How To Sing For Beginners
Important Note: Before we get into it I want you to know this. The voice you’re born with is not the voice you’re stuck with. We are often told or think that the natural way we sound is all we have to work with. That’s not true. Like any muscle in your body you can train your voice to be stronger and work better. So don’t ever feel like you “can’t sing.” You just need to train. So what’s the best way? First, know what the important areas of your voice are (See the basics below). Then do exercises that train these areas regularly.
The Basics:

Chances are – you’ve already been singing a while (even if you don’t think you’re good). Here’s what you need to know. A beautiful sound comes down to control of these main areas:
- Breathing – there are 7 different ways you can breathe
- Pitch – are you in tune?
- Tone & Resonance – how does the character of your vocal sound?
- Vocal Muscles – vocal chords, diaphragm, larynx – strain vs. tension
- Power & Dynamics – How loud and soft are you able to project?
- Range – Can you hit high notes properly?
Vocal Sound Game Plan:

- Practice the breathing exercises above for at least 5-15 minutes in total daily
- Practice the vocal exercises above for 15-30 minutes daily for 1 week in your natural tone
- Next, do the vocal exercise in a specific musical scale (ex/ the C Major Scale) for 1 week
- Each week build your pitch by doing the exercises on additional scales – 1 new scale per week
- While you’re doing this, visit our blog to learn a new technique, method or exercise you can add to your repertoire
Scales:

There are 24 main music scales (major/minor) in total. That means do go through every scale will take you 24 weeks (assuming you do one per week.) After this (and through our blog) you’ll want to focus on specific areas of training your voice:
- Advanced Breath Control
- Harmony
- Pitch
- Tone and Resonance
- Endurance
- Projection
- Vibrato
- Falsetto (High-Notes)
- Specific Genres of Singing
You’ll want to spend at least a week focusing on each of those areas.

My Shortcut to Singing Success
There is really only one way to get better quickly – vocal lessons. But those can get super expensive. I’m not rich, and I wanted to learn from a pro (not some choir teacher or failed singer) – so a vocal coach or private lessons was out of the question. What’s the next best thing? 3 words – online singing lessons.
Why They Work So Well: These courses were perfect for someone like me – I needed to learn about pitch, control, breathing, tone, resonance, vibrato, high notes, endurance, projection and all that AT THE SAME TIME. I didn’t want to spend a year learning everything individually. And these types of lessons are structured in a way to speed up your learning by several months. They stack principles on each other and schedule things to help you learn at a faster pace than normal.

The Only Question Left – What to Pick?
My personal favorites are either Singing Success by Brett Manning or the Superior Singing Method by Aaron Anastasi.
My Results I first started with SSM because I didn’t have the extra cash. I literally started singing better after the first day. After the first week – it was a night and day difference. The entire course took a couple of months for me to finish and by the end of it I felt like I had new control over my voice. I could confidently do any song, in any key and even hit high notes properly. But That Wasn’t All. Shortly after I finished SSM, I decided to buy Brett Manning’s program (using their easy payment plan) – and honestly, I’m so glad I did. Most people would stop learning after one course, but I was hungry for more. And it truly helped me totally master my vocals. ***August 2014 Update: I have to mention something everyone needs to know about Singing Success after a reader of this blog pointed something very interesting about the program out to me. Read all about it in our review.

What It’ll Take To Learn to Sing
Improving does take practice, dedication/drive and some investment (time + money), but if you give it your all you will be amazed at the improvements you make in yourself. Remember, there is a lot more to being a singer than just opening your mouth and making sounds. It’s about your breathing, your posture, your pitch and tonal control. There’s a lot that goes into the beautiful sounds you hear on the radio and in you favorite music.
