Can Anyone Learn To Sing

By David V. Rollins


Many people have aspirations of becoming a singer, but have no idea how to learn to sing. Whether it's to sing in a band, or the church choir, to win the prize on Karaoke night, or just to sound better in the shower, taking the time to learn how to sing with good technique will improve your results and keep your voice healthy and strong. Unfortunately, some people give up the notion of ever learning, because the task seems to daunting.Like most things however, if you take the time to break big or intimidating tasks down into manageable chunks, they can become less of an obstacle. So, if you've ever wanted to learn how to sing, but had no idea how to go about it, read on

Sure, some people are born with innately rich natural talent, but then again, not everyone aspires to be a professional Grammy-winning pop star! Normal, everyday people can learn to develop a pleasing and impressive singing voice with the proper training. Usually that's all most of us want--to not have to be afraid that we'll be asked to perform a karaoke song at a party, or to just be able to sing along with our favorite songs on the radio without straining.

Let me tell you a little story, a true story. Many years ago I was training to become a catholic priest (for personal reasons it didn't work out, but that's for another day) but during my time in the seminary a priest tutor told me I'd have to learn to sing. Now you'll have to take my word for it but my voice was like the mating call of a rusty file! To my surprise I did learn how to sing.

When you are part of any team, you have an opportunity to contribute to the group. One day, you may even have the opportunity to take part as a leader of some kind.Self-confidence.Many people are afraid of performing, or are nervous when people hear them sing. They do not know what they sound like and are uncertain of their ability. Once you have begun to work on your singing ability, you will gain confidence, develop a greater awareness of your ability, and know how to develop it.

Although utilizing a vocal coach is the best way to learn to sing, it's very expensive for most of us (usually around $50 to $200 an hour), and it's somewhat difficult to find a singing instructor who's truly good at teaching beginners how to sing.

Everyone wants to be able to sing, that's human nature. Being able to sing well enough to make a career out of it, takes some training even if you have raw natural talent. Yes, you can learn to become a great singer - you can train your voice just like you learn any instrument. You can become a singer of whatever level you desire with the right training, plenty of practice, and dedication to sticking to it.

There are many reasons for wanting to be able to sing. Some people just want to learn to sing well enough to not embarrass themselves on karaoke night with their friends. Some people just need to learn a special song for a Wedding or other special event. Some people have always thought they could sing, but want to pursue a higher level.

Do you wonder, "Can I learn to Sing rock music?" Do you have dreams of spandex and adoring fans? Are you a classically trained singer who wants to explore their edgy side? Do you just need some vocal practice to go with your mean air guitar? What ever your issue is, yes, you can learn to sing rock music.It isn't an uncommon question. With the amount of garbage that is on the radio these days many people find themselves wondering if they can be a rock singer. In fact, it is such a popular question that there is an entire industry that is begging to answer that question for you.

Your ability to learn to sing will not happen overnight, just as you were not able to learn to walk overnight. Some people were born with the natural ability to sing gracefully and on pitch. Other people were not so lucky, but that does not mean that they cannot learn. It just means that they need to work a little harder and be a little more determined to succeed. But Singing is so much fun, it shouldn't matter.Personal vocal training is the best way to learn if you can afford it. Online multimedia lessons are getting much better now, however, so even if you aren't able to afford private lessons - there is still hope. They can give you the feeling of a one-on-one training session at a huge discount from what a private vocal coach would charge.

A very important tip is to keep your voice within your vocal range. The quality of the voice is better than the hitting the high notes. Billie Holiday is a good example of successful singer with only an octave range.Mimicking your favorite singers is not a bad thing but having your own style of singing definitely makes you a better singer. The reason why pop stars became famous is that they usually have developed a unique style of singing. Aside from a unique style, you should also learn to breathe the right way and add dynamics to your singing.
