1 – Take A Breath! Breathing is the foundation of singing. Without proper breath support, your voice will lack the power and range that will allow you to sing songs with ease.
2 – Warm Up Your Voice Before Performing. You wouldn’t run a race without first stretching to warm up your muscles. In the same way, for endurance and your very best vocal tone, it’s essential to “stretch out” through vocal exercises before launching into a song.
3 – Drink Lots of Water! Dryness causes a multitude of vocal problems. Room temperature or warm water works best for singers. Avoid cold water.
4 – Say “no” to Dairy and Caffeine Right Before a Performance. Caffeine is drying, which makes it harder to sing well. Dairy products are mucus producing, which can cause an unclear tone.
5 – Connect with your song. What is the main emotion behind the song lyrics? When you tap into your emotional connection, your audience will too.
