vocal chords are muscles also,our lips are controlled by muscles,so the more you work them the tighter and looser they can be made to get,so singing in one tone or the same genre does not excersise them at all.\nget some vocal prep ideas from operatic sites,or singers,you may seek some background on mariah carey also,see if there is any prep ideas in her back ground

If you want to sing in a band, but are afraid of getting up in front of people, that's your first problem.  I had stage fright in elementary school, but got over it quickly once I started a band and now can get up in front of anyone and do my own thing.  But that's just me...\n\nI would suggest to you (if you think your voice is bad) to try singing on your own when you're in your house alone, and then maybe in front of a mirror (I guess it could be your audience...).  Then once you feel confident in your singing voice, go somewhere (like a karaoke bar) where nobody knows you (maybe a few towns away) and sing there, and see what response you get.  They'll either love you or they'll hate you, but either way, you probably won't have to see them again after that night.  Keep doing that (where I am there are places that have karaoke nights at least once a week) until you feel comfortable singing in front of family and friends.  That's the hardest part, because you actually care what they think.  But, after getting up in front of complete strangers and singing, you'll probably be ready to be in a band and get up onstage and sing there too.

Tips from American Idol. They do not use any dairy for a day before they have to sing. Then they have ice cream as  release after they sing. Before they sing they swallow 2 teaspoons of olive oil to lubricate throat.\n\nTo really improve your voice you need to use the foods suggested on this site for weight loss but they also remove the mucous causing the raspiness. Ideally  a mostly raw vegan diet gives you a huge advantage over everyone else.

your vibrato is a gift of controling your voice, many singers dont have this, but wish they did, it can help you ease into another key, or hold a note muCh longer. but dont use it in every word because you will sound like your singing into a fan lol, i am a vocal teacher, pro. singer, and dear friends with the keyboard player from match box 20, rob has vibrato if he wants to use it, so trust me this is a good thing . GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK!

Either stay with it the way you are and wait or do something that will help you get a solo.  What I am not sure.  I had a good voice too when I was young and alot of people say I still do but I am now old.  My friend, do not stop if you want to get ahead! Do what you must do to to where you want to go!

I have a stage fright problem myself, and have found that at least in my rhetoric abilitly that getting up and singing kareoke works for me... I know that if you have stage fright that it seems impossible at first, but in order to get up there you have several outs, you can be drunk, plastered, and even 3 sheets to the wind, but you also have the reassurance that almost everyone in there is just as hammered as you think that you will have to be to get up there.   try it and if that doesn't work, then there are support groups rhetoric classes, and even public forums, like anything else almost noone is born naturally great at it they have to practice.

I think any voice can be trained to sing well. However, it is the type of singing one has to examine. I have known many talented singers who were tremendous back ground singers or choir singers but were absolutely horrible at any 'lead' singing. I know also a lot of people who think they were born with a voice because people have told them they could sing when in fact they can't. But, one thing I know is that if someone is born with a voice and has the commanded pitch- well then that person can be successful. I think it is important that a lot of singers also realize that just because they can sing country music does not mean that they can sing on Broadway. Folks need to know their limits.

It takes alot of work and you have to already be able to sing soprano naturally.....i can hit them but it was after voice lessons, practice and training....if you want to hit those note i suggest you find a good vocal coach. it's not really something someone can teach you in this format

Scream a lot and whisper a lot. Those both stress your voice a ton. lol That's a funny question though! Good luck!

I dont have an answer for being nervous. I sang choir all through school and never got over being nervous. The advice I do have....lemon juice. It is very good for your voice. Keeps it crisp and clear.

that's good and normal... you've got your talent.. use that to make you and other people happy with your voice.. you have to believe that you can do sing and you have a beautiful voice.. well, you still can use your voice talent to collecting money.. you see, you can do anything with your voice.. you must be convidence with yourselve.. maybe one suggestion from me, go to the singing teacher or whatever it is, so you can improve your talent.. that's all..

k. going out for a walk at night isn't going to do diddly poop so don't listen to the people who wrote crap like that.  If it's guitar you're talking about.. try out different timing patterns and rythms.. try writing in a different scale. If you have a tune in your head, don't try to copy it out, you'll get frusterated and single-minded. Just relax, have a glass of water and a smoke if you smoke, whatever relaxes you, and just try out different things. Attempt to work with scales or time signatures that you've never worked with before. Most musicians who have writer's block have it because they're fixed on a certain idea, they're stuck in a box. Think outside that box. If that doesn't work, take a break and play something you ARE familiar with, preferably something else you've written. Now go back to writing.  \nKeep in mind, always try new things.

Make sure that you can sight read.  \n\nChoose a song that you can sing well, and is in your singing range.  \n\nThey will also have you singing the scales, so they know what voice range you are in, such as Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass\n\nMake sure you can sing on key!  and can hold your singing part when somebody next to you is singing another part\n\ngood luck!

When I sing Evanascence songs, I make sure to take a deap breath before notes that I know are going to be long, powerful, or need to be loud.  Then just make sure that you bring it "up" from your diaphragm.  Don't use your throat, you'll be hoars in no time.  Bring the air up and push it out .  Make it feel like like you are soaring on top of the note, not struggling to reach it from beneath.\nA head tone is that high pitch that when you sing it you can feel it resonate through your head.  Not usually as pretty.  At least that is what I take it to mean.

myth. lots of water and rest. don't sing if your throat is sore. it will only make it worse. if you have a proper technique then you won't have to worry about problems with your throat.Drinks lots of water to de phlegm and rest your voice to keep from over use.
