Singing, to me is both difficult and personal. ... To better all of this I need to develop a ‘basic singing technique’. ... So, What makes a basic singing technique? ... Correct posture is essential to aid breathing and therefore singing. ... I chose to focus and research ‘Alexander Technique’.
After researching ‘Alexander Technique’ I found it is a way to rid the body of stress before a performance. This technique teaches you both breathing exercises and full body warm ups. ... When using Alexander Technique in my singing class I was asked to concentrate on one part of my body at a time, first tensing the area up, and then experiencing the feeling of relaxation I felt when I let my muscles relax. Alexander Technique is aimed to help dancers, singers, musicians and actors reach their full potential. ... It is important to learn a form of relaxation, as it is essential to singing. Relaxation also encourages confidence, which, without, a singer will never progress past basic singing standards. ...
It is important to develop your music theory as well as your singing abilities. ... Having a degree in music will show that you have a basic, if not extended knowledge of music theory. ...
Developing your vocal range can take any length of time depending on how fast your voice responds to the stretching and shaping of the vocal chords that takes place in any singing class. ... To find out how to perform these exercises correctly, I accessed a website on singing techniques. ... You should practise singing up and down different scales. ... Try singing shorter and then longer notes. ... Once a day, singing exercises can be condensed into one solid hour of practise, in which breathing, scales and vocal improvement can be covered.
That sounds like an awful lot to make up a basic singing technique, but it can all be broken down.
