How do I train the tone of my voice?

How can I train my voice to develope a pure, beautiful, tone?

  • How should I practice in order to have a beautiful tone of voice when I sing?

  • Answer:

    Be sure to drink a lot of water, because your vocal chords need plenty of hydration so they stay loos and air and sound flow out more easily. Also, make sure you are breathing from your diaphram, it should feel like it's coming from your belly. While practicing, you can lightly touch the sides of your nose. If you feel it vibrating, you may have too nasal a sound (that also comes from shallow breathing, btw). These are all tricks I learned when I took choir in 7th grade, and I swear it was the first time ever that I could sing. Also, when I was younger, I had a high-pitched voice i wasn't aware of until I heard it on tape. After that, I practiced pitching my tone of voice lower and by the end of the school year I went from a chipmunk to actually sounding like a normal human being. The way we hear ourselves is different from how everyone else does, so taping your voice is good if you are working on your tone.

The basics of good singing boil down to posture, breath support, and voice placement. The first two sound (deceptively) easy, but if you've never sung before, I'll bet you're scratching your head about that third one. The best thing you can do for yourself is to take singing lessons with a respected coach. They'll not only teach you the basics of what makes a great voice, but they'll be able to listen to you sing and fine-tune their lessons to match your specific voice. Best of all, they'll act as a safety net, making sure that you understand and implement techniques correctly, so that you don't damage your voice (believe it or not, this is possible!). Improper voice placement (i.e., singing from your throat) can really hurt your vocal chords, so if you can't train formally, at all costs, make sure what you're doing doesn't hurt. If it does, then you're straining and possibly causing harm. I know this answer probably sounds like a cop-out, but there really is no substitute for good training. Good luck!
