Singing is the act of producing sounds which are pleasant to the ear with the help of your lips based on a text. Below are 5 ways that can make one a good singer.
1.
Controlling Pitch
One of the most important aspects of
singing is getting your pitches under control. Singing off pitches, getting
carried away and loosing control on some notes are all considered loss of vocal
control. Once you get control over your voice, you begin to win the battle of
developing your best voice.
2.
Stay Original
Diana Hamilton, Mark Anim Yirenkyi, Joe Mettle, Kofi Kinaata, Fameye, Akwaboah, Cina Soul, etc each have
their unique vocal textures. Each singer must learn to stay original with the
voices they have. Know your vocal range and stay within, as well listen to
yourself. Use your ears along with your voice when singing, this will give you
a clearer picture of your strengths and shortcomings.
3.
Dynamics and Style
Singing every note and pitch very loud without
thinking about dynamics is a sign of unprofessionalism. A good singer doesn’t
smash into a song just like that, but finds a reasonable volume and style that
works for both the song and the vocal cords.
4.
Self Awareness
When you are consistently aware of your
singing voice, you will be well attuned to knowing if you are able to hit the
right notes, produce the right pitches and have a better idea as to how you
sound.
5.
Proper Breathing
Belly breathing is the best way for singers
to inhale and exhale whilst performing. Oxygen is inhaled through the nostrils
down to the diaphragm.
