By Kenneth L. Johnson


Many people ask themselves 'how can I teach myself to sing?' as the cost and time associated with learning from a professional instructor is horrendous not to mention the scrutiny you must learn under. How then can you teach yourself such a complex skill to a degree that can make people sit up and listen when you break out in song? Well with the wealth of resources on the internet and a few tips you can easily better your voice.Firstly there are a few things you can do yourself that will help you develop a good singing voice and expend your range.

So what's the real reason adults feel that they can't learn to sing? It's nothing more than simple fear. Ignorant people who know nothing about music take it upon themselves to sneer and criticize you. As a budding vocalist, you take it to heart and become afraid to even open your mouth. Forget about them. If you want to sing, here are the steps you need to take.Discover deep abdominal breathing.Your breath is the life and support of your voice. Let it out slowly and effortlessly. If you're doing it right, you should become more and more relaxed as you breathe.

Once you are very relaxed from your breathing, start humming simple songs like "Mary had a little Lamb" or "Twinkle Twinkle". Stay relaxed and concentrate on discovering your voice rather than trying to force it.Listen and Imitate.Part of becoming a great singer is the ability to sing in tune. This is a skill that will get better and better with practice. Again, start with easy, simple tunes and you'll be amazed at how quickly you progress. Ignore the Critics and Sing.Feel free to make mistakes because that is how you will discover your hidden talent. Believe that you can develop a beautiful voice and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Don't let anyone convince you that you have no talent - because your potential is fantastic. If you want it, go for it.

So just these two things will help you to learn to sing fast. Practice them just a few times a day and you'll be on your way. People just don't have the proper technique most of the time. That's the problem. Just a little education goes a long way in singing just like anything else in life.

Also, one obstacle to learning to sing is trying to imitate others. If you're always trying to imitate others, you will probably end up frustrated and won't become a great singer. You have a unique voice that isn't like anyone else's in the world. So if you're practicing by singing other people's songs, sing them with your own natural tone. Trust me, this is a common mistake people make when asking how do I learn to sing?So How Do I Start Learning to Sing?First, you can start answering how do I learn to sing by controlling your larynx. Your larynx is simply that cartilage in the back of your throat that closes when you swallow.

Jazz is one genre of music that allow singers the freedom to develop a unique sound and express themselves through improvisation. If you have not heard so already, there are some great jazz singers who possess a magical voice that is just so identifiable when you hear them on the radio or on a CD, e.g Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole to name but a few. If indeed you are interested in becoming the next Ella or Frank, where can you learn to sing jazz?

It is usually best to start looking for a singing teacher in your local area. Of course, there will be some who are primarily classical singers, but if you look around in a bit of detail you will definitely find some who teach jazz, pop and/or musical theatre. Here are some suggestions...

Don't we all want that - being able to hold really high notes, sound them out cleanly, and leave a good impression. People respect talent and like to hear it and as you master how to sing higher notes, you will receive positive attention for your singing voice, for sure.Where do you start? Well, it all starts with strain. When you sing in your comfortable range, you can usually do it calmly and naturally, without having to put a lot of muscle energy into sounding the notes. But as you get higher and higher, something happens - you tighten up.So the first thing to do as you're trying to learn to sing higher notes is to relax your voice box. Now, how do you do that exactly? The secret is in your Adam's apple.

You know, that bump in the front of your neck where the tube that brings food to your stomach ends? Try singing a scale or a song which is comfortable for you and which you can do easily. At the same time, hold a finger on that bump and pay attention to how it's moving. Now try singing something which is too high and makes you strain, at the same time noticing the movement of that bump.

As your esophagus (that tube for food) moves up, it gradually blocks more and more of the air moving through your voice box, so it gets harder and harder to sing. Your goal is to relax your Adam's apple so that it stays down and doesn't block any air.Try yawning consciously. You should feel your Adam's apple move down immediately. Now try singing while keeping it at this low position. You will make a weird sound, like Yogi bear - but that's okay, you're doing it for the goal of improving your singing voice. Sing the same sound but with this weird sound - your larynx moved all the way down. You will find it a lot easier to sing higher notes.
