There’s a district difference in the quality of how professional artists sing and how beginners sing. Practice and experience are important in training your subconscious. But, that’s not all there is.
There are indeed things you can do to consciously work towards improving your singing skills. Here are 3 ways you can drastically up your singing game and set the stage for substantial improvements in your voice.
Emotionally connect with the lyrics
Jerred Price, the lead of the world’s best Elton John tribute band says, “The most common and adverse mistake most singers make is not focusing on the lyrics.”
Even popular “cover artists” on YouTube fail to convey the emotional tone of the songs. They try their best to stuff their vocal stunts in their performances which usually leads to vocals that are completely out of harmony with what the lyrics mean.
If you sing with emotion, actually feeling the message in the lyrics, you’ll find yourself naturally switching your vocal registers and including your vocal skills in your performance. Jerred Price says, “feel what you’re singing, instead of overthinking it.”
Take up an instrument
Ask any vocalist who also plays an instrument and they’ll tell you how good learning an instrument has been for their singing abilities.
Right now, you probably subconsciously follow major and minor scales when you sing. But learning an instrument gives you insight into different scales—into music theory. I’m not suggesting you become a Herbie Hancock, but understating the relationship between different notes and chords significantly improves you as a singer.
Jarred Price says, “I’ve been playing the piano since I was, 3 and it has definitely contributed to my singing skills.”
Do vocal exercises
“Doing vocal exercises is what separates a professional vocalist from a casual singer,” says Jarred Price. Your vocal folds are made up of muscles, and like any other muscle, they can be trained. The tightness of these muscles determines the frequency at which they vibrate, which is essentially what allows you to sing different notes.
But vocal muscles can only stay tight for so long. Just like you can train your biceps for endurance, you can train your vocal muscles to allow you to sing for longer. But hypertrophy training isn’t the right way to train for endurance and singing isn’t the right way to train your vocal muscles for endurance. There are, however, proper vocal exercises available on the internet one search away.
