Five practices to do that can help you become a better singer at home, church, school or anywhere…

• Breathing
• Diction
• Posture
• Taking Criticism
• Improvement

A person should be straight (erect) when singing. Air flows better and they are more vibrant. If they are sitting the back should not be slouching. Instead leaning a little forward help improve the singing. You want to do these this so it can help your breathing.

Breathing is the most important part to singing. And to help, a person should take at least 10-15 minutes a day practicing long deep breathing. Pulling the air from your diaphragm helps to build your voice, gives you voice resonance and voice control. 

Pronounciations of the words too are also important. There are Artist out there who sings well but because there words can’t be understood it makes the song meaningless. Diction means correct pronunciation, clear enunciation and distinct articulation. Correct pronunciation is the proper utterance of words in relation to its sound, tone and phonics. Clear enunciation is the clarity and texture of your voice while pronouncing. Articulation is the form of speech with distinct words, syllables, vowels and consonants and accent.

With all these said, Breathing, posture, dictation; we need to remember that were not going to master it all the first time we try. You are going to get feedbacks weather you like it or not, and let me tell you, you may not like it. But don’t get discourage. Listen to what your critics have to say and see if they’re right. Record yourself and listen to your singing. Take the Criticism as a mean of encouraging and improving yourself and singing.  

Remember…Practice Makes Perfect!
