Use Websites and Other Means for Your Singing Auditions

There are gobs of beginner singers just like you who conceive of one day joining a musical group. Perhaps it is a cover band that plays music that you could hear on the jukebox or on the radio. For some it is original music and for others it is classical music like broadcast drama. Whatever style of music that you elect, singers should know how to prepare earnestly to make the most of their singing auditions.

First - Learn to Sing with One of the Many Singing Courses by Brett Manning Click Here!

Singing auditions are essential when connecting with any musical group, whether established or newcomers. The more established and skilled a group or project is, the tougher the singing auditions will be. There are a lot of skilled, professional singers out there and they all want to be a part of something successful so don't let down your guard at all.

Use a web site and discover your audition group

For beginners who want to get into a popular music group and feel that they have the talent to make it, there are several choices for finding singing auditions. If you go online, Craigslist has a Musicians forum sector in just about every large metropolitan area and many countries outside the USA and you can just go on line and rifle through their postings.

Many groups will set an ad stating that they are looking for a songster and give a general or detailed description of the kind of music they play or what their influences are. Ordinarily singers are invited to acknowledge by sending an email with some information about themselves.

It is suggested for entertainers to get their own musician's website on MySpace as a starting point. Vocalists can record themselves singing either a cappella or with a musical group and they can post the live recordings onto the MySpace musician's site.

These are personal websites and you should be allowed to post a small number of songs, original or covers, as well as images and videos if you wish. Another advantage is that these music websites are excellent to have when you get back to to the groups searching for singers. You can send them the address for your video and ust it as your online singing audition - how cool is that?

Vocal Training

2011-03-03T12:54:00.000-05:00

Your voice is exclusive to you and you alone. Don't make the error of trying to copy other people. Yes, your sound might be similar to a recognized singer, but do you really think the public wants a fake? They want singular and distinct, and the music industry is an ever-changeful business realm. So to fit in, you need to develop that individual voice inside - the one anticipating to be fully-developed!

The best way to train your voice is to work on it one circumstance at a time. Practice each piece until you master it, and then work on another. Below are three fundamental areas of voice training that will help you give a brilliant performance.

The first step suggested for training is to improve your voice power. Your voice should be driving and offer a pleasant sound. It should not be tense, uneasy, or weak. This aspect of training will involve learning about the voice and how it works, learning to breathe correctly while singing, learning to use singing techniques, building singing boldness, and overcoming worry while singing in public.

The 2nd step in training your voice for greatness is to learn about accents. Your voice should not be hard to understand for the listener while talking or singing. Knowledge of how to communicate more clearly (without a strong accent) will help your singing voice to be clearer as well. Focus on speaking clear American English. Exercise diction and expand your vocabulary apprehension. Learn to highlight your voice on demand so you can specify the mood while singing. In other words, have charge of your voice instead of your voice commanding you.

After you have bested the introductory voice training, you are in position to uncover tools for singing success. Learn to deliver your voice in a combination of falsetto and head voice to devise a clear, smooth sound no matter what tone is used. Practice voice delivery with many contrasting tones and octaves, assorted standing positions, and in a number of locales to get the feel for contrasting backgrounds.

Practice your singing and style
Listening, reading and watching are all fine and well but, in reality, one of the foremost ways to train your voice to reach new "highs and lows" is through valid and guided practice. Your voice might just astonish you with what you can accomplish with the right provisions - and the right amount of effort. A comment here is still to take it slow and easy. Don't overdo it as strained vocal chords are without doubt to be avoided.

How to begin
Engaging in lessons for singing is not difficult. What you need to resolve is which way is most desirable for your circumstances.

For instance, all the skills discussed here can be learned through a vocal training course online or by registering in classes at a local college with a well-qualified voice trainer.

How to Promote Your Music for Effect

2007-06-16T14:36:00.000-04:00

If you are a musician and you haven't been promoting your music for effect, you should be studying as much as possible to learn how to promote yourself and you music for the best results. To get the gigs, you must make your music known and the best way to accomplish this feat is to promote your music.

Traditionally, artists would haul themselves around the pubs and clubs. Perhaps they'd get a lucky break and be spotted by a talent scout. In the meantime, a manager may trawl round the record studios in the hope of scoring a recording contract. Even The Beatles were rejected several times before EMI eventually signed them.

Ways to Promote Your Music

Today, there are different ways to consider how to promote your music. Making use of local radio spots and local newspapers can be done at little expense.

Posters publicizing gigs can be done on a decent desktop publishing package on your computer.

When performing at gigs, it's a good idea to sell your CDs after the show. Merchandise, such as mugs and T-shirts with the band logo, can also be sold. The simple ideas are best on how to promote your music.

What is the Difference Between Falsetto and Head Voice Singing?

2007-05-08T14:37:00.000-04:00

It's a fact that most singers think head voice singing and falsetto are the same thing when, in reality, they are entirely different. This informative vocal tip will show you the differences.

What is Falsetto?

Notice the word "falsetto" contains the word "false!" That's exactly what it is - a false impression of the female voice. This occurs when a man who is naturally a baritone or bass attempts to imitate a female's voice.

The Lightest Form of Voice

Falsetto is the lightest form of vocal production that the human voice can make. It has limited strength, tones, and dynamics. Oftentimes when singing falsetto, your voice may break, jump, or have an airy sound because the vocal cords are not completely closed.

Don't Get the Singing Blues because of Bad Weather

2007-05-01T18:50:00.000-04:00

This vocal lesson explains how the weather can affect your singing voice and some steps you can take to prevent disaster on stage. From one crooner to another!

Extremely Cold - Colds, Flu bugs, Runny Noses and More!

If you are very sick or have a fever then you probably need to cancel your singing event. If you only have a common cold, runny nose, or minor sore throat, there are ways to help your voice and combat these problems. With a runny nose, use nasal spray before singing to clear out any extra mucous.

With a sore throat, use honey and lemon mixtures to help soothe your throat before performing. If possible, take the mixture with you to the event and take a break to use the solution half way through the performance when singing multiple songs. In case of an emergency, find some soothing cough drops with honey and lemon. If your throat is severely sore and it hurts to swallow, try postponing your singing event until it feels better.

With a stuffy nose, use a humidifier the night before near your bed. There are also medicines to help clear the nasal passages such as Vicks (TM) vapor rub.

These tips about singing and the weather will do one of two things. It will either reinforce what you may already know about singing and the weather or it will teach you some new voice tricks. Both are good for your singing voice.

A Voice Designed for Many Octaves

Did you know that your voice was designed for many different octaves, or singing ranges? Perhaps you were under the persuasion that your voice could only reach one or two ranges.

If you usually sing low, maybe you never dreamed of singing in high notes, or vice versa.

This piece of the puzzle about vocal training will do one of two things: either it will bring back some of the things you already know about vocal training or it will train you in a new area. No matter how you view it, you will be a better informed singer.

How Long to Increase Your Singing Range?

Your voice cannot be forced into a new singing range; it must be trained. You'll need to find the flow in your voice and use your mind to overcome muscular limitations. While training your voice, you'll also decrease vibrating vocal cords, or mass, until your vocal cords dampen. This will decrease the vibrating sounds of the cords. With this type of voice training, you'll train your musculature to obey your mind.

The Trouble With Singing

This article gives some incredible singing tips and I hope you will find it useful in your music endeavers.

Please allow me to defend my position.

Music is about the one thing besides food, clothing and shelter that we can't as a society, live without. Music is everywhere and inescapable.

So what happens when you get a hold of the only musical instrument that is clothed in flesh, has a nervous system and is a direct reflection of the soul of it's owner?

What happens when you get a hold of the least visible, least predictable, most flexible, most stubborn, yet the most distinct and unique of all musical instruments.

6 Billion Singing Opinions ...

The trouble with singing is that there are 6 billion opinions on the approach to singing and few are taking into account that each voice is distinctive, though the mechanism is basically the same for all voices.

Taking into account that we've only been looking at the cords for the last hundred years, (most of this time through a dental mirror placed at the back of the throat) we've only just begun to understand how the voice works.

Marketing a music group - Is it just about the music? Or, is there more?

Marketing a band isn't just about the music. A lot of money is made on band merchandise, as fans want to surround themselves with their favorite artist.

Some teenage bedrooms are shrines to the rock stars of the day. The walls are covered in posters, scrapbooks are full of signed photographs and ticket stubs and coffee is drunk from a mug bearing the faces of the chosen ones.

One of the first artists to be sold in such a way was the Beatles. Their images were everywhere, on lunch boxes, jigsaws and there were little action figures of them, playing their instruments.
Beatle wigs were popular too with the trademark floppy, fringe. This kind of memorabilia is sought after at conventions and other gatherings of fans. Their management was trying things out for the first time.

When most people think of car audio speakers, what comes to mind is usually basic information that's not particularly interesting or beneficial. But there's a lot more to car audio speakers than just the basics.

If you have a stereo in your car, as most of us do, you want to have decent audio speakers installed. Though you can just go with the ones that come with your car, you may want to get some better ones if you are really into your system.

If you want audio speakers that will give you the best sound available, you have to go to a specialty store to get them. You can buy your audio speakers at K-Mart they will work just fine, but they aren’t going to give you the depth of sound that you need.

Most speakers made for general use are very good, but you want to get some made just to go in your car for your stereo system. You want bright high end and thumping low end, and you need special audio speakers to get that.

There are so many options now days for children and adults interested in becoming concert pianists, or just become comfortable with this instrument and play it whenever they feel like it, carry a tune for their enjoyment or to please others like myself.

Many excellent piano players started their education at a young age, because they were given the opportunity by their parents, relatives or friends, and with time they found a way to express themselves, increasing their self confidence opening doors of inspiration and self satisfaction to become better at their new enterprise.

In this technological age of computers and video games, these have become an excellent way to transmit information at an early age to children. The challenge remains in figuring out which video games should we buy and keep.

American Armed Forces find Sanctuary in Rhythm of Honor CD

2007-02-28T10:56:00.000-05:00

This article is about a cd released a couple of years ago to honor those serving in the American Armed Forces and I believe now is a good time to reflect and appreciate all the sacrafices those young men and women make to keep us safe.

We are sometimes caught dealing in generic phrases like "military action" or "defense plan," and we may forget that good men and women, not words, defend freedom.

These people are fathers, aunts, cousins, younger, older, grumpy, funny, quiet and/or loud, just like you and me, except they offer their lives "on demand" to protect ours. Rhythm Of Honor, an eclectic CD recently released by Goodnight Kiss Music, pays tribute to the American Armed Forces and their families.

Listeners have an opportunity to take part in a two-fold process that helps all the individuals involved in the project, directly and indirectly. While 50 cents of every CD retail sale is donated to the Wounded Warriors Hospital Fund and 95% of all their donations go to rehabilitating the troops wounded in war, you have an opportunity to hear independent artists perform songs from a multitude of genres.

Eleven tracks make up the powerful Rhythm Of Honor CD. It is full of heart wrenching lyrics that will make you reevaluate your life and bring tears to your eyes.

The variety of music is extraordinary, giving all musical tastes a chance to zone in on the meaning of this disc. While the musicianship is good, the heartfelt lyrics will force you to look in the mirror and ask yourself why you ever complain about your life. This is all about the personal stories of real life heroes, our United States military.

This is not your everyday CD, and it is not only the music that you will hear loud and clear. The story between the notes will hit home with force. The music is great and it drives all the messages straight to heart with feelings that are hard to describe without having some kind of personal experience related to the subject.

5 Sure Fire Ways to Get Radio Play for Your "Independent Music"

2007-02-27T17:39:00.000-05:00

This article will help you in getting your independent music some radio play and I hope you will find it useful.

When you're learning about something new, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of relevant information available. This informative article should help you focus on the central points.

You have to find radio airplay time if you’re going to be heard and we’re not just talking the local college campus. The trick is called promotion. Now that doesn’t mean you just put your press kit in an envelope with a demo and hope they take pity on you.

Perhaps you call a station and they give you the standard pitch of, “Send it and if we like it we’ll put you in rotation.” After a few months of never hearing your music, you automatically think you’re not worthy.

First, don’t buy that. You’re one of hundreds, maybe even thousands depending on your city. Your disc will probably end up in the trash or, for more enterprising DJ's, on Ebay in a one-cent CD sale.

What is a Mandolin Lesson Anyway?

2007-02-27T11:16:00.000-05:00

This article portrays one parent's distress in getting mandolin lessons for a young son. I hope you will find some pointers in getting music instruction for your children.

I just got my youngest son his first mandolin lesson the other day, and I have to say, that we're both excited. I feel a little bit guilty, like I've been pushing him a little hard to play music, and for a while it seemed like it wouldn't happen. You see, the whole family plays.

My wife is a fiddler, I play the accordion, my older son plays harmonica and a little guitar, and my daughter is just vicious on the banjo. So I thought, if I could get my little one a mandolin lesson maybe he'd take to it like the rest of us, and we could all sit around and make music together.

Can Background Music set the Mood?

2007-02-26T17:09:00.000-05:00

This report tells how background music can change moods and set patterns in restaurants and other businesses. I believe you will find it very intriguing.

Studies have shown that restaurants can control their earnings with their chosen background music.

That sounds a bit strange and probably not accurate, however, it does make sense. If a romantic, quaint and fancy restaurant caters to elaborate meals that cost more than a normal evening out would, the background music is usually soothing and peaceful.

Perhaps you can hear classical music or themed soft lyrics playing from the corners of the restaurant.

These studies have shown that when there is soft and relaxing background music, people are more likely to take their time during dinner, therefore, spending more money.

Taking longer to eat a meal means that you may have an extra glass of wine, dessert or appetizers. Ordering those extras adds up to a higher bill and the restaurant benefits from that.

Playing more active and vibrant background music is something that chain restaurants and busier settings tend to do. A local steakhouse with a bar is more likely to have upbeat playing than classical.

Band Merchandise & You

2007-02-10T17:58:00.000-05:00

This article is about collecting band merchandise and I hope you will find it helpful. Enjoy the music!

The only way to keep up with the latest about music is to constantly stay on the lookout for new information. If you read everything you find about music, it won't take long for you to become an influential authority.

Band Merchandise

When you come home from a concert, you may have a new T-shirt with you to commemorate your trip. Buying T-shirts and other pieces or band merchandise is often part of the show for some people.

They want something to help them remember the concert, or they want to wear something that has the name of their favorite band on it. Either way, T-shirts are big sellers, but you don’t have to go to a show to get one.

For the most part, you can buy band merchandise for any band by visiting their website. You can also find stuff by looking on eBay or shopping in your local store. Mass merchandisers like K-Mart may not always have band merchandise, but if a band is really popular, you may find something there.

Managing Your Singing Career

2006-12-28T16:29:00.000-05:00

This article is about managing your singing career and I hope it will be useful. Lot's of vocal tips on the website too!

As a professional singer singing on many sessions including, FOX TV, UPN TV Station ID's, O'Charley's and numerous others, it is not always easy to manage one's singing career - Balance that out with the hectic day to day and family time, it's not an easy task, especially when session singing isn't always 9 to 5.

Even as an up and coming session singer, it's often difficult at best, to maintain a full calendar, paying the bills, and making time for friends and family. So how does one go about managing their career when breaking into the business? How do individuals break down their days and weeks into workable goals as they try to enter the jingle singing and session singing world?

Those are great questions, and with the time remaining, I will try to incorporate some ideas that you can work into your singing career to try and improve your odds of not only obtaining session work, but do it in such a way as to maintain emotional harmony.

To begin with, most individuals don't really sit down and create a to do list, not to mention any goal setting of any kind and tend to work from a half-hazard approach. Let's start with workable goals and game plans to get started on the right foot for success.

I've always thought it incredibly important to write down a to do list not only to keep myself motivated, but to actually know and remember what the heck I'm suppose to get done this day or week.

If you haven't done so already, take time each day and set your goals and to do's in order of importance. I actually write the telephone number right by the name of the individual to be called so I'm not looking for any numbers making calls.

Have a Ball with Karaoke Singing

2006-12-22T11:14:00.000-05:00

This article is all about the fun you can have with karaoke singing and I hope it will bring you joy.

Karaoke Singing may be one of the best ways to entertain yourself. If you usually enjoy dancing but are looking for something new and exciting, then I think I may have just the thing to liven you up. Karaoke Singing is becoming more and more popular these days.

It is a wonderful way to forget all your daily troubles and to leave behind your coyness just for a couple of minutes.

Where can you go to sing Karaoke? There are certain nightclubs that have announced karaoke nights. Besides, there are karaoke bars that have Karaoke singing but the bad thing is that they are open only at night. Can you name a better way to relax and let the worries go away than to belt out a few tunes?

Singing will help you to relax and enjoy the moment while all of your cares are gone. If you do not feel like singing but you feel a bit voyeurish, you can go to a karaoke bar and just sit can and enjoy everyone else's trying to sing karaoke. Sitting there your mind will be left at rest while you are enjoying the Karaoke Singing.

Karaoke Singing is not professional singers. In the karaoke bar, you are going to hear people who sing well, people who are just having fun and people who have no chance to sing well ever! No one will judge your singing, Karaoke singing is just for amateurs.

Sing Jingles - Your Singing Investment

2006-12-18T11:32:00.000-05:00

This report is about considering singing jingles as a career and I hope it will expand your knowledge of this fascinating business.

After being in the music business as long as I have, you meet a lot of people - many of whom are extremely gifted and others, well there are others to. As a professional jingle singer, former talent booking agent with the William Morris Agency and founder of ReelMusician.com, I've heard it all - The excuses that is.

Many individuals want the glamorous lifestyle of studio singing work, but they don't want to make the investment that is needed to put them on the map singing commercials. Let's spend a few minutes looking at a typical investment to get you started singing jingles and general session work.

By now, you've seen all kinds of services, prices and wonder what you should do in terms of your singer reel.

Let's spend a few minutes exploring what you shouldn't do. The biggest mistake new singers make is to assume that their friend's studio is going to get the job done - That might work for a rough draft or even a fairly polished song or artist demo, but when you want to play in the game with the big cats singing commercials, you better have a singer reel that sounds like downtown.

Throat Singing In Inuit Culture

2006-12-11T17:03:00.000-05:00

This article is about throat singing in the Inuit culture and I hope you will find it informative and enterning. No I didn't know what it was either. d:-)

Originally, Inuit throat singing was a form of entertainment among Inuit women while the men were away on hunting trips. It was an activity that was primarily done by Inuit women although there have been some men doing it as well. In the Inuit language Inuktitut, throat singing is called katajjaq, pirkusirtuk or nipaquhiit depending on the Canadian Arctic region. It was regarded more as a type of vocal or breathing game in the Inuit culture rather than a form of music.
Inuit throat singing is generally done by two individuals but can involve four or more people together as well. In Inuit throat singing, two Inuit women would face each other either standing or crouching down while holding each other's arms. One would lead with short deep rhythmic sounds while the other would respond.

The leader would repeat sounds with short gaps in between.

The follower would fill in these gaps with her own rhythmic sounds.

Sometimes both Inuit women would be doing a dance like movement like rocking from left to right while throat singing. Sounds produced can be voiced or unvoiced and produced by inhalation or exhalation.

Both Inuktitut words and meaningless syllables are used in Inuit throat singing songs. However, when words are used in throat singing, no particular meaning is placed on them for a song.

When meaningless syllables are used, they are often portrayals of sounds the Inuit hear in their natural environment such as animal sounds or even water running down a creek. Popular Inuit throat singing songs are usually identified by the first word or sound that is produced in each song.

Singing: The Tonic of Life

2006-12-09T06:54:00.000-05:00

This is one of many articles about the joy of singing and I hope it will help you to become a better vocalist.

Most people these days would associate singing with the popular music they see and hear on the radio and tv. This can make you feel like its beyond you, like it's some form of high skill that you need to be born with. A natural talent if you like. In fact singing is much more a part of our everyday lives than you might realize, and it can be a tonic for an improved state of mind and recipe for stress reduction and better health.

The best example of this is, think about the songs that when you hear them on the radio make you remember something wonderful in your past.

The song that reminds you of your first kiss or when you proposed to your partner, or perhaps just some good times with friends at school or work.

You can be sitting all alone feeling sorry for yourself about the way life has treated you and a song comes on the radio that reminds you of a great time in your life.

How To Make a Fortune Teaching Piano (or Guitar, or Drums, or Singing, or...) To Beginners

2006-12-08T16:36:00.000-05:00

This article is about the wonderful world of teaching piano and other instruments for income and I hope it gives you another idea of what you can do with your talent.

“But I'm not in it for the money” you say.

Me neither.

I LOVE music and I LOVE to teach music. I feel sorry for people that go into a field just to make money.

They are missing it.

You've got to love what you do to do it well.

So with me, teaching music is a “get to” - not a “got to.”

But if you love people and you love music, what's the harm in maximizing your income? It's not the raw pursuit of money - it's simply multiplying yourself so that your skill can benefit more people, and in so doing, benefit yourself as well.

Why beginners?

Because for every advanced music student, there are 100 beginners. It's just a matter of numbers. If you want to teach more advanced students (as I do) that's fine - it all adds up. But beginners are the “low fruit” - you can reach them easily and there is no limit to their numbers.

KEEP YOUR VOICE HEALTHY - Singing Exercises

2006-12-01T09:43:00.000-05:00

Here are a few singing exercises to enhance your vocal talents and I hope you will find them helpful.

Singing Exercises and Hints for Singers

Whether you're a professional or an amateur singer, it's important to stay fit and healthy. To maintain proper breathing ensuring that you have full use of your lungs, regular exercise should be part of your day.

Walking and swimming are particularly good for performers because they don't add unwanted stress to your muscles. There is less chance of injury when you swim or walk, which is important if your aim is to perform professionally.

Time out from singing could mean a loss of income. Maintaining a good, balanced diet will help to keep your body fit on the inside.

Make sure you eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. Singers should try to avoid eating too much dairy food as it often builds up phlegm which can adversely affect your vocal chords and sinuses.

A number of professional singers gargle with and swallow pineapple juice. It can be a natural way of cleaning the gunk off your vocal chords before a performance.

The running joke that everyone secretly wishes to be a rock star may not be off track. So many people long for the ability to sing, to sing more, to sing better.

Well, you can. You just need the passport to your voice.

Young Piano Students Learn to Keep Time with a Singing Metronome

2006-11-29T05:31:00.000-05:00

This report shows how a singing metronome can help young piano students keep time and I hope it will help with your child's musical enhancement.

Imagine your child practicing their very first Christmas Song on the piano, such as Away in the Manger, or Silent Night, but they're not holding out the half notes or playing the dotted quarter rhythms like we're all used to hearing it.

Their song starts and stops and lacks the rhythm your trained ear is used to hearing. But of course you don't want to say anything discouraging! When parents do try to correct such “imperfections” in rhythm and tempo, it often creates a lot of friction.

Young students just can't seem to get the right beat and parents don't understand why! Well there is a solution that's easy to use.

One of the great features of modern piano lessons is the electronic or digital keyboard.

Singing Can Change Your Life!

2006-11-24T10:10:00.000-05:00

If you love to sing then read this report about how singing can change your life. I beliveve you will find these 10 tips useful.

1. Promotes deep breathing!

As you begin to use ‘full body breathing' with a relaxed, soft belly, you allow the diaphragm to drop down, giving the lungs the freedom to expand more fully. Relaxed abdominals are essential for proper breath support while singing. I like to think of ‘filling up like a balloon' when I sing. This gives firm, active breath support and allows for deep, full breathing. Singing promotes, slow, deep, healthy breathing.

2. Oxygenates the blood!

As you use full body breathing, you are bringing in a greater volume of air. Oxygen floods the blood system, bathing the cells in life-giving oxygen. You will feel more alive as you breath deeply and fill yourself with energizing, oxygenated air! Singing oxygenates the blood!

3. Stimulates brain activity!

Singing requires thought. You are memorizing lyrics, melodies and rhythms, as well as connecting words with emotion. Your ‘singer's breathing' technique is bringing more oxygen to the brain. Your brain's neurons are firing furiously as you are integrating the physical, emotional and psychological functions necessary to joyful singing! Singing stimulates brain activity!

Create Your Unique Singing Style

2006-11-06T11:24:00.000-05:00

This article tells you about creating your unique singing style and I hope it enhances your knowledge about music.

Second, and more specific, you will need to learn where tone is produced and how that tone is transformed into a sound that radiates from the point a singer projects the voice, to the point where it softens and eventually fades out completely.

This is referred to as resonance. It is the result caused by air traveling through the vocal cords, producing a tone and pitch that is carried outward on sound waves. In other words, resonance is what you hear when you sing using proper vocal co-ordination.

Resonance may be more easily understood when thinking of the speaking voice rather then the singing voice. Public speakers and business professionals, for example, will fall into two categories.

They will either speak from the throat only where tone is produced resulting in a harsh shouting sound for men and a shallow squeaky sound for women or they will speak from a place that produces a slight “humming”.

This “humming” combined with tone from the vocal cords will project a firm and confident voice that smoothly and warmly communicates each word. All great speakers have learned to achieve a balance between tone production and resonance.

Tip! The big bucks in the session world are made in singing national 13 week spots.

Make sure that your goals are realistic - not over aggressive, but challenging enough to keep your career path moving. You might consider sitting down at a coffee shop once a week and looking at and evaluating goals as well as setting up future goals.
This doesn't have to be fancy; you may jot these down with a pen, but keep these handy and up to date.

Your website should include a logo and picture of yourself. Don't make the mistake of including cheap looking artwork. Instead, spend a few dollars on a program to help you design artwork layout. We use a $30 program that is fabulous and can't be beat for the price.

Studio Singing and Vocal Technique

2006-10-16T08:09:00.000-04:00

Tip! Don't hassle the karaoke host, he has a set way of prioritising the singers. Generally first time singers are put on first (they jump the queue), so don't expect the singing order to run in exactly the same sequence as the slips were handed in.

As a singer, one of the biggest allies in your singing career will be your ability to perform well and do it with consistency in the studio. As a professional singer myself singing on FOX TV, UPN Station ID's, O'Charley's and many others, as well as a former talent booking agent with the William Morris Agency, I can tell you that one of the biggest downfalls to most singers is their inability to be consistent with a broad range of singing styles while singing in the studio. It's one thing to sit behind the piano with friends, and an entirely different thing to sing behind the mic in the studio where every nuance and tonal inflection is heard.

So how do studio singers who've been doing this professionally for years, get to that point of consistency, and how do they get the paying gigs and get called on in the first place? Those are great questions, and I will take the remaining time in this article to capitalize on concepts that most singers would likely embrace as the truth and realistic in answering them.

Singing Hobbits, Wizards, and Orcs - Oh My!

2006-10-12T08:06:00.000-04:00

Tip! Finding a good vocal coach, that truly understands studio and jingle singing, is hard to find. Most, have preconceived notions and teaching ideas and attribute everything to a breathing technique of some kind.

It all started with a simple statement scribbled across a blank page of an
examination answer-book: In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Sixty some-odd years and several volumes later, Middle Earth is one of the most well-known and beloved fantasy worlds.

Last year, 2005, marked the 50th anniversary of the complete publication of J.R.R.

Tolkien's masterpiece. The Lord of the Rings, a multi-volume epic that
followed The Hobbit, was first published in London in 1954, with an
American edition following in 1955. This tale of unlikely heroes has been made into a radio play (the BBC's Third Programme aired it in 1956); an animated film (1978);
a trilogy of live-action films (2001, 2002, 2003); several video games (1985, 1990,
1992, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004) with more being planned; and now is being made
into an ambitious live-theatre musical production.

Dare to be a Singer
