How to overcome my fear of singing in front of other people ?

in

I know I'm not really good at singing but I'm working on it and I'm getting a little bit better. What's stopping me the most is that when I need to sing in front of other people (even in front of my mom) I freeze and I can't hit even 1 note, my voice cracks too much and I'm singing way out of tune. Today I need to sing in front of my teacher and I'm scared that it's gonna happen again. Please help

Answer: 
You should definitely get lessons! It will not only make you better, but make you more confident that you are actually a good singer. Sing by yourself, in your room, shower, and once you have a song ready, sing it for your mum - who is she to judge? Family is always a good audience to start off with. If you need help fast, i suggest just keeping calm. Think, why am i nervous? If there is no good reason to be nervous, why be nervous then? Think of something happy or funny helps as well, or imagine that the teacher isn't actually there, and you're singing in your own room. If worse comes to worse, take a video of yourself singing by yourself and give it to your teacher.

How to increase the likelihood of meeting a singer at their concert?

in

I'm going to Nicki Minaj, wooo!
Does she usuallly stay after to sign?
Or is there somewhere we can creep that she'll probably walk by?
How long before would she probably go into the building, and how long would she wait to leave?

Obviously no one will know these for sure, and they're probably not exactly the same, but estimations compared to what other artists usually do will suffice! :-)

thanks!

Answer: 
You could try a few things, Write her a letter telling her that you really want to meet her, mention the date you are going to her concert and give her a good reason that she should meet you. You could even try writing to Ellen (the Ellen show) as she 'makes people's wishes come true' but overall you need a good reason. P.s. it helps if it is something sad or distressing that has happened to you.

Well, I also tried. Take your phone or anything else with a camera, then you take a video of yourself singing. Make yourself a youtube account, then upload the video (connect your phone to your computer via usb and copy & paste it to your deskop). Or you can just try to take part in talent show, keep your eyes open for events like that...good luck with your future :)

How to sing and play guitar at the same time?

in

I can sing pretty well, and I consider myself a good guitarist (I've played for almost 3 years). But I can't do them both at the same time or I start to sing the guitar notes.

Answer: 
Start slow. Very slow. I used to have the same problem, and still struggle when learning to play new songs. I learned this from James Hetfield, who said he learned to play and sing his songs by starting really slow and working up. It takes time, but it definitely gets easier. there are so many songs that I thought I would never be able to play and sing, and low and behold I got it easy. It also helps to know each part by heart. Be able to play the song backwards and forwards, and know the lyrics by heart.

By the way I wanna do death metal growls and black metal screams \m/ \m/

Answer: 
Metal Screaming is singing with extremely loud and high pitch voice. Some genres of music by nature are much louder than others. Is your singing voice suitable for screaming? Electronics can amplify voice, screaming using microphone techniques need to be practised too. The way to sing louder is by pushing up your diaphragm with your stomach muscles, projecting the sound. It is the same as when you yell. You take a deep breath and exhale strongly by raising the diaphragm. Thus, you can control the loudness of your singing voice with the support from the diaphragm and breath. To protect your voice, avoid shouting or straining the voice. Always warm up before a performance. This can include relaxation techniques and gentle exercise. Then warm up with singing exercises in the mid-range of the voice. Rest the voice between performances as much as possible, and avoid tension and stress. If you have not had formal voice training, learning vocal techniques from a singing coach can protect and enhance your voice. Avoid pitching your voice at a lower or unnatural level. But there is absolutely no point in having a loud but monotonous voice. Besides sounding stronger and louder - you also need to practice regularly on your vocal range and singing techniques. Like any muscle in the body, the singing voice can be trained and improved through special exercises. Here's how you do it: 1) Learn how to breathe properly: sit down with your back straight, and just hum with your normal voice and mouth closed. When humming, one automatically uses his/her diaphragm and abdominal muscles, so you should feel your abdomen goes in, while your chest and shoulders aren't moving. This is exhaling. To inhale (use open mouth), expand your abdomen and lower back ribs, while not moving the chest and shoulders. it's best to breath from your diaphragm when singing. It allows more sound to come out and you can also hold notes longer. It's hard to describe how to do this exactly. Just think of trying to make your stomach puff out when you breath in instead of your chest. Your chest will still fill up too, obviously, since that's where your lungs are, but you'll feel it more in your abdomen, physically. Practice breathing like that a bit before you start singing & then try it while singing. You'll notice a big difference in your sound & when you break after a long note, etc Practice this breathing, and master it. 2) Hum (with your mouth closed) and gradually increase the volume. Notice how your abs are shrinking towards the inside (this means that your diaphragm is relaxing and pushing air out). 3) Keep increasing the volume, and you'll notice that your humming is kind of vibrating. 4) Inhale some air, and push the humming even further, making it vibrate even more. Keep the airflow steady (about five seconds is the maximum). 5) Inhale again, hum like that again, and open your mouth. You've got yourself a growl. That's your 'death growl'. Now you can just alter the pitch, and make it sound "lower" or "higher". All humans are born with the ability to scream their heads off!!! Observe how babies do it using breath control, screaming for hours!!!! in pain/rage.............,HEH...HEEEAH,,,HE… Falsetto Scream hunger/frustrated.....NEN...NEEEAN...NEE… Nasal Scream tired/needed rest......OW....OOWW....OOWW.......Mid Scream clear congestion.......EH.. ..EHH,,,,EHHH................Forceful Chest Scream tummy ache/wind......URG..URGG....UURRGG......… Body Scream A death growl, also known as death metal vocals, guttural vocals, death grunts, unclean vocals, and harsh vocals among other names, is a vocalisation style usually employed by vocalists of the death metal and black metal music genres, but also used in a variety of heavy metal and hardcore punk subgenres. For Black Metal grim-style vocals, you simply growl with a higher pitch: hum in a high pitch than your normal voice, increase the volume, keep your tongue down, make a grim face (believe it or not - it helps), and open your mouth. Keep your head tilted up a bit. You've got yourself a grim voice. It might take some time to work on raising the pitch for some people. WARNING: PRACTICE SCREAMING WITH MODERATE VOICE. SLOWLY BUILD UP YOUR VOLUME TO AVOID DAMAGING VOCAL CORDS.

How to belt without shouting myself to death?

in

I can sing fairly well, and I really love belt type singing. Like Layne Staley of Alice in Chains. Anytime I try to belt a fairly high note it comes out very shouty, very nasally. It feels fine, I feel no pain or anything. I am singing from my diaphram and squeezing from there. Does it just take practice and time to make it sound good?

Answer: 
It doesnt take practice at all youre just singin the wrong way silly! Yes yes with your diaphram but dont strain your neck when you try to hit the high notes because then theyll come out strained or shouty! Also, pick a picture on the wall or something you can target and when you try to hit the high notes pretend like you want them to hit the target. This girl does it really good on her channel: www.youtube.com/musicbylydia

How to improve singing and pitch for a musical audition?

in

I'm auditioning for a school musical for the first time! (West Side Story!!) And I have to do an audition of a song from a musical. The thing is, I'm not too confident with my singing, but have a strong dream of being in a musical, even if it's just chorus. I'm a female, 14 (will be 15 at the audition) and an alto. I can hit some high notes, but I think it's best if I sing a song with very few. Any song ideas/voice improving techniques?

Answer: 
Take the pause and then, sing... Don't breath and sing from low to high... This is not how you naturally sing in the audition... Good luck!

How to Sing better when your only a young tween?

in

I'm a girl and I can kinda sing I love all genres but I need to find one. I have trouble hitting the high notes and I'm thinking about trying out for a solo in our concert. Any tips?

Answer: 
You should pick a song that goes with your voice and the notes you can easily manage. There are a lot of good songs that don't require you to hit too many high notes. Sing the easy songs for now and you'll get better with time. Gargle with warm salt water, it opens the throat up.
