Find your singing range

When you start singing you will want to know what
your singing range is. This is simply the highest and
lowest notes you can sing. Knowing what your
range is will help you to find songs that suit your
voice. The bbc have a great resource to help you
with that here.
Make recordings of yourself singing
What you hear when you are singing is not what
other people here. This is because when you sing/or
talk, your ear is stimulated by the internal vibrations
from the bones in your neck and your head and this
will lead your to think your voice is a bit deeper than
it actually is. Most people who hear a recording of
them talking or singing for the first time are a little
shocked because their voice is a couple of notes
higher than they thought it was. Listening to yourself
sing is a good way to objectively judge your singing
so you know what areas you need to improve.
The best way to accelerate your singing ability to get
some tuition. A singing coach will be able to teach
you how to perform the different singing exercises
properly and lay-out a clear plan for you to follow so
you make progress a lot quicker than if you are
learning on your own. The best choice is to get a
good private singing teacher as they can offer you
immediate feedback and tailor make the lessons for
your needs. It is not always cost effective and
convenient to hire a coach so the next best choice
would be one of the singing programs there are
available to download onto your computer. Some of
these are taught by world class singing coaches
who have taught some of the top singing stars and
feature a step-by-step plan to bring beginners up to
advanced level singers.
Practice
Perhaps the most important singing tip is the last on
the list. The more you practice the quicker you will
improve and you will find that the more you put in the
more you get out. Making singing practice a habit is
what is going to give you the voice you want in the
long term!
