Hey
Singers.. are they born with a great singing voice? or do they have to train it, and what about people who werent born with singing voices, but are training it, would it have any chance of sounding good?? and can you give me some singing tips/exercises. Especially how to do VIBRATO and vocal Riffing. Please + thankyou!

Some people are born with a natural singing voicebox, and some are born with potential. Some are born with a normal, voice voicebox. But no-one is born without a talent to sing. So to start off with, I'm sure you can sing.

Even the greatest of singers need practice and training. From controlling your stomach muscles, to controlling your diaphragm. Using a chest voice, throat voice or head voice. Training your singing voice long enough, you're sure to get to a somewhat great singing voice.

In terms of tips and exercises. The trick is to reach every semitone within your range, and understand what your body is doing to perfectly reach that note. Try expanding your range, up and down. Jump 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, etc, this will help with actually singing.

Vibrato is often called voice wobbling, and, to me, it couldn't be taught. It was something I picked up on my own, and if someone tried to teach it to me, I wouldn't be able to understand how to articulate it. I guess with Vibrato, it's a bit like swallowing, but not really. Practice and exercise for this would be just to find a note that you're comfortable with singing, and applying that throat action to it.

Riffing is the difficult one. A singer must be very confident with their other aspects of singing. Riffing is a very specific type of singing, and is usually developed through specialized singing lessons.

I hope this has helped even a little, and good luck with your singing!
