2. Practice makes a man perfect.
It may be just a saying for the
common person but it is indeed
commandment for singers.
These vocalists practice day in
and day out just to perfect a
cord that they sing with utmost
simplicity. This is one quality
that even though you are born
with it, you need immense
practice to master it
3. Singing – Science and art
Singing is an art as well a science. The stretching of the chords, the
tuning of the voice and the pitch of the sound all become accurate
with practice and even require a scientific technique to accomplish.
Singing is a passion that people take up as a hobby or even as a
profession. Both require training of some sort but one requires more
than the other does. Singing as a profession requires a lot of
training, years or even decades to be precise. It can be done with or
without a trainer and using tools such as vocal resonation, proper
breathing, phonation, articulation et cetera.
4. Things to know before you actually get into singing
Everyone has a knack to sing. Some
maybe just bathroom singers or some
may be professionals, it all depends
on how you pursue it till the end.
Singing is nothing but producing
musical sound using your voice.
Training your voice box present in
your throat is one of the key aspects of
succeeding in professional singing.
Some rules for practicing better
singing include breathing properly
though your stomach and not your
chest, learning proper singing
postures, warming up every time
before you sing, learning eventually to
recognize pitch eat and drink healthy
and lastly practise regularly.
5. What not to do if you wish to
be a successful singer
The basic idea for any sport or activity to
practice regularly is to generate muscle
memory or actual memory. Practicing singing
does just that. It generates muscle memory in
your pharynx thus allowing you to sing with
ease as you do in practice. In addition,
singing well does not just require singing
practices. It requires a whole set of other
practice sessions, which include breathing
practice, voice control, refraining from
smoking or drinking alcohol, or any other
substance that can harm your vocal cords and
even having a daily diet and exercise regime.
prevents damage to the voice.
6. Training, practice is the key to
be at the centre stage always
The time of practice depends on the level of
experience and amount of training that the
singer has. For a complete beginner no more
than 20 minutes a day including warm up, rests,
vocalisation and cool down. The amount of
practise time should be gradually increased over
a period of months according to your singing
teacher’s instructions. Advanced singers can
practise for a lot longer with practice sessions
broken down into 15 - 20 minute slots of warm
up, vocalisation, rest, repertoire, rest, advanced
repertoire and cool down. Finally, it is up to
people to consider how and what and until when
to practise but the sure formula for success in
singing comes from practice and practice alone.
