Hi,
Today I am going to address the hidden mistake most amateur singers make.What I mean when I write "hidden" is that most amateur singers are often unconscious of this error. It has to do with the singing tone. In my last blog I wrote about intonation, or singing in tune. You want to sing in tune, to train your ears to be able to carry a tune. It goes without saying a good singer can carry a tune.
Today we are addressing your singing tone.
A good singer is not stuck in head voice where all the sound is emitting from the head and throat. A good singer incorporates unified registers of both head and chest voice, a blending of the resonators of the head and chest areas for a full and energetic tone.
This is especially true when singing in the oh-so-popular belting style that most pop and country, and of course, musical theatre singers sing in today.
So, don't rely only on your throat when you sing. Use your entire instrument. You are a wind instrument.
Toot your horn and don't hold back!
If you sing like a baby with a light head voice you are not doomed to that singing style alone.
Exercise your voice daily. Build your tone. Breath in and sustain your tone.
The art of "Bel canto" or the art of "beautiful singing" is based on diaphragmatic singing, or singing from your diaphragm.
In with the good air, out with the bad air!
Good singing also means articulating words in a way people can understand them, and using the larynx and pharynx in projecting your voice out. Sing out, don't strain, and you'll shine!
Keep Singing!
