Welcome to singing lesson nr. 1.
It is important to warm up your voice before you start to sing, especially if you are going to sing for a long time or maybe are trying out some new techniques. Once your singing muscles are warm, they will begin to function at their best. The warm-up of your voice also prevents damages such as swelling, nodules and cysts on your vocal cords. If you stick to warm-ups before you start to sing I’m sure you will eventually remove the vocal tension that makes your singing so uncomfortable.
First try to sing this exercise on the letter Rrr. It’s not very easy to do this in the beginning but if you try to sing this exercise every day I’m sure you will find it easier. If you think this exercise is too easy then just switch to singing on Bbb instead. Remember to do this exercise soft and gentle, ‘cause it’s only a warm-up. To succeed with this exercise you need a lot of air and a good flow.

The basis for good singing technique is to get a good relaxation and balance in the whole body and to have a good attitude and control of your breathing. The controlled breathing reduces strain on the vocal cords. The muscles used in the control of breathing requires that the body is in balance from head to toe. Lets begin from the bottom:
1. Swing back and forth on your feet to find an even distribution of your body weight. Make sure that you have enough space between your feet.
2. Observe your knees. Beware of over-stretched knees! The tension from your knees goes directly up to you back and then further on to your instrument.
3. Shake your hips to make sure they’re not strained in any way. Try to find a location of your hips that gives you a straight line through the whole body.
4. Lift the shoulders as high as possible and drop back down. Make sure your shoulders are relaxed and in a low position.
5. Give yourself a "proud" chest where the lungs have enough space to work.
6. Stretch out your neck in a fine line.
Good luck with exercise nr 2, and don’t forget that a mirror really can help you when working on a good posture!

Welcome to singing lesson nr 3.
In singing lesson nr 2 we talked about that the basis for good singing technique is to get a good relaxation and balance in the whole body and to have a good attitude and control of your breathing. The controlled breathing reduces strain on the vocal cords and that is why it is so important to control your breathing. The muscle that helps you in breathing correctly is called "diaphragm". Your diaphragm helps you to inhale correctly by expanding towards your viscera which gives more space for the lungs. (That is why you can feel that you are thicker around the stomach when you inhale). When you exhale, this muscle decreases the tension and goes up to its relaxed position again.
Inhale and let your stomach get thick and relaxed. Start to sing exercise nr 3 "I am going home" and remember not to breathe in the middle of this exercise. The goal is to be able to sing the phrase "I am going home" twice before breathing again. It can be a little hard in the beginning but if you try this a few times I’m sure you will find it easier soon! Don’t forget to use a good posture while practicing.
Good Luck!

Welcome to singing lesson nr 4.
Now that you start to understand the body's impact on sang and singing technique, it is time to start singing with the support. Have you ever heard that you should sing with your stomach or support? That's right! When you are singing, it is important that power comes from the muscles around the abdomen and not your throat. If you forget to sing with support, it is easy to get injured and become hoarse.
When you sing exercise number 4, you should focus on your support. Your stomach should be drawn in and then out again for each "ha". It is important that you have time to relax your stomach between each "ha". The whole exercise will be very bouncy and full of energy. It can be difficult to get a perfect pitch for all "ha" but it is ok if it sounds crazy sometimes. The important thing is that you become aware of how your use your support.
Good Luck!

Welcome to singing lesson nr 5.
Many people have a favorite part of his voice. For some, it feels best to sing in his low voice, while others prefer their bright voice. We will go work with both voices here on karaokeparty.com but we start with your dark voice. To be able to sing really low you need to have good control of your singing support. But make sure you do not push down the voice in a low position. There’s no need to force down your voice lower than what feels comfortable. You’ll know pretty fast if it’s wrong, ‘cause it won’t feel good. To come down really low, you may want to sing with a smile on your lips. Besides your face looking gorgeous , it also does miracles with your sound. The words you sing in your low register will become much clearer if you sing it with a smile, and you will also have e a completely different sound! We will work with emplacements of sounds lessons to come.
Good Luck with exercise nr 5 and don’t forget that the more you practice the better you will sound!
