i really enjoy singing and i want improve
i think i do some things wrong.
-first of all i am trying to breathe out of my diaphram, but i don't really understand how to do so...
-i want to improve my range, and i'm wondering if there is anything i can do to work on this? and i really want to learn how to sing runs and belt out songs
-also my voice is kind of weak and cracks at times and i'm wondering if there are any ways to strengthen it
-and my throat often hurts and i get really tired after singing a song and i don't think this is normal

so if anybody knows any ways to fix these problems or can find out any information, please let me know because i'd really like to improve! (link)
to work on your diaphram -
stand up totally straight - then bend over so that your back is completley flat ( like a table) if you want - you can use a wall to stablize yourself. then sing a note that you know you can hit. being in this position forces you to sing from your diaphram - and then you will know what it feels like.

to improve your range -
well first if you learn to properly breath your range will almost instantly get slightly bigger - and the rest comes from pratice -
sing a song thats "belty" a la christina aguleria perhaps? and after enough time - you'll be able to hit the notes. I've found that if you record yourself - you can hear exactly what your doing wrong- and then work on that particular area.
this will all strengthen your voice over time.


your throat is probably hurting because your not drinking enough - and dont drink cold water - its best to have it at room temperature

hope i helped!
best of luck!

Jenna
