Ten Things You Should Do To Improve Your Singing Voice

Do you want to improve your singing voice? Then follow the ten proven tips below.


  1. Practice, practice, practice. If you really want to improve your singing voice then you have to sing, sing and sing. Developing your voice is like developing your muscles You need to “workout.” Sing in a karaoke bar, in the shower or wherever you feel like singing.

  2. Pay attention on your breath. Proper breathing is a very important element of singing. If you are not breathing properly then you will not be able to hit the notes right. Keep in mind that you should be breathing from your stomach and not from your chest. This is to make sure that your breathing is being supported by your diaphragm which is stronger than the muscles between your rib cage.

  3. Don't be tense. Any kind of tension from your body will definitely affect the sound that you will produce. This is the reason why you need to be as relaxed as possible everytime you are singing.

  4. Put your tongue and your soft palate in the right place. Many people do not know where to put their tongue and their soft palate everytime they sing. The tip of your tongue should be placed at the back of your teeth to keep it from blocking your throat while your soft palate should be be raised to give more resonance to your voice.

  5. Proper posture is important. If you have a tendency to slouch then you will definitely have problems with singing. The air should travel from your lungs to your mouth on a straight line as much as possible and this will only be achieved if your posture is correct.

  6. Drink only water before a performance. If you have a performance coming up, then avoid drinking anything but water for at least three days before the big day.

  7. Don't forget to warm up before singing. Earlier, practicing to sing is compared to working out. In the same way that you have to warm up your body before a strenuous exercise, you should also warm up before you sing.

  8. Be confident with your voice. Self-confidence does a lot to improve the performance of any singer. Be confident with your singing voice, it probably is much better than you think.

  9. Pay attention to your body when you sing. Do you feel any pain at some parts of your body everytime you sing? Then that could only mean two things, you are at the limit of your range or you are doing something wrong. Just try to sing songs that you can sing without straining yourself. And if you have a health problem such as a sore throat, then refrain from singing or you could make your condition worse.

  10. Get a singing coach. If you want to improve on any skill you need to consult with an expert on the subject. If you have the means, then get a singing teacher or coach that can help you develop your singing voice. A more affordable alternative is to get a home course on singing that can be easily bought online.
