Title says all.

Do you have any tips?

Something that doesn't involve joining anything.

Like good practice methods or something.

Re: How Could I Become A Better Singer?

Try to put emotion into your voice, enunciation is much more important than you think, instead of being loud try to make your voice carry (to think of it mentally, picture "expanding" your voice instead of making it louder), practice singing songs you know often (even humming it to yourself helps a bit).

I'm auditioning for Godspell right now so I also could use a few tips, but these are ones I try to remember.

Re: How Could I Become A Better Singer?

I guess humming and doing other stuff might help improve your voice, I don't know much about music so I'm just guessing. xP

Re: How Could I Become A Better Singer?

just sing often, it helps your voice develop so you can sing louder

Re: How Could I Become A Better Singer?

You have to practice to get good at anything, especially when it comes to music.

A guitar tuner with a mic on it helps, too.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: How Could I Become A Better Singer?

Also, tongue twisters help with enunciation.  Try saying "toy boat" as many times as you can without slipping up, that'll do wonders.

Look attractive, nobody will notice you sing like a chicken with whooping cough.

I want to argue on the ethics of that point, but unfortunately I have to agree.

Re: How Could I Become A Better Singer?

If you have a keyboard or piano try practicing while singing along to it. Kinda like this, that same account on Youtube has vids for many exercises of that kind. Good luck  wink

Re: How Could I Become A Better Singer?

Oh and here's an exercise that pretty much any singer or vocal teacher tries at a point.  tongue

Re: How Could I Become A Better Singer?

Sing along to the radio, and sing with your friends. You won't feel as self-conscious and will try harder. Plus, make sure you start off with songs that suit your voice (for me, it's Bruno Mars' Grenade, B.O.B.'s Airplanes, Tinie Tempah feat. Eric Turner's Written in the Stars - and other slow, low pitch songs) so if you have a high voice, start with high-pitched songs, and you can improve your vocal range from there.
