Hello! Thank you so much for the singing tips, as well as thank you to everyone else who added on! I mainly asked because my vocal coach and my performing arts teacher at my school have completely different views on it and I wanted to know your thoughts too! If it isn't an inconvenience, could you share some general singing tips?
yes i can definitely share some tips!! iâve been singing for a while so here are some quick things iâve picked up:
- a lot of those high notes youâre afraid of are actually achievable. you just have to get out of your own head
- never underestimate the power of a good warmup. your vocal cords are important and need warming up like every other muscle in your body
- breath is EVERYTHING
- most of singing is mind over matter. if youâre scared of a note or a phrase or pronunciation, itâs less likely youâll get it. practice makes perfect!
- youâre not going to be an amazing singer right away. let yourself make mistakes. really! i know it sounds stupid but i was held back for a while because i wouldnât let myself sound bad! let your voice crack. let yourself miss a note. practice is practice for a reason. you donât have to be perfect as long as youâre learning.
- relax. take a few minutes before any rehearsal or performance and focus on yourself. are you thirsty? do you need to stretch? your voice will come easier if you know that your body is relaxed and doesnât need anything.
- water is GOLD. just donât ice it too much. room temperature water is perfect for rehearsals and tea is good for before performances.
i hope these help! these tips apply to all the other anons that asked me about this, too!
