1. 7 Tips on How to Sing
Better:
Do you love to sing?
Maybe you love singing in the car or onstage in front of a live audience. Are you
amazed by artists you hear who can really, really sing? If you want to learn more
about singing and improve your vocal performance it’s smart to connect with some
Vocal Coaches, Instructors, and other pros to learn how to sing properly, get some
tips, and hone your skills to get to a professional level.
That’s what we did, and here are some of their main pointers and key advice for
anyone who loves singing and wants to improve their skills.
Learning How to Sing
If you’ve been wanting to learn how to sing, you’re probably wondering what the
best route is. Can you teach yourself? Should you find a Vocal Coach to help you?
What if you can’t take in-person lessons right now?
We asked several respected Vocal Coaches, Singers, and College Faculty for their
advice on learning how to sing.
1. Learn Proper Breathing
It all starts with controlling your breath. After all, the air passing through your
vocal cords in your larynx (sometimes called “voice box”) are what provides the
energy to make a resonant sound. A discussion about how to sing properly must
necessarily start with breath control techniques.
Voice Teachers and Professional Singers will spend a lot of time working on how
to breathe properly when you sing, how to conserve your breath so you can hold a

2. note, and building awareness of what is happening with your diaphragm muscles as
you breathe. Teachers and Singers throw a lot of terms and phrases around, like
“breath support,” “sing from the diaphragm,” and “support the tone.”
Famed Voice Teacher Mark Baxter says breathing should be natural, and can be
negatively affected by nerves or tension in your body and mind. According to
Mark: “Balance is the key to controlling any physical event. And with singing, that
means balancing every sound with just the right amount of air.”
He goes on to say “…trust your reflexes. Breathing and vocal muscles will all
respond in coordination to make whatever sound you want. All you have to do is
get out of your own way. That’s the difference between those who sing so easily
and naturally and those that struggle.” According to Mark, you can build
awareness of natural breathing techniques by paying close attention to the sound
coming out of your mouth.
Mark has developed many exercises for helping Singers to produce a pleasing
vocal sound without damaging their voice and while developing control and
support of your breath.
2. Understand Proper Posture for Singing
What does proper posture look like? Since we are all different, there isn’t really
one certain way you should stand (or sit, though standing is better) that is the
“correct” way. What’s important is that you cultivate awareness of your body and
be sensitive to tension or stiffness in your muscles and voice.
Most Teachers will spend some time with you to analyze and correct any aspects
of your stance and posture as a way to improve your singing from the get-go. They
might have you stand with your back to the wall with your heels, calves, buttocks,
shoulders, and head all touching the wall while you practice breathing while
paying special attention to how your abdomen and chest expand and contract as
your diaphragm moves. They might have you do this while lying on the floor as
well.
The main point is to avoid slouching or stooping your shoulders and adopt a stance
that is naturally suited to your body while breathing in a controlled way. You want
to be flexible and efficient in your breathing while staying loose and natural in how
you hold your body and your head while singing.

3. Pay attention to the positioning of your feet, knees, hips, abdomen, chest,
shoulders, arms, hands, and head. You might want to experiment with putting one
foot a bit in front of the other and leaning forward a slight amount.
3. Stay Healthy and Hydrated
You’ve probably already heard how it’s important to keep your body
hydrated and healthy. This is true! As my grandmother always used to
say: “If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.” Since you
are using your body,lungs, muscles,and vocal cords to produce musical
sounds, you need to maintain that delicate machinery and it starts with
hydration.
If you allow yourself to become dehydrated there are all kinds of
negative things that can happen, and it’s not hard to do. If you’re
sweating or in a warm room or outside, you are losing moisture from
your bodyevery minute. Water vapor also escapes yourbody when you
breathe.
So of course,drinking enough water is key. Our bodies are made up of
about 60% water; according to the Journal of BiologicalChemistry the
brain and heart are composedof 73% water, the lungs are about 83%
water, the skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%,and
even the bones are watery at 31%. It’s not only about drinking water, it’s
about what not to drink: milk, alcohol, sugary sodas,or caffeine-laden
drinks that act as a diuretic, meaning you lose water from your body.
Debra Byrd, head VocalCoach from AmericanIdol,recommends warm
water (or herbal tea) with a squeeze of lemon and a bit of honey mixed
in. This will soothe your vocal cords while giving you hydration. You can
drink this anytime, the night before aperformance,or before singing to
fight vocal strains, while honey also is preventative for sore throats. Just
don’t go overboard with the honey.

4. 4. Practice Vocal Warm-ups
One thing that all Vocalists agree on is the importance of warming up your voice
before singing, to keep yourself healthy, protect against damage, and sing better.
It’s also a good idea to warm down when you’ve finished singing.
Think of it like going to the gym. You need to start by getting your muscles and all
moving parts loose and ready to move. Using your larynx is similar in that the
folds of your vocal cords and all the tiny muscles which control your singing need
a warm-up routine before doing any heavy work.
Grammy-winning Voice Professor Donna McElroy describes the importance of
building strength and endurance in all the areas of musculature in her instruction
books and exercises, while offering warm-up routines.
One exercise has the student humming while singing up and down a simple part of
a scale, moving up and down in key.
Others include performing lip-rolls (buzzing the lips while humming), tongue trills,
humming through a straw, pitch glides, and singing on syllables such as “oooo”
while singing from low to high and back, like a siren.
These can also be done after singing to “warm down.” We might more
appropriately call this “cooling down” and you will see runners and athletes doing
this after heavy exertion. It gives all the tissues a chance to recover and relax, and
it’s a good practice for Singers as well.
All of these same warm-ups can be used to cool down after singing. It’s crucial to
relax, recover, and reflect after singing, so don’t neglect warming up or down
before and after you sing.
5. Understand Your Vocal Range
In classical music, the various ranges are described (from high to low) as soprano,
alto, tenor, and bass, sometimes abbreviated as SATB in vocal arrangements.
Baritone overlaps bass and tenor, and the tessitura for baritone (the most

5. acceptable and comfortable vocal range for a given Singer) is higher than bass but
lower than tenor.
Most men are basses, baritones, or tenors, while most women are altos and
sopranos. The lowest female classical voice type is called a contralto. It’s not hard
to figure out your range by experimenting with notes and paying attention to where
it becomes difficult to sing at the extremes of high and low. Make sure you are
warmed up and be careful not to strain your voice.
According to professional Musician and Vocalist Amanda Carr, “I try not to get
caught up in the names of ranges such as ‘I am a soprano…or I am a baritone’ at
least in musical genres outside of classical. I look at each individual song and find
where the best median focal point is for the voice; where in the vocal range in the
song is best served by way of timbre, tone, vocal strength, control, and
consistency. Understanding that will allow a Singer to be conscious of their range
and where within that they are generally at their best in every and any situation.”
6. Know How to Improve Your Pitch
We often hear about “tone-deafness,” meaning the difficulty to recognize and
match a pitch you hear. While there are some unfortunate souls who just cannot
match pitch, this condition is truly very rare.
Having taught ear-training (solfege, sight-singing) to students for decades, I’ve
almost never encountered anyone who truly couldn’t match pitch. What is true is
that some people have more difficulty than others, but if they make the effort and
put in the practice time, they will ultimately be able to do it.
I’ve also found that there are some great Teachers out there who specialize in
helping students to improve their intonation (singing “in-tune”).
One technique I’ve used is to play a note on the piano to match the note the student
is singing. Then, try to have the student adjust it up or down in small increments,
and eventually progress to singing larger intervals.
It might also help to play a chord and have the student match any one of the notes
in the chord with their voice. Then move the chord up or down in half-steps to see
if the student can follow the direction with their voice.

6. An interesting discovery for me was that everyone hears pitch slightly differently,
so what sounds in-tune for one person might not for another. There are some great
Singers who don’t always sing perfectly “in-tune.”
7. Study the Greats
A great piece of advice I received when I went to music school was to not only
listen to the musicians I admire, but to study their influences.
I recently read John Fogerty’s autobiography (Singer, Guitarist, and Songwriter
from Creedence Clearwater Revival) and read his chapter on his influences with
great interest. I even went on YouTube to look up the artists and specific tracks
mentioned in his book. I wanted to understand what he was listening to when he
wrote and performed great songs such as “Proud Mary.”
It’s fine to emulate the artists you love, and to let them influence your own singing.
Of course, you should be analyzing what makes them so great, and digging deep to
understand why their work is so special.
But don’t neglect to listen and analyze THEIR influences as well, since it will give
you an even deeper insight into how they became so accomplished. Listen for
technique but also pay attention to the nuances of diction, phrasing, tone, and style,
and try to figure out where it came from.
