• Answer:

  There are a few simple things that are technical that you can work on and see if you notice any difference. One of these things is the fundamental foundation of singing: breathing and breath support. They key to a great singing breath is deepo within the stomach. Always stand in front of a mirror when you practice breathing exercises. You want to take in deep breaths using your stomach, NOT YOUR CHEST! You can always tell when you are using your chest because your shoulders will move up and down (like you are shrugging) and you do not want this! You want to take breaths that make your stomach expand far out, as far as it will go. Deep breaths and good breathing will assure that #1). You do not go flat or out of tune at easily and #2). You can support higher notes and louder dynamic levels :) Now, there are breathing exercises that you should do daily to help expand your breathing capacity. One is simply taking a deep breath, and letting air slowly out making a "tssssss" sound. Then, you hold it for 10 counts, 12, 14, 16 counts, and so on. Every few days, increase this number by two seconds, until you get up to the high 20-seconds range :) Look around online for other great exercises that include diagrams, because other ones usually have body movements associated with them. The next basic that will help improve your voice and singing ability is posture. Make sure you always stand straight up, feet shoulder-width apart, with your hands to your sides and shoulders back. Use a mirror so you can see if you start to slouch! Good posture with help with your tone, staying on pitch, and just help period. :) As far as other ways to help improve your voice, you just have to find your niche. Maybe you sound the best as an alto, singing gospel, or maybe you are more comfortable and sound better singing soprano and broadway tunes. Once you find your niche, stay there when you first start out with focusing on your posture and breathing, and then you can experiment with other ranges and musical styles. I would honestly suggest going to a professional teacher for voice lessons. Look around, because you are bound to find someone who will offer a great deal of knowelege for a small amount of money. There is not much you can do to turn a voice around 360 degrees of course, but just sinply try the deep breathing and posture, and you will definitely notice a difference. But as far as your voice getting weak and such, it could be anything from breath support problems to "inner breathing" deep in the stomach. Just sing from your stomach, not from your chest, and using a mirror will help you. Also, you may have vocal cord damage. If you have ever in the past talkid loudly or screamed for a long period of time, over years, this will create vocal cord nodules on your cords which will make your voice "tired" after a bit of singing. The best way to help these nodules is to drink plenty of water, do not strain while singing, and correcting your technical problems if any. If this persists, you will need to see a specialist, because it could turn into a serious vocal problem. Hope this helps!!!!!
