How Can You Become a Good Singer Without Lessons?

While singing does require a lot of practice, it is not at all essential to get lessons for the same. Here are some useful tips to help you become a good singer without lessons.

It is a myth that all good singers are naturally gifted. These professional singers have done a lot of practice and hard work to reach their level of skill. They still practice every day to maintain mastery of this skill. Not all of them, however, had access to singing lessons growing up. Many singers had humble beginnings and could not spend a lot on expensive singing lessons. This shows that it is possible to learn and become a good singer without singing lessons.

People who dream of getting singer jobs in Bollywood should know that if you are good at your skills, you will definitely land some singer job openings. To develop your skills, you only need to follow these guidelines.

• While practicing, sing for short sessions multiple times in a day, especially in the beginning. You must do this every day if you want to become a singer. The more you practice, the faster you will become better. But sessions must not last longer than 10-15 minutes. Do not strain your voice. Also, avoid bad practices because they stick and hard to get rid of later. Write down, in a journal, your experiences and your areas of improvement.

• Record your singing. There are various apps for this. Recording is important because your voice sounds different inside your head than it does to others. Listen and analyze your recordings. Notice the notes that are off or are out of tune. Does your voice sound squeaky in the high notes? Also, notice the timing and the effect. Try to improve the shortcomings in the next session.

• Warm-up your voice before starting your singing session. Warming up is important because, without it, your voice sounds rustier, and you could possibly cause harm to your vocal cords. Warming up will put you in more control of your voice and help with transitions and increase your range. To warm up, go up and down the scales for some time. Free your tongue by speaking a tongue twister and make sure that you repeat a few times. While warming up, warm your body, too, in addition to your vocal cords. Stretch your shoulders, neck, back, jaw because these areas hold tension, which is hard to notice.

• Relax your throat. This will help you reach a better tone and improve your range. It also relaxes your larynx, an organ that houses your vocal cords.

• Relax your tongue: most beginners focus only on the vocal cords, but your tongue can also create limitations on your singing. Usually, a tight base of the tongue makes the voice sound tense and unnatural. Try to place your tongue such that the tip of the tongue touches the bottom teeth. Stretch out your tongue a few times and make sound with your chords. This helps before you start to sing.

• Remember that while singing, most of your breath must be from the diaphragm. This is different from the usual breathing. Take deep breaths from your lower lungs. Release all tension from the body. Inhale to the full capacity of your lungs and exhale all the air out of the lungs. Use both your mouth and nose to exhale. Relax your shoulders too.

As long as you follow these basic tips, you will be better with time. If you are looking for singer job vacancies, these tips will be helpful.
