Tips
for Using the Right Posture When
Singing
Your Voice and Body
Posture
In order to be a good or even
a great singer there is a list of DOs and DON'Ts
that singers must become accustomed to. Probably
the most important technique to learn is the best
posture for singing.
Why Worry about Body Language
..
Good posture allows one to
project their voice at it's best whether it's for
performance, a talent show, karaoke, or junior
auditions. It is possible to have voice talent
alone without the best posture, but the ability to
control the voice and get the most out of it is
diminished a good deal. Learning the proper posture
is as simple as practicing.
Relax!
The best posture for singing
involves relaxation of the head, neck, shoulders,
and the back and abdominal muscles. Movements
should not be forced, the chin should be level with
the floor, the head up, do not stretch the front of
the neck, and keep your weight even between both
feet, shoulder width apart.
Do not hunch your shoulders
and do not move your chin to a lower or higher
position when singing a low or a high note. Good
posture should promote the best use of your vocal
chords naturally. Posture can be practiced in a
classroom setting or alone in the privacy of your
own home.
More Tips for Improving
Singing Voice
Besides learning good
posture, there are other things you can do to
improve the control you have over your voice and
obtain it's full potential.
Practicing the scales, from
high to low, on a regular basis with improve your
range greatly. Incorporate breathing techniques
into practice and performance time and you will
achieve better results that will be felt by anyone
listening to you sing.
A good instructor will teach
you all these techniques and more, fine tune your
talent, and pull elements out of your voice that
you did not know were there. The instructor can
judge your posture to see if it is correct and
coach you where you need it.
Find an instructor that you
will feel comfortable learning from and be prepared
to take the advice given; it is for the improvement
of your talent. Train well and train often.
