How to learn to sing by yourself?
Many people sing to sing. We sing with our friends at the fire around the fire or gather at the festive table, sing along to our beloved singer, imagining that the comb is a microphone, purring the hit tunes under our noses, taking a shower. But only to love does not mean to be able. If you seriously decided to sing your hobby, you probably already asked the question "How to learn to sing on your own?"
Is it even possible to learn how to sing on your own?
Any singer with experience will tell you what to learnsinging yourself is very difficult: for the training of singing you need a teacher who will put your voice, will constantly monitor you and correct mistakes. It is difficult - but not impossible. If you are not going to conquer a big stage, then you can learn to sing on your own. Montserrat Caballe you do not eclipse, but the vocal data will improve.
The first important condition for learning to sing isear for music. Without hearing, learning to sing yourself will not work out - you just will not "get" into the right notes. But do not be in a hurry to get upset: it is difficult to find a person completely devoid of musical ear. Most likely, you have the "rudiments" of a musical ear, you just need to develop it.
The first stage of training - singing in unison
First you need to learn how to sing in unison. Unison is the simultaneous sounding of two (or more) sounds of the same height. Singing in unison means simultaneously playing with a note of one and the same height with someone.
It is best to start with one note, for example, the sound of a piano key or a guitar string.
It is unlikely that you will get the first time to get in unison, but do not stop trying. If it's hard for you to sing the sound in the right key, try mooing with your mouth closed.
Learning to immediately get into the right note, train with other notes in the range available to you.
Trying to expand the range at this stage and take too high or too low notes is not worth it - it is unlikely that you will get it, you can, on the contrary, harm your voice.
The second stage of training - learn not only to sing, but also to hear your own voice
Having learned to determine the pitch of the sound by ear and get into the desired key, you can proceed to the next stage.
If you do not have a teacher and you are tryinglearn to sing yourself, you have to imitate someone. Let it be one of your favorite singers who sings in the same key with you - you should be comfortable with it "to adjust".
Turn on the recording and try to sing along (again, in unison). But trying to adjust the second voice (singing in the third) is too early.
To learn how to sing alone, it is very importantbe able to hear yourself. Singing and simultaneously listening and deciding whether you sing correctly is rather difficult. Therefore, you will have to acquire sound recording equipment and record your singing, and then listen carefully to the recording several times.
On a note! Please note that your voice will seem to you like"stranger" is natural, we hear our voice "from within" not in the way that others perceive it. Be abstracted from the unusual sound and objectively evaluate your singing: did you get into the right notes? Do you sound beautiful?
To sing, you need to breathe properly
But singing is not just about getting into notes. For proper singing, breathing and articulation are very important. Singing breathing involves the lower ribs and diaphragm (the muscle separating the thoracic cavity from the abdominal). To sing, you need to observe a few seemingly simple, but strict rules.
The breath should be short, energetic, and the exhalation should be smooth.
In this case, breathing should be as natural as possible.
It is very important to control the depth of inspiration and the duration of exhalation, because the air collected during inspiration should be enough to just sing the phrase on exhalation.
Take your breath only through your nose, and breathe out through your mouth along with the sound.
How to achieve a clear sound when singing alone
In addition to breathing, it is necessary to develop diction andarticulation - you do not want to sing like you chew porridge? Old good patters will help you in this. They will help to put not only articulation, but also breathing.
Breathe in through your nose and say a patter in one breath.
Make sure that all sounds are pronounced clearly, paying special attention to the endings of words: they can not be "swallowed".
Do not try to talk at once at a fast pace, your priority is not speed, but clarity.
Articulation when singing is more clear, exaggerated than in ordinary conversation.
On a note! A lot of training and deciding what you have achievedcertain successes, you can try to sing to someone from relatives and friends - let them appreciate your progress. Do not be afraid of criticism: it will show you in which direction to move on.
A video lesson of independent singing: how to free a voice and achieve a beautiful sound
One of the main problems of a beginning vocalist -inability to free oneself from internal clamping of the voice. You imagine a clean and beautiful sound, but when you try to reproduce it, for some reason there is a block, the voice growls and breaks. How to get rid of this problem, you will learn by watching the video lesson for beginners and mastering the technique of emancipating the voice.
As you can see, learning to sing yourself is completelyreally, most importantly - perseverance and patience. Not every "homegrown" singer can become a star, but singing is guaranteed to cheer you up, help to fight stress, relax, get rid of complexes and believe in yourself - and that's already a lot!
