Online Singing Tips - Obtaining A Purer Note

By Sue Govali


Should your goal is to be to possess a centered voice and having an effortless performance while you sing, figuring out how to have a relaxed or better known among singers as a "released" diaphragm is the best way to achieve this. It's not unheard of for first time singers who appear to have huge lung capacity and pretty relaxed diaphragms, prepared for singing a song in reality freeze up at the last moment. They should never be concerned as it's nothing wrong with the diaphragm, nevertheless it cannot perform the job effectively for some odd reasons and that is what we will be talking about here.

With improper breathing technique, a singer will find it very difficult to make it to the end of a whole song without feeling exhausted. Or perhaps after taking a full breath in the beginning, singers learn with the demands of the song, that by the end of it, their diaphragm is very constricted and feels very uncomfortable. Vocal Training students who've been singing and rehearsing for some years and being able to open up with their voices nonetheless cannot access that last 15% missing from their performance and they have no clue concerning how to tap into it.

Can anybody really think of the logical reason for why a singer can't obtain and master this "so- called " invisible power? My old training singing strategies made it harder for me in past times because I used to be explaining things to my students in a technical style as opposed to working on helping them access the core feeling found within their own body. Singing, at its very root depends upon emotions and feeling free to convey them to uncover your vulnerability with virtually no hindrances mentally or physically, which everybody knows is no small feat.

Be able to emote with the diaphragm is the supreme goal of a singer. In order to genuinely have the ability to connect with passion, we have to consciously work with exercising the diaphragm until it becomes natural to access it. Anyone who has been trained in singing is aware that it is a gradual process that could be compared to unwrapping the many layers of an onion, and I can instruct about this stuff until I'm blue in the face but until a singer experience these feelings on their own, they may never ever understand. Through consistent practice, one will learn to recognize that feeling and then reach that place naturally because it becomes part of their emotion memory. This a reason why teaching singing can be very challenging considering that one has to teach a student to develop not simply their body, but in addition their minds, spirit and hearts so that you can sing well. Our entire purpose as an experienced singing coach will tell you is to get you to be a complete package as a singer, if you will.

A singer connecting with his or her diaphragm and experiencing the sound being released from their body is one of the most amazing feelings to experience. With whatever song you listen to, you'll feel a lot more emotion which you will identify being the more effective listener you are and your singing performance will have purer notes with increased weight powering every note. When it feels really good and nothing can seem to stand in your way, this is when you simply know that you're having a great performance. Having this much control over the sound as a singer contributes to it becoming a more free sound and what singer wouldn't want that?

Learning to connect with and releasing the diaphragm is a process and it's not uncommon for some singers to take several years to accomplish this. A battle is consistently taking place within the mind as old problems and grievances, if you have any, will definitely be haunting you and may even hinder your performance. I recently held a workshop with incredible students when a very lovely lady from the group, after being shown the way to release her diaphragm, announced "Oh, that feels so great!" out loud. She went on to say, "I wander around all day long, staying completely tense and I never knew how to let go of that tension, until what you just showed me now with this singing exercise!" It is situations like this that remind me how much an effect proper breathing and the diaphragm truly is to helping a singer achieve the results that they want and how much it can change the quality of their lives as well.
