As a person who has taken singing lessons since the age of 6, I can say that learning to sing is not an easy thing. It takes perseverance, discipline, but above all, a desire to learn and a love for music. Today, I want to give you a few tips and advice that helped me improve and enjoy this path as a singer.
First, learn to vocalize. On YouTube, there are thousands of videos of simple vocalizations for beginners. Vocalization will help you warm up your voice and also reduce the risk of injuring your vocal cords. Always keep this in mind: a 10-minute vocalization session is better than nothing.
Also, you can sing your favorite songs, as long as you feel comfortable doing so. Learning to vocalize, you will learn that you should not feel even a little pain in your throat when singing, since it is a sign that you are doing something wrong, or that you are forcing your voice a lot. I do not recommend that you go directly to Whitney Houston or Adam Lambert. You will reach them with perseverance and patience. Start looking for songs in which you sing and don’t feel any kind of discomfort in your throat. Practice those songs, and little by little, go looking for a slightly more challenging one so that you can improve.
Furthermore, don’t forget to enjoy the process. It will be long and you will need a lot of patience. That’s why I recommend that you take it easy and enjoy the music. Sing with passion, with emotion, get into the role or in the history of the song and you will see that it will be the funniest way and it will motivate you to keep learning more.
This path needs perseverance, discipline, and patience, but above all, a love of music. Music is life, and knowing that you can create music with your voice makes life even more incredible.
