It doesn’t matter what style you sing, these 4 tips will still work, as they deal with the basic technique of singing, and if you get these right, you should improve your voice, no matter the style or grnre. So, lets get started on our journey of how to sing better using these tips and techniques.

4 Tips To Better Singing

Tip 1 – Posture

Our first tip talks about correct posture. Basically, you want to be standing with your back straight and your shoulders relaxed. There should be no tension anywhere in your body. Be careful not to stand with a sway back or with your shoulders slumped forward.

If you like to sing sitting down sometimes as well, make sure that you sit up with a straight back. There should be no slouching or leaning forward as it will make it much more difficult to support properly (which we will get to later).

Tip 2 – Breathing

When you breathe in preparation for singing, you need to take a 360 degree breath. Stand up and put your hands on your waste. When you take a deep breath, you should feel your waste expand in an outward direction. If you don’t, you maybe shallow breathing, which will not give you enough support for singing. As you breathe, your chest must stay still. If it rises, then you are breathing incorrectly.

Tip 3 – Support

This is the foundation of singing. Basically, correct support is like holding your breath and trying to exhale at the same time i.e. the opposing sets of breathing muscles are exerted at the same time. This collision of these breathing muscles closes the vocal chords by reflex action. This is nature’s way of singing.

To support properly, take a breath, then as you start singing, pull up or lift the abdominal bulk in an upward direction and sustain this as long as you are making sound. This can take some getting used to, but it is well worth the effort, because if you get this right, you will go along way to avoiding vocal damage and you will keep your voice in good shape as you get older.

Tip 4 – Keep The Jaw Relaxed

If you sing with a tight jaw, you will cutoff space in your vocal resonating chambers, which will reduce the quality of your vocal tone and power. When you sing, your jaw should swing down and slightly backward and be relaxed. If it is pulling forward when you sing, then it will be tightening and cutting of room in your throat.

For some people, the jaw may not move slightly back, but that is OK. Remember this – “the condition of the jaw is more important than the position of the jaw”. Keep that jaw relaxed. This is in fact on of the 3 biggest mistakes that singers make.
