4 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR SINGING VOICE.

1. Breathing Exercises

In order to be able to hold your notes and vocal lines without gasping for air by the end of the line, it is a good idea to practice breathing exercises to give yourself more control. Singing is, after all, just vibrating breath! One great exercise is called the “one minute breath.”

Here is a good way to get started: exhale for four seconds (to empty out your lungs), then inhale for eight seconds, hold the breath for eight seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. Once you perfect this breath, move onto (still) exhaling for four seconds, then inhale nine, hold for nine, and exhale for nine seconds. Gradually, you can work up to the full “one minute breath.” Try it



2. Vocal Warm-ups

 A nice easy exercise is to sing “mah-mah-mah-mah-mah” on a major triad — for women, perhaps start on the G major triad below middle C, and for men, you can start on the C major triad an octave below middle C. Then you can warm up on some of the other pure vowel sounds, including “meh-meh-meh-meh-meh,” “mee-mee-mee-mee-mee,” “moh-moh-moh-moh-moh,” and “moo-moo-moo-moo-moo.” Work your way down to your lowest note in half-steps and then back up to your highest note in half-steps.



3. Choose Your Song

Next, try singing along with several gospel singers whom you admire. It might be Dunsin oyekan, Nathaniel Bassey, Mercy chinwo and so many of them. If you can hit all the notes that they are hitting, that is a great song to start with. If you find a singer whose voice is similar to yours, then you can learn a bunch of his/her songs and build your voice.

4. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat!

Any vocal style worth studying is going to take a large chunk of time to really get a feel for its ins and outs. Spend at least a few years studying gospel singing — developing your repertoire, your vocal lines, and eventually your own personal style — with a vocal coach who specializes in the genre.

If you love music as much as I do, you will really enjoy your voyage into gospel singing! Give yourself the gift of developing your talent and then sharing your voice with others!

5 BASIC COMPONENTS OF SINGING

  There are   5 Basic Components of Singing : 1. Pitch 2. Rhythm 3. Breath 4. Voice 5. Diction Let us take a brief look at each of these topics: 1. PITCH We all know how it feels like to listen to someone sing off-key or out of tune, especially if we are in a small confined space with nowhere else to go… This is why pitch is absolutely  essential  for great singing. Pitch refers to the notes and sounds that we hear when someone sings, and it determines if the song is going to sound great or not. The singer will have to hit various pitches in a song with a relative amount of accuracy in order to be in tune with the overall music accompaniment and harmonies. 2. RHYTHM Every song has a certain beat, and it is essential that we keep to the  basic rhythm  of the song, or else we might find that we are constantly trying to catch up with the lyrics or always lagging behind. Rhythm also determines the groove of the song, and this is what gets us on our ...
