sing, you just need t know how. Well a pinch of honest self criticism and some of your favorite karaoke backing tracks (compared to the original version of course) and you'll be on your way to being a great singer and maybe you'll even get the itch to take it a step further and consider performing.
All we really have to do is to become more aware of those muscles that we use on a daily basis when we speak, talk, laugh, breathe, cough and so many other things. Then we will be able to start controlling those muscles and using them to sing, and to sing with confidence.The most unfortunate thing in the world is when someone has been told to stop singing because they have been told they are tone deaf. There may be a few who really can't, but I think most aren't given the chance to learn how easy it is. And of course, the moment someone is put down about his or her own most vulnerable part of human expression, that person is loathe to do it again, especially in front of anyone!
Personalize the Song.You must never underestimate the importance of making a song your own, whether it relates to your life or not. No one wants to watch you stand there and recite a song. Your audience wants to connect with you and believe that you mean the song you are singing. This is what will make you memorable.
Learn the Lyrics.Read the words out loud in short little bursts rather than trying to learn the whole thing as one piece.Record yourself saying the words so you can listen to it often, even put it under your pillow while you fall asleep.Type or write the words while you say them out loud.Repeat the song several times per day.Memorize the words on their own first without the music.Hang copies of the song around your home with different parts highlighted that you are struggling with.Once you learn the song, reward yourself with some kind of treat.Break Down the Song.Essentially, you really need to study a song the same way that an actor studies a script. You need to determine the key, tempo, style and dynamics. In addition to learning the lyrics, you have to know when to take a breath and what words to emphasize too.If you want to be a real singer, you have to own every bit of the song. By breaking it into little pieces, you become the expert over every second of it. To do this, you have to understand the various elements of the song, learn what to look for the first time you see or hear it and figure out the best way to learn it. A singing software program is a gigantic help in this area when you are trying to learn to sing songs.
