How to put your own voice at home

For most people, music can replace almost everything in the world. After all, individual notes of a melody can touch the most hidden strings of our consciousness, turn our heads and simply cheer up. Most people hum when doing something, even if it's office work. By regularly practicing vocals at home, you can significantly improve your diction and clear your voice of excess garbage.

It is very difficult to correctly put the voice on your own, since there is no professional teacher nearby who can check the quality of performance. It would be the best option to sign up for individual courses or, if it is not possible to travel, invite a teacher to the house. But often the limitation of financial opportunities puts an end to attracting a teacher for classes. In this case, there are several options for solving this problem.

There is a lot of both useful and unnecessary information on the global web. To practice vocals at home, you should find and carefully study video lessons on this topic. It is advisable to look for videos containing the full course of lessons so as not to stop in the middle of classes. Also, when looking for video lessons, you should consider who provides them. The best training option will be videos from famous teachers. A less effective option are audio lessons. You can't learn how to sing blindly. It is very important to observe from the outside how the teacher, for example, takes a breath or reproduces a sound. Breathing plays an important role in the correct setting of the voice. Therefore, it is best to visually see how the breath is taken, what shape the lips are folded into, and what kind of sound is produced as a result. In addition to audio and video lessons, it is helpful to attend cultural venues such as theater, opera or workshops. Most of the workshops are provided completely free of charge. You can get a lot of useful information from them.

Breath

So, before you start various chants, you should pay attention to your breathing. After all, it is the foundation of the correct and beautiful sounding of the voice and its subordination. When practicing vocals, many make a big mistake, taking the tension of the vocal cords for fatigue. This is a fundamentally wrong statement. Tension of the ligaments of the voice is the most important and direct cause of improper breathing. The elementary application of breathing exercises should be ideally studied and achieved. Only then will the ligaments begin their long-awaited development.

When performing breathing exercises, the most important thing is the work of the lower abdomen. Neither the upper part of it, nor the chest or shoulders, only the lower abdomen works. This type of breathing is commonly referred to as baby breathing.

There are many exercises for the respiratory system. Everyone has seen how a kite can soar in the air. So, using a regular plastic bag, you can make it soar with your breath. Or take a bird feather. With it, you can improve the ability to increase or decrease the strength of the voice. That is, to strengthen and weaken the force of exhalation so that the flutter of the pen occurs, for example, along the edges. One of the most effective exercises is singing vowel sounds. It must be performed in front of the mirror, singing vowels on the exhale. This will allow you to understand how to put the voice on your own.

It is not enough to master the power technique of the voice, its purity of sound is also important. Any words should be clear and intelligible, and their sound extraction should be unhurried and smooth. To find a clear sound, it is worth using the accompaniment of a musical instrument, most often it is a guitar or piano. Without opening your mouth, you need to yawn, as a result of which the upper sky will rise. And then sing a series of any notes. All this is done without opening the mouth.

The power of the voice

Lessons on the power of the voice will help control the correct high or low production of sound. But we should not forget that overvoltage will nullify all efforts and time. While singing in vowels, remember how Tarzan beat his chest, and do the same, only not much. And the product of vowels should be strengthened, you can even shout, but the main thing is not to overdo it with blows. Not only the ligaments and throat, but the whole body should participate in the strength of the sound. And when listening to any songs, it is worth trying to repeat the timbre and power of the sound of the performing singer. This will teach you to adjust the desired strength of the sound.

That's all about the classes themselves. We must not forget that for the best effect in any business, be it
diet or bicycle, a complex of actions is important. Therefore, in addition to exercise, you should pay close attention to food. When setting up the voice and further using it for performances, it is strictly forbidden to use spicy foods such as mustard, pepper, horseradish and the like. The same goes for alcohol, since the alcohol content has a negative effect on the beauty of the sound, and cigarettes.

It is best to fill the refrigerator with foods containing high levels of minerals and vitamins. If there is dryness in the throat, it is worth drinking mineral or boiled water, in extreme cases, you can drip olive oil. But hot drinks are not recommended.

Carrying out any exercises, the main component of effective exercises and subsequently a beautiful head is posture. If you need to sing while sitting, you do not need to tilt your head too much, because the vocal cords will be squeezed and sound production will not work out worthy. Feet should be well rested on the floor to create a reliable support.

Regularity of classes

It is not worth spending all day on all the exercises. This will not give the desired effect and may result in a breakdown of the voice from overexertion. It is better to ensure uninterrupted regularity of classes, not exceeding a couple of hours a day with a mandatory break. Do not weaken attention to the technique of performance, try to hone everything to automatism. And, of course, do not forget about the various harmful factors that affect the beauty and strength of the voice.
