How Can I Teach Myself To Sing

By Delany Kuijstermans


Many people ask themselves 'how can I teach myself to sing?' as the cost and time associated with learning from a professional instructor is horrendous not to mention the scrutiny you must learn under. How then can you teach yourself such a complex skill to a degree that can make people sit up and listen when you break out in song? Well with the wealth of resources on the internet and a few tips you can easily better your voice.Firstly there are a few things you can do yourself that will help you develop a good singing voice and expend your range.

I just practiced correct diaphragm breathing a few minutes per day and it made all the difference in the world with my singing. Try this to help yourself learn to sing fast.You can also go to the mirror right now and look at your soft palate. What is that? Well, it's the little piece of skin hanging down in the back of your throat. Just try to move it so it opens more and allows more air to flow. That will make your notes sound so much better and you won't believe the decline in straining your throat during the process.

Emote While technical skills are vital if you cannot move people with your voice you are not much of a singer. When singing even practicing be emotive, use your whole body and face and limbs to show the emotions you are feeling when you are singing the song. A singer who cannot bring emotion into their voice is like a flame without any heat, it fulfils one criteria but it is not complete.

So just these two things will help you to learn to sing fast. Practice them just a few times a day and you'll be on your way. People just don't have the proper technique most of the time. That's the problem. Just a little education goes a long way in singing just like anything else in life.

While there are a great many things more than this you can do to learn singing by yourself these is a good start. Then comes the hard bit, the technical skills and training yourself to find the correct pitch and tone and many other detailed and complicated aspects of singing. To teach yourself to sing you now need resources and lucky for you the internet is a great place for these things. How can I teach myself to sing online you ask? Well you could trawl through YouTube and various websites but there are an abundance of professional courses out there you can download that give you an amazing wealth of skills that you can use from your own home. Using teach yourself singing software is the only way to get past a certain level of singing you can learn yourself without these resources.

Jazz is one genre of music that allow singers the freedom to develop a unique sound and express themselves through improvisation. If you have not heard so already, there are some great jazz singers who possess a magical voice that is just so identifiable when you hear them on the radio or on a CD, e.g Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole to name but a few. If indeed you are interested in becoming the next Ella or Frank, where can you learn to sing jazz?

It is usually best to start looking for a singing teacher in your local area. Of course, there will be some who are primarily classical singers, but if you look around in a bit of detail you will definitely find some who teach jazz, pop and/or musical theatre. Here are some suggestions...

Ask your friends or family if they know a vocalist in your area, or even a musician. As singers almost always work with other musicians, you may find someone through a pianist, guitarist or violinist. I found an amazing jazz pianist through a saxophonist I knew a couple of years ago. Don't underestimate this approach as through a personal recommendation you can potentially find an excellent singing teacher.Check to see if there are any live jazz bands in your area with a vocalist, and go to one of their gigs. If you like his or her voice, why not ask if they offer lessons? If they say no, ask if they know someone else?

Even some of the most famous singers in the world have had to practice, their voices needing some improvements in one way or another, to get to where they are at the top. And many of the noted singers have had to take singing lessons at some point in their careers. Online singing lessons are the next best thing to a vocal coach. Why? Because in an online setting you will come to know that the answer to the question, can I learn to sing is yes, and you can learn how to sing at your own pace.Online singing programs are some of the best and the easiest systems available to learn how to sing at a professional level. One or more of them come jam-packed with quality information, interactive audio lessons, e-books, and are just fun learning software to own and to use.

If you still cannot find an experienced jazz singer in your area, then you may have to be prepared to travel further to find one. Just by using the internet you can find various sites and directories of qualified vocalists who specialise singing in jazz, pop and/or musical theatre e.g. Vocaltutor.I hope some of these suggestions will lead to you finding a good teacher who can really teach you how to become an accomplished jazz singer. Good luck!
