Do
You Dare to be a
Singer?
by Bob
Pardue
Do
You have what it Takes to learn
to sing?
-
- Singing
in the shower is one thing,
but learning to sing in
concert with a group or as a
soloist is another.
-
- If
you've always dreamed of
becoming a singer, you don't
have to be a "natural born"
vocalist to accomplish your
goal. A "natural born singer"
is about the same as saying
there is a "natural born
surgeon."
-
- Both
you as a singer, as with the
surgeon, only need the desire
and dedication to learn. But,
do you have what it takes to
be a singer?

- Amazing
Singers and Voice
Training
-
- Have
you ever wondered how a
professional vocalist can sing
high or low, loudly or softly,
and never appear to be
straining?
-
- Nine
times out of ten, they weren't
born knowing how to do this.
They trained their voice until
they were able to reach their
maximum vocal potential.
-
- Whether
it was through a personal
voice trainer, a singing
manual or an online singing
course, somehow they graduated
from simply singing around the
house to training their voice
for optimal
performance.
-
- Your
Voice, Your
Instrument
-
- When
singing, your voice is
considered to be the
instrument. An instrument is
something a person plays
skillfully to create beautiful
sounds.
-
-
-
- The
voice, as an instrument,
functions in a similar way.
You can learn new notes or
sounds and train your voice to
reach those sounds through
practice. Reaching high
musical notes naturally is
called speech level singing.
It's similar to practicing
with a guitar or piano, except
all you'll need is your vocal
cords.
-
- Your
voice is the most affordable
instrument you'll ever
play!
-
- Discover
Your Voice's True
Sound
-
- Your
voice is unique in that it
makes a distinct sound when
talking or singing. Even if
you feel that your singing
voice is terrible, singing
lessons will reveal the type
of singing you were meant to
accomplish.
-
- Some
voices are high, some are low.
Some people can sing on-key
every time. Others must train
their ear as well as their
voice to learn how to hit
certain notes.
-
- The
question you should ask is,
"Am I willing to learn how to
use my voice?"
-
- Singing
lessons might reveal that you
are an alto, when you were
trying to sing soprano all
along!
-
- Once
your voice finds its place on
the musical scale, you can
blend beautifully with others
or sing solo songs that were
meant only for your unique
voice.
-
- Are
you Willing?
-
- If you
are willing to do the
following, then you probably
do have what it takes to be a
singer.
-
- 1)
Begin voice training with
either a personal voice
instructor or take
online
singing
lessons.
-
- 2)
Follow the lessons closely,
and don't be afraid to step
out on a limb to take your
voice to new
heights.
-
- 3)
Do necessary voice
exercises to keep your
vocal cords
healthy.
-
- 4)
Eat and drink foods or
liquids that are going to
benefit your singing
ability, not hinder
it.
-
- 5)
Most of all - practice,
practice,
practice!

Singing Tips
-
- Before
enrolling in singing lessons,
write down some goals for what
you would like to accomplish
with your singing.
-
- Will
you sing in a church choir or
as a soloist? Do you desire to
sing as a performer in the
music industry?
-
- Whatever
your goal, write it down and
hang it somewhere to motivate
you as you train your
voice.
-
- Also,
keep a high quality tape or CD
recorder to record your
singing as you progress. Make
a recording of yourself now,
and then once every few
lessons to see how your voice
improves with the lessons.
-
- You'll
be amazed at the difference -
even if you were a fairly good
singer before.
-
- Shoot
for the stars with your
singing. You'll be using your
voice as a musical instrument
in no time! Go

adventure.
