A Few Simple Vocal Exercises For Improving Your Singing
Exercising your throat regularly is important for improving your voice regardless of where you want to use your skills in a karaoke bar, church choir or on stage. It is not true that only beginners need singing lessons accomplished singers and natural singers need them as well. The following vocal exercises will help you to hone your skills.
Always start with warm up exercises to condition the throat for more strenuous activity. Both voice related and breathing exercises should form a part of your warm-up session. To begin with take a deep breath. This can be done by inhaling deeply and holding your breath to the count of four and then exhale, once again hold to the count of four before breathing in again. Another exercise involves inhaling normally but when you exhale do it on the sound of ’sshh’, like you are asking a kid to keep quiet. Use your entire breath to make the sound and once you have let out all the air relax and breathe normally. Do this exercise 5 times.
The breathing exercises should be followed by vocal exercises that will condition the throat muscles and vocal chords. Start with the first exercise called motorboat where you will make a sound like a motorboat. Make the sound by putting your lips together and exhale to make the sound by flapping your lips. This exercise is used to loosen the vocal chord and condition the throat muscles. After you have done the exercise for some time try to vary the notes while making the sound.
In the second exercise start b singing the notes of the mid range octave and once you are comfortable sing the notes in the ascending and descending order. Use a vowel sound like ‘aah’ and start singing from the lower notes going higher and then coming down again.
To conclude do some cool down exercises. It is important that you always remember to finish with the cool down exercises. After you exercise your throat the blood flow to the larynx increases. The blood accumulated in the larynx will stay there if you don’t do the vocal cool down exercises causing swelling in the vocal chord. If you try to speak in this condition there are string chances that you may damage the vocal chord. This makes vocal cool down exercises crucial and a good exercise is gently humming at a lazy pace.
