If you have aspirations to be a professional singer or your just want to improve your singing so you can be a hit at Karaoke nights, there are several tips and techniques on how to sing better. These are tested and recommended by many professional singers and coaches and have almost always produced positive results.

If you want to sing well you need to have a good posture. If you stand straight and tall not only will it make you look confident but it will also reflect in your singing because your lungs and diaphragm will get more space to move.

If you want to get that floating voice quality like one of the acclaimed singers you will need to leave your body loose without any tensions inhibiting your movement. Relaxation techniques like yoga and tai chi can help you to overcome tensions.

When you are singing the position of your arms will also help you to reach the high notes and make you sound clearer and louder. When going for the high notes keep your hands away from your body and raise them slightly also raise your chin upwards. This will help you fill your lungs to the maximum capacity and sound better.

On the other hand when you go for the lower notes bring your arms close to your body move your chin downwards. But make sure that it doesn't touch your chest because this will constrict your air flow and shut your voice.

When you inhale try to move your stomach muscles outwards as this will help you to fill up your lungs faster while exhaling pull your stomach in using the muscles of diaphragm.

A relaxed voice box or larynx is a must for good singing. The larynx and the vibrations produced in it can easily be felt by placing your hand on your neck.

You will notice that even professional singers wear headphones when recording a song they do this so that they can hear themselves and sing in tune. It is important that you sing loudly so that you can hear yourself sing.

A singing session cannot be complete without a warm-up session before it and a cool down session in the end. You throat and your voice are your instruments and you need to be very careful with them.

Avoid shouting or speaking too loudly very often. Also never start singing at the high notes because this may damage the delicate vocal chords and nodes.

You can work on your singing skills by going for professional voice coaching sessions or try out the online singing software.

Follow good eating habits, excessive alcohol and smoking will damage the vocal chords making you sound hoarse.

Try to get feedback on your performance. Sing for family and friends who will give you their honest opinion. Alternatively you can record your performance and try to analyze your mistakes or shortcomings.

Finally, Practice, practice and practice some more. Follow a diligent and consistent practice plan.
