Any Effective Vocal Exercises For Singing?
here’s the deal…I was going to get voice lessons, but my mom backed out because they were too expensive. I need to smooth out my voice, increase my range, and be LOUDER. Because I have a really quiet voice. There’s a community talent show comming up….and there will be important people there, and i want to sound really good because this is my dream, i would do anything to sing on a stage every night. Do you know any really effective vocal exercises? Or breathing exercises?
Check out my answer on this question:

All I can say besides this is to be ‘louder’ does NOT mean scream or push your voice. That will only damage your vocal chords, and…*scary thought….you may lose/damage your voice permanently! :’( Not good. So to do it the right way, you have to work on improving your projection skills, and it’s always easier to practice this in a church; large, acoustic auditorium/gym; or performance hall that has nice acoustics. This way you’ll know if you can project enough w/out a microphone to be heard in a large room, because you’ll hear the echos and things!
Good luck!! Hope you do well in the show!!!!!!

what are some good singing tips or exercises?
yeh how can ya get rid of the break in voice when going for the high notes? or could you tell me some good warm up exercises?
Breathe deeply from your stomach. If you don’t know how I will tell you.
If you breathe in from your chest it causes your voice to be lighter. It makes your heart beat faster and it does not relax you.
When you breathe in make sure your shoulders don’t go up. Sing from your diaphragm and your trachea. It will add more emotion to your singing voice and make you sound a lot better. Hope I helped(:
What are some warm-up exercises before singing?
I find that I usually have to sing the song a couple times before getting it to sound right. (Even if I’ve sung the song many times before).
What are some warm-ups I can do to eliminate this problem?
Back when I was in Chamber Choir, we would usually sing 5 note runs to warm up. This just means singing a pentatonic scale, increasing by a note every time. For example, begin on C, sing C-D-E-F-G-F-E-D-C. Then moving to D-E-F-G-A-G-F-E-D… etc. Then doing the same in the opposite direction to work our lower registers. It also never hurts to sing the song you are going to perform before you go on stage. Just don’t over do it because you don’t want to wear yourself out.
