did not work and did absolutely nothing for your voice or singing?
Yes, it's frustrating!
But in this video, we are going to change that.
I am going to share 5 actionable tips to make your breath control exercises for singing
work for you so that you can progress every time you practice.
Stay tuned.
Hi and nice to see you.
If we haven't met yet, I am Katarina from How 2 Improve Singing.
If this is your first time here, don't forget to subscribe to my channel so that you don't
miss out on any pro tips about singing.
Let's dive into today's topic.
And if you stick to the very end, I will share a link so that you can download three effective
breathing exercises to make your voice more powerful. So, let's start.
The following 5 tips will turn your singing practice time into successful time.
If you follow these 5 tips (or at least some of them), you will make progress and improve
your singing every time you practice.
And it does not matter if you practice one of my exercises, an exercise given to you
by your vocal teacher or an exercise you've found on the internet.
It can be a breathing exercise or it can be a vocal exercise.
These tips will improve your chances to be successful.
Tip #1 Set a Goal Studies have shown that writing down your
goals has a significant effect on your success rate.
Make goals and progress visible in whatever way suits you best, whether it's a smartphone
app, a wall planner, a whiteboard or a diary.
Be sure to write them down and keep your goals where you can see them.
When goals are clear, focused and sequenced, they are more achievable.
Many people fail to reach their goal because they lose motivation.
It feels too hard or just too big, and they have no idea how to approach it.
You can avoid this by breaking down a big goal into smaller, more achievable steps.
The additional bonus of setting smaller goals is that you start to build a cycle of success
that will reinforce positive feedback loop and your confidence.
And that is what a singer needs!
Tip #2 Pursue Deep Understanding Singers, who understand how their voice and
body work, will have a huge advantage over those who play a guessing game.
This knowledge makes you an independent singer.
The ones who do not seek this knowledge will always be dependent on advice from someone
else. A vocal teacher or friend who know more than you.
If you know what your voice and body are doing during singing and breathing, you can figure out what exercise
will benefit you and how to achieve your goal.
This deep understanding will help you recognize why you are not making progress and what needs
to be adjusted to reach your goal.
This may sound like a daunting task but believe me, learning about your voice and body is
actually an easy process.
Another advantage of good knowledge of your body and voice is that you will be able to
recognize if an exercise is based on myths or facts.
There are so many myths about breathing and singing out there.
Examples of myth-based exercises are the ones that "strengthen the diaphragm" or exercises
that "use the diaphragm to support the sound".
These kinds of exercises will simply not work because they practice something that does
not exist.
Tip #3 Know the Why And How of Each Exercise Here are some questions you want to ask about
each exercise you do: Why am I doing this exercise?
What is the purpose of this exercise?
Is it helping me to achieve my goal?
If you don't know answers to these questions, don't waste your time doing that exercise.
Always make sure that you know how to do an exercise correctly.
Without this knowledge, you may well be developing wrong habits.
Ask yourself: What should it feel like when practicing this exercise?
What movements should be present and what movements are unnecessary?
How to perform this exercise most efficiently?
If you feel tension anywhere in your body, something is not right.
Tip #4 Ask Questions.
If you are not sure, ask questions.
It is better to know sooner, rather than later, to avoid practicing incorrect movements, then
having to re-learn the correct ones.
Ask people who you trust, don't look for answers from strangers on the internet.
There are a lot of nice people who willingly offer their advice on the public forums or
websites for singers.
But if you don't know their credentials, you may well be asking complete strangers
on the street.
Maybe you can ask your choir director, a vocal teacher, a more experienced singer or a trained
voice professional.
And you can always ask me, for example in the comments below.
When you are introduced to a new exercise, it may not make sense to you right away.
Give yourself time to explore the sensations associated with the movements.
Take time to explore the movements of your body.
Sometimes, you will need to be creative and look at a new skill from a different angle.
Different approaches work for different people.
Sometimes, we hear and understand instructions but the information may not "click" right
away.
Looking at an exercise from a different perspective or even using different words or explanations
can trigger the "aha moment".
Tip #5 Be Persistent and Practice Regularly Have you ever experienced this?
You find a new exercise and you get excited about its promise.
You practice regularly for a week and then your enthusiasm diminishes.
The new exercise is not new any more.
Now, you move onto a new one that excites you again.
Or you find millions of excuses why you don't practice.
Not having enough time is probably the most common excuse.
Who has time, right?
I am sure, I don't have to tell you that singing requires regular practice.
However, I also know that life happens and singing goes out the window any time something
"more important" comes up.
So, my advice to you is to schedule your practice.
Write down the exact days and times in your calendar and follow through.
Give yourself 15 minutes a day or 30 minutes every other day.
You cannot afford not to.
Bonus Tip: Learning to Sing Is a Process.
Good singing does not happen overnight (even if you have an amazing talent).
It takes time to improve and develop solid foundations that will give your voice power
and freedom.
Many singers ask me if they will have to think about breathing all the time when singing.
My answer is of course not.
When learning a new skill, you go through several phases.
The last phase happens when a movement becomes automatic and you do NOT need to focus on
it.
That's the singer's ultimate goal.
Just imagine: Singing without thinking about how to sing.
It's very possible.
So, these are my 5 tips that you can apply right now and make your next singing and breathing
practice successful.
In the comments below, let me know which of these 5 tips you are going to implement right now.
