As you know, I love singing. Singing is my life. I like to sing in the shower, doing computer, watching tv, and even during dinner. Now since I love singing my screen name on aol is hailsinger as if to hail to the best singer in the world and that's me!! And then on icq my nickname is rainsinger because I was thinking about singing the rain at the time.
Well anyway if you'd like to hear me sing please click here and then click the green thing on that section. IF you don't want to go through all that work please email here Okay well I've been going to singing lessons for 2 years to a jazz singer. She's really nice and is a good singing teacher.
In each lesson i warm up my voice for 10 minutes. By going on scales and humming and doing horse lips. Now my singing teacher is forcing me to get really high on my voice, and it's pretty hard. My voice sounds really squeaky and sharp when i do it, but I have to practice anyway. It's so annoying!!
Then after that I'd sing my songs I'd pick out. My singing teacher has a cabinet full of songs that have words taken out, so I could sing songs without the annoying singers in the background. I pick my songs out. For the last 3 years these are the songs I have sung. Most of them are broadway songs.
We have concerts every year, and since i've done so many concerts, I don't get stage fright anymore. Because of that....I can go in front of class without getting scared. I'm that kind of person now. Sort of like a classclown. Not really though. Anyway I'm a mezzo suprano. I think I'm starting to turn into an alto now....because my voice is getting lower. I hate supranos anyway. I want to be an alto...because altos have nice voices....and I want to sound nothing like that horrible opera singer Sarah Brightman. Her voice sounds okay if you listen to it a little but after awhile....all those really fast shaky notes really get you pissed off.
At home in my spare time I sing all day! I pretend I'm singing in front of an audience and move my arms and sing with a lot of feeling like the professional singers do.
Now getting about my singing lessons. I'm supposed to practice singing at least 3 times a week. I usually only do 2 weeks because I'm either watching tv or computer, but when I do tv or computer I sing also. Okay so at home when I practice, I warm up for like 2 minutes then sing my songs for an hour. I love singing so I do more than I have to.
Okay so here's the way how to learn how to go to your high voice. Open your
mouth really big, then use your opera voice! That's it. But when you do
your opera voice, you have to do it so it feels good, and don't push your voice
or you'll have a sore voice in the morning. But if you don't know how to do
a opera voice...use a really whiny voice...and go up high and sing with that voice.
Then with that whiny voice....try to push at it a little...so it's not so squeaky
and if you practice a lot soon you'll be a wonderful like me!
