Everyone has their own talents. Someone writes poetry, someone can prepare a wonderful dinner with the simplest products, and someone can sing beautifully. As for the latter, it can be said that some are able to sing beautifully from birth, and someone had to make a lot of effort so that the voice becomes sonorous and pleasant. Voice exercises are numerous. In general, it is worth noting that they should be taken seriously and those who sing well on their own, and those who want to make their voice good. There is no limit to perfection in singing. People have been doing the same exercises for voice over the years. Of course, in some, the result is always more noticeable than in others.
To learn to sing, you have to go a long way. Yes, the help of professional vocal teachers is priceless, but you can do it at home. Exercises for voice, as mentioned above, are numerous. In this article, the most basic ones will be given. Those that will help you learn how to take breath, articulate, get into notes, hear yourself, and also sing expressively.
Exercises for voice: how to breathe
Understand that you do not need to breathe in, but with your stomach. What does this mean? Yes, the fact that during inhalation the stomach is inflated, and the chest remains motionless. It is also worth breathing air during a conversation, especially when you need to make some long and important speech.
Practice breathing properly. If you do not learn, then during singing you will simply suffocate. Stand against the wall, inhale as described above. It is advisable to put your hand on your stomach. This will give you the opportunity to control yourself. Quick breath and slow exhale. Then vice versa. Do this until you learn to fully control your breathing.
Exercises for voice: articulation
Before considering specific exercises for the voice, I want to say a few words about articulation. She is very important. Do not be afraid to open your mouth while singing. No fly will fly there - so be sure of it. Singing with a covered mouth indicates that a person is either shy or does not understand anything about singing.
Learn to listen to yourself. It is clear that we do not hear our voice as it really is. It's not a problem. Close your ears and sing something. This is how your voice actually sounds. Singing with your ears closed allows you to not only hear your voice, but also to identify flaws.
Singing scales is a great exercise for voice. Of course, it is desirable that a person knows at least some notes, musical notation, but in principle the absence of such knowledge is not a big disaster. Gammas do not have to be sung by notes. You can sing on a syllable (lu, le, yes, ri and so on). Sing expressively. Make a crescendo (sing louder) in the places you want to highlight. Singing akapelno means singing without music. Take any melody and sing it with words. Then sing it dropwise. Identify the most emotional moments and try to highlight them intonationally.
In addition to singing scales, you can recommend singing chords. It makes no sense now to paint how they are built. You will surely find all the necessary information in the books on vocals. You will also find numerous chants that will help to “rock” the voice before singing. Chants are great exercises for developing your voice.
Singing using resonators will help to develop it. We have two of them: chest and head. Take in some air and try some low note. Try to do everything so that vibration appears in the chest. This turned on the thoracic resonator. Now take a high note. If there is a vibration just above the eyebrows? If so, the head resonator is turned on. Resonators help make the sound stronger and richer. The voice grows stronger with them.
