Not all of us are born with the natural ability to sing effortlessly; for almost everyone, it takes years of practice and/or professional training. And even then, it’s always a great idea to refresh your memory with some ways to improve your singing!

One

Enunciation

In different genres, you’ll notice different levels of enunciation. But even so, it doesn’t matter if you’re hitting all the right notes if your words are mumbled! Make sure each and every time you sing, you’re enunciating every word to be as clear as possible.

Two

Know Your Vocal Range

Knowing yourself and your voice is a very important factor when performing every genre. Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t hit a certain high note; even the most well-known and award-winning vocalists are unable to hit every single note in every single song. If you attempt notes that are outside of your range, you may miss words and create a strained sound.

Three

Take Care of Your Voice

Taking care of your voice can mean a variety of different things; all of which can make the world of a difference! This could mean warming up before creating your next recording, being attentive to your breathing while singing, and even something as simple as drinking more water on a daily basis.

Four

Sing From Your Diaphragm

When you sing, you need to control the amount of air you’re releasing. Breathing from your diaphragm allows you to do so, controlling the air supply to your vocal chords.

Five

Sing For The Style

Especially when singing just for fun, it’s important to sing for the style. For example, if singing a country song, make sure you’re emulating the same energy as country artists! Of course, along with this, it’s important to keep your own personal style consistent when combining it with a variety of different genres. Think of well-known voices like Michael Jackson and Britney Spears; no matter what they’re singing, you can tell it’s them!

Six

Practice Makes Perfect!

Just like in anything else, practice really does make perfect. Singing while doing everyday tasks such as cleaning, cooking, or doing laundry is a fantastic way to get some practice even on the busiest days. On SingSnap, if you’re not feeling ready to record yet we have a practice option on our recorder!

Seven

Posture, posture, posture.

In order to optimize and enhance your breathing, sit or stand straight! As minor as this change may be, it will make you appear more confident when performing (or filming) as well as improve your sound.

We can’t say enough how important it is to HAVE FUN when performing or recording with us on SingSnap. As important as all these tips are, above all else remember to enjoy yourself and to sing from your heart!
