Hello! I love to sing too! In the past, I practised by lying down and singing out loud. You've gotta feel your muscles at your stomach area and evetually you'll have the strength. Now, i can hit high notes without my voice cracking! Good luck!

Its best to find a local University with a music school or college.  Often graduate students will teach lessons for reasonable fees.  Another option is to contact the local Musician's Union and ask for a referral of voice teachers in the area.  If all this fails, contact the choir director at the Middle or High School and see if they teach lessons.  Sometimes church choir directors will also teach.  Lots of options.... good luck!

Same as you - I'd love to be able to sing. I don't want to be famous or anything, but I'd love to have a nice singing voice.

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!

If you have a demo or a video of yourself singing, make copies and send to record labels.\n\nAlso check out any auditions of musicals or plays in your town(im sure you can act too!) \n\ngo to these websites they should help you:\n\ntalentscouts.com\nchmulti.com\nsongwritersguide.com\nvoy.com\nrhhmbc.com\nrecords.rdccmaud.org\nmusicforamerica.org

You got to have the talent to sing first. Then, practice every day for at least 15 minutes to start, then, as your voice gets stronger, start lenthening your practice time till you get to an hour a day. Have plenty of water available, as you will expell a lot of water while singing. Do not drink any dairy products before singing, as this coats your throat and makes singing very difficult. If you could join a chorus or choir, you could get a lot of practice from the director. I started in high school and now I own a karaoke and sing to trax tapes at church. If you want to do this professionally, such as be famous, you'll need bigger connections. But, it all starts with talent. If you don't have it, practicing will only make you sing louder, but not necessarily better. If you have people telling you that you've got a good voice, check with a professional, maybe the chorus teacher at your local school. See if he'll listen to you after school and give you his opinion. If you watch American Idol, I'm sure you've seen what those people go through to get to the top. It takes lots of hard work, and talent. Without talent, all you have is hard work and no one wants to watch someone work hard. It's hard on the ears. <*)))><

i dont really know, but i guess, you should search over the internet. But if you can find one, you better join a school choir. i'm also a beginner with this voice lesson. i do join a school choir. i've been doing this for a year, and i guess i has helped. Somehow, i now know  how to sing with my diapraghm but not as good as others. everytime we're having a practice for the choir, we always start it with a vocalization.

Well...you have to be able to sing...and if you can't sing, eh...try something else.\n\nPersonally, I've accepted every offer I've been given when it comes to music, even if I wasn't too excited about it. I've done opera, musicals, simple party performances, and other stuff...

The answer is: no, I can't.  The reason is you can't really learn to sing from a book.  You might be able to get some tips, but to really become good, you need a teacher.  Everybody's anatomy and abilities are different, and to learn to use yours to the best of your ability you need someone who can work with you.\n\nIf there is a college in your area, you may be able to take lessons from one of the professors (expensive) or even one of the voice students there (usually pretty cheap).\n\nGood luck!

Start in a church. Practice and strengthen your voice. When your ready write your own songs and record an album. Then submit your album to record companies.

Voice training and lots of practice.  Sing within your voice range or you can cause alot of vocal damage.

Get a voice coach. Use your diaphragm. Sing louder (high notes are easier to hit with great force and volume).

Breathing from the diaphragm is good. Learn how to phrase lines so you can breathe at the right moments, and work on your pitch. Tape record yourself singing along with someone else--recorded or live. And smile a little as you sing; keeping the corners of your mouth curved will stop you from singing flat. At least this all works for me.

You're very vague. There are lots of different careers in the music business. Please expand and I'll try to reply as best I can\n\nEDIT : Singer. Are you singing now? Do you go out to clubs/pubs and sing? If not, why not? I hear so many people saying they want to be a singer, but aren't actually doing it. So the first bit of advice would be, start singing in front of an audience, ANY audience, it doesn't matter. This way you will get better at singing, at banter with the crowds, etc etc. Even karaoke is better than nothing.\n\nThe next thing would be to try and record a demo, if you write songs, so much the better, if you don't, you need to find someone who can write for you. NB There is no point going in to a studio to record standards like "Summertime...and the weather is easy..." It will go straight in the bin. \n\nSo you need to find a good song you can sing, and then get it recorded to a professional standard. You may have to do this process many times before you are happy with the track(s) you want people to hear.\n\nThe next stage is the REALLY tricky bit : you have to find someone who believes in you enough to want to spend HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS to promote you. Tall order? You bet! Try finding a manager, they will be experienced in talking to people who actually work in the industry.\n\nAnd the final thing - BE PERSISTENT. If at first you don't succeed, and all that.\n\nAs a final note, if you are not very attractive, or over 25, the odds are REALLY stacked against you!!!\n\nGood luck.\n\nPS You could always just apply for The X Factor, of course. Though the odds on getting anywhere on that show are slimmer than John Prescott winning the 100m race in the Olympics.\n\nPPS Catweazel's right, it really IS full of ar*eholes.

Being a professional cheerleader is hard- there are few job openings, and you don't keep them long. \n\nBeing a singer, as long as you have an awesome voice, has long term possiblities.
