singing


Question Posted Tuesday January 17 2006, 5:29 pm

There's this huge show next month at school, and I volunteered to sing Carrie Underwood's "Jesus Take the Wheel". I know I can do it, I'm already halfway there perfecting it, but I need some tips. Can anyone who knows much about this subject give me great tips? Mostly including tone, airflow, and lots of vibrato? Thanks in advance.

hey dearie! first off: break a leg!
now, try not to over exert yourself until the performances. don't drink or eat anything chocolate or with dairy in it. sugary things are bad as well. basicly, stick to water for a couple of hours before. after(or the days before), if your throat hurts take a spoonful of honey and eat it raw or put it in tea (another couple of things to avoid the day of your performance)
to loosen your palatte and tounge before, stick your thumb onto your palatte or under your chin while warming up. open your mouth while singin for better sound and tone.

xoxo

You should keep practicing, but don't over do it. Do breathing excercises.. Breathe in and let it out for 10 seconds.
also to make you pronounce better, try singing. "Red leather, yellow leather, blue leather, yellow leather." i now it sounds weird, ut i'm a singer and it works.
Also try sing.
1,
12
123
1234 and so on until 19 going to a higher pitch with each number.
hope it helps.
good luck!

Lo

make sure you breathe at the right times and SUPPORT. use your diaphragm. also, open your mouth at least two fingers wide when you sing. those are just a few tips i can give you from voice lessons. don't worry too much about that stuff though..you will probably sound great! just make sure you know the song.

well i dont know much about the topic but heres some personal advice from me--
dont be afraid to not sing it exactly like carrie underwood, put your on spin on it, ive heard that song and i think a different style on it would be great. so try some new things out and see how it sounds.

hope i helped you out a little bit, and good luck!!!!! ♥!

Just do not over do it. after you perfect the song singing normally then add the fancy stuff.
