Limitation

We as a singer should now our vocal limit that will harm the voice.

Taboos

 
is a rule in the singing which is, don’t imitate or sing like the artist voice. Use your own voice & learn that artist vocal.
In Malay folks said that women can’t sing at the kitchen, will marry with the old man in future.

Choose of Song
There are some TIPS that can assist you in selecting and determining what songs you want to bring:

• You have to know your vocal range, where the lowest tone and highest tone. Do not choose the songs that have the tone range exceeds the capabilities of your vocal range. For example, if your vocal range anywhere from 2 1/2 octave to 3 octaves , then choose a song with a range of two octaves tone range , so that you will be comfortable and safe in the sing . Remember that you know your vocal range then determine the basic tone of the songs that you would bring your vocal range in accordance with it

• You also need to know in vocal range where the strength of your vocals, whether in a low tone (Chest Voice), medium tone (Voice Mask) or high tone (Head Voice) . If you’re vocal strength at high pitch, then choose a song that dominant by a high-pitched tone.

• Noteworthy also is , you should already be familiar with in the type of music / genre what fits your vocal type , whether pop , rock, classical , jazz , etc . If your ears and your fans happy to hear you when pop song, then the song of your choice should be dominated by pop songs.

• Often we hear of a singer is more pleasing to the ear when a rendition of the west ( England ) compared with when singing the song his own language ( Asia ) is due to weaknesses in terms of pronunciation of words in the form of English language . There are also some singers that mention the sound of " E" is rather odd ( maybe because he comes from an area in Asia , well, if you possessed a problem like the above , for example, the pronunciation of the sound of " E" so far as possible avoid  the songs that predominantly by the voice of the " E "

• The strength of your breathing also is crucial in the selection of songs, because a lot of the songs that require you to sing more than two stanzas in one breathe. Find the section where you will take a breather that is safe, where you will steal the breath. Setting a wrong breath will be risky and fatal consequences on your overall appearance

• If the pronunciation of the word as well as our breathing is weak then you should choose the songs are rhythmic slow to moderate.

• And this is the most difficult is how we can grasp the meaning behind the song or what it is that to be conveyed by the composer

Everyone able to sing very well. The only distinguishing is the quality of person vocal. But vocal quality can be trained with proper and effective technique. Now many of the courses have been opened for vocal training and tutor. But you can train yourself without shame. The following are some tips for your vocals guys.

Warm Up

 
Before you begin singing with the correct technique should we do warm up first. Heating was extremely important to the singer. Heating aims to prepare all organs involved in the singing, so that it can be produced optimal sound. Here is a step-Dap heating step is performed before singing:

1. Do stretch the muscles of the body, from head to toe.   It aims to make the body in a relaxed state. As twisting the head, shoulders, and wrists of hands, waist, and legs   (Knee and ankle).

2. Do sports breath, by the way: 

• Attractive deep breath directly into the diaphragm, then hold for 3 seconds, then waste directly without making a sound.

• Attractive deep breath directly into the diaphragm, then hold for 3-10 second, then waste slowly by sounding "sss" submarine 5-25 seconds,

• Attractive deep breath directly into the diaphragm, then hold for 3-10 seconds, then immediately dispose of the ring the "HAH" in a loud voice with high or low intonation.

• Imitate the dog breath "hah hah hah hah ..."

• Laugh freely like a Santa Claus laughing "ho ho ho ho ho"

3. Perform gymnastics and tongue oral cavity for breathing and air circulation better. Can be done by:

• Massaging the gums with aloe

• Rinsing the mouth with air

• Opening the jaw downwards repeatedly

• Moving the jaw right and left

• Stuck out his tongue and pulled it with a flat

• Sounding the "brrrr" using lip

4. Ringing tone by example (1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1) with Humming


Repeat heating several times to avoid neck muscle tension, shoulders and jaw.

Exercise

When you have mastered your breathing, the following singing exercises will help you on the path to improving and understanding your voice. The key to a good rehearsal is to ensure that you achieve before starting.

The example of the exercise in singing.

Music Arrangement.

 
in music, an arrangement is a musical reconceptualization of a previously composed work. It may differ from the original work by means of reharmonization, melodic paraphrasing, orchestration, or development of the formal structure. There for, for singer, if the song are to hard or using high pitch in singing, they will do some music arrangement for make it low key in live performance.

In this live performance by Malaysian superstar singer can see how music arrangement done, which is using high pitch in original song but in live they make it a low key together with music. 

Soul in Vocal

To make our vocal in singing more impressive, they are a few things we should consider when singing. Or the audience will feel nothing in listening our singing, it feel like an empty meaning even thou the lyric or the music is good. The good singers are take this seriously to make their fan will touching when listen to their songs... 

 

Emotion
Singing with Emotion. Sing to the music and lyrics. If in the lyrics of the drafting of anger, then you should also be able to sing with a soul full of anger, and vice versa. Maybe it depends on concept of the song, which is in essence you have to be able to animate the lyrical content of the song.

This is a fine example of emotional singer performance by Malaysian famous artis Dayang Nurfaizah when she sing at Malaysia Music Award, as we can see she cry at the platform but yet still can manage her vocal very well.

 
 

Feeling
It is almost the same with emotion but it different when the performer sing a song full of heart and automatically the audience can feel what is inside of the of the singer itself. Or it can make the whole song different for example the happy song become sad or vice versa. 

 

This example of the performer sings a song without feeling. This is a Malaysian song should be sad but this girls just sing without nothing.

 
Lyric
As a singer lyric is most important when sing a live in concert or television. For many people, memorizing words is easier if the words are set to music–that is why songs are often used in education (there is even a song that lists all 50 states!). That being said, trying to memorize a song on a deadline is not fun. Not many people know how to practice singing lyrics effectively, and singers often need to learn multiple songs on short notice. If you are struggling to memorize lyrics, you are not alone. Plenty of people have trouble memorizing lyrics to songs. Memorization becomes even harder if the song in question has lots of words or is strophic (has a repeated melody with different words each time).

There are some example of the singer that forgot the lyric of her own song in live concert and performance. Its quiet shame to her because it will ruin the whole song and make the audience or her fans sad.

3 Basic Techniques to Master a Vocal

Hye guys, this entry will make you to truly understand on how to make your vocal became powerful when singing.., so basically there is 3 component that are important in vocal. Let’s take a looks 

Breathing ( diaphragm ) 

This is the main and most important part in a vocal exercise. You know why..? Because the breath is a major driver of the voice. The strength of the breath can lead and create a vibration as the source of the “Beep”. And the breath also known as the most potent vitamins to nourish the voice. So breathing should be well-trained and conscientious. Lets see the video.

That video from Professional Vocal instructor in Indonesia tech on how to use breathing from diaphragm especially to get a great vocal.

 
Voice (Chest& head Voice)

In order to keep the voice perfect and maintain when singing, there are two main voice techniques that must balance.

Chest Voice
This is a common voice that every singer has. This voice applies in almost every song. The very simple explanation is that chest voice is that low to middle part of your voice, in the same range where you speak. It’s usually an easy part of the voice to sing in, although for women it can sometimes be more difficult.

Video from again famous vocal instructor indra Aziz to demonstrate chest voice. The common voice in singing.

Head Voice
In the “chest voice” – the voice most people use to speak with – people generally feel the resonance of pitches in that area vibrating in their chest. Put your hand on your chest and say the vowel “a” as in “cat” nice and strong – feel how that seems to resonate between your throat and chest? That’s your chest voice. Then cheer saying, “Woo-hoo!” – feel how the sound seems to have moved into your head? That’s your head voice guys!. Known as the highest note in vocal when singing. Here the video explain the different in head voice.

Indra Aziz make a difference on chest voice & head voice, can you see the difference?

High Pitch

This is the highest vocal that every singer could archive. However there are some people or singer could reach high pitch because it will give trouble to the voice and hard to do it. It takes many years and plenty of training to reach at the high pitch, or can be falsetto if the control of vocal is week.  

This is tutorial on how to reach a high pitch in singing from Indra Aziz, famous vocal professional adviser in Indonesia. 

Vibrato
 
Vibrato is a sign of good vocal technique.  Vocal Vibrato is a technique used to make corrugated sound / vibrate quickly and fixed.To masters’ vocal techniques are by controlling the vibrator in singing. People said the more the singer use their vibrato in singing, the more power their vocal technique. Some singer doesn’t have vibrato in their song because she/he are not good enough in singing, this happened to the new artist.

The video from famous vocal professional instructor make a demonstration on how to have vibrato in voice. Need a full of consecration and practices. 

Different Key In Vocal

From the picture we can see that the flow of the voice come from. This is knowledge that every singer should care about:

 1)  Lung push more air into the trachea

2) Fold the sound is in the larynx at the top of the trachea will vibrate the air to produce fundamental and harmonic tones that color the tone

3) Sounds produced by folding together the sound of air moving into the pharynx and oral cavity where it begins to resonate and reinforce the harmonic tones contained in

4) The jaw, tongue, teeth and lips to form a sound vowels and consonants

5) Singing a good start with a solid air pressure and consistent from the lungs / stomach

6) Fold must be relaxed and low sound in his throat so that it can vibrate freely and produce pleasant sound

7) Pharynx and oral cavity at the back of the mouth must be fully opened to allow the echoes of sound waves that produce a warm tone and sound

8) tongue, teeth and lips should be in close contact with each other to produce a good report

The Woman Voice 

The women voice is so unique because have 4 better than man, which is Alto, Mezzo-Soprano, & Soprano.. J

Here are examples about difference between man and woman voice.

 

The Man

For men there are three popular ranges, Bass, Baritone, and Tenor. For men who are comfortable with the level of the lowest register held their Bass. Range starting at note F one octave below middle C to the F above middle C , while Baritone the vocal range of a simple man between Bass and Tenor starting at A note one octave below the note middle C to note b below the middle range , while Tenor was higher for male voice begins in note c below middle C to C above middle C note.


The woman

For women there are 3 range of Alto, Mezzo - soprano, and soprano. For women in the category Alto (most low range) vocal range they are in this category starting with the note C below middle C and ends in G under high C note For Mezzo Soprano (will range between Alto and Soprano) Range comfortable for them this is the beginning of the note G below middle C to the note B before high and lastly Soprano begins in G previously middle C note and ended on a high note C.
