5 Tips to Modulate Your Voice and Sing Well

A good singer has to learn to modulate his/her voice to have maximum effect on the audience. For this purpose, certain aspects of singing have to be considered. Let me give you 5 major tips which will help in effective singing.

1. Breathing from the diaphragm is a basic requisite for clear and complete singing. Do not move your shoulders while breathing. Instead, pretend you are filling your stomach with air and breathe deeply. This will make your voice powerful, your sound fuller and you will hit the notes correctly and hold it. Breathing from just above your chest upwards may be enough for talking, but not enough for holding a singing note.

2. Shouting, screaming, talking too much, drinking cold water or alcohol before a performance are a big NO, NO and it is better to drop such habits if you want to remain a good singer.

3. You would have noticed athletes and game players going through a warming up session before their actual game. This is to loosen the joints and to prevent injury. Similarly, all aspiring singers should do a warm up singing exercise of both the high and low register before a performance. This is to remove blockages in the throat and any scratches caused by blockages.

4. Plan your singing well. The whole song should not be sung at the same speed and volume throughout. The crescendo, the low register, the tempo and rhythm should match the dynamics of the song. Try to get the feel/dynamics of the song correctly by understanding the lyrics of the song. This will help you to reach the audience more effectively and prevent straining the throat.

5. Finally, for a successful performance the audience has to understand and empathize with what you are trying to emote through your singing. Take care of your posture, be confident while singing and emote through facial expressions. Even if you are tense, cover it up by a confident stance.
