Sing... that's all.

You want some free, and almost painless training? Join a choir.

Practice abdominal breathing. In order for your voice to sound rich, and to project, you need to sing from your belly, not your throat.

Haven't checked this out in depth, but I think that this site may have some possibilities for you!

Stage/practice time is good. Don't overdo it (hurt your voice), but the more you sing, the better you'll perform. If you are like me - not a 'natural' singer - it can also help your confidence to sing a lot.

what type of music do you plan on singing. there is a big difference in screamo hardcore bands and the church choir
all singing tho takes good suported breathing. think of your ovaries (if you have any) as lungs and breathe deep filling them up with air. or thats how i think of it
also don't use your throat- ever- its a really ugly sound you'll make. and don't go Nasal- EW- thats my total pet peeve..... Mad

Don't try to sound like something you're not. Example: if you're singing a song by, say, Maroon 5, do not try to imitate his singing style. You will never improve as a singer that way. Of course, the best advice (which I have surprisingly not found on this forum) is to have fun. Sing stuff you like. You'll never sound good if you don't like what you're singing. I stunk when I sang that song "So this is Cristmas... War is over..." song, whatever it's called. Sappy sap sap sap. All over. And give it your all. Really let go.

Be confident, and know what you're singing!!
Concentrate on what you are doing, and if you perform in front of an audience remember they are not there to see you fail!!!

What an interesting thread.

I go to clubs and groups entertaining as a "performance poet". Many of my poems I've put to tunes and so I have to sing them (fortunately they're comedy songs).

Although I'm a woman, to give you an idea of my voice, does anyone remember Alan Sherman of Hello Mudda Hello Father fame?

I've produced a CD of my work and I was told that my speaking voice is ALMOST good enough to make up for my singing voice!

Tarah, I do remember Allan Sherman - my parents had his album "My Son, the Nut" and we played it often. It included Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh as well as "Eight Foot Two, Solid Blue (Has Anybody Seen My Gal?)" and "You're Getting to Be a Rabbit with Me". Very funny stuff.

How long have you been a performance poet?

Tarah, my dad bought us that album when we were kids...I can't tell you how many time I listened to it Laughing

Hi Mac and hello again, colorbook.

I've been performing my poetry for about 3 years. I started with only writing poems but then started changed the words to songs. I was so nervous the first time I sang in front of a group but now I've even sung on the radio and it doesn't bother me at all.

I'm sure my breathing is wrong and I'm prone to going off-key but so long as the audience has fun that's all that matters.

proper breathing is the most important thing you can have. It is what makes a voice sound the way it sounds. Don't force vibrato. I hate hate hate that. If you don't have it naturally, you shouldn't make it.

I always carry some altoids in my pocket for when my throat feels a little scratchy. When singing a song with different tempos i.e. Girl, you'll be a woman soon, sing a little highter than you normally would. My normal baritone can't hack it for a fast tempo.

Take air in through your nose, but close the nose off for round tones,when exhaling. Go into a closet, or bathroom. and sing the scales over and over. eschew the vocal acrobatics, concentrate on tone and timing.
