Improving a singing voice.
I'm a beginner I guess.
I'll love any good websites that improve a singing voice, warm ups, breathing tips, throat remedies..
And if you have any tips yourself.. :]
I'll also like to know what songs are easy to start with. Someone suggested songs from Wicked?
Thanks :]

Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
Breathing tip: remember to breathe. I'm serious. It's not pretty when someone doesn't breathe and they faint right there on the stage. It can happen. Remember to breathe deep while you can. But as for singing... Sing as much as you can and you will improve. Sing different styles and different speeds. The songs don't matter. But don't be shy about it. I know everyone wants to hear your awesome voice. Hope I helped!

Hey! I have been in chorus for 4 years.
A couple key things:
1.sing from your diaphragm(right under your ribs) not your throat.
2.sit up staight and tall with both feet on the floor.
Somesongs from wicked are VERY VERY hard. Popular is kind of easy but it has a fast tempo and goes from high tolow fast.
If you have any friends who sing try sining this song with them it's a duet (kind of)
One short day
its pretty easy its from wicked.
hope i helped!

if you get good at the "red leather" try adding on to it, it is a warm up i do with my vocal coach
"red leather yellow leather, good blood, bad blood" faster each time
Wicked, is NOT easy to start with, i am in 8th grade now, i have been in chorus since 5th grade, and i have a vocal coach, and i still cant get songs right.
ask a chorus teacher at your school for some good beginner stuff, and if you can, join choir.
As for breathing, if sitting, sit feet flat on the floor, back away from the chair, head up, neck striaght, and breathe with your diaphram.
if your shoulders move up when you breath, you are doing it wrong.
If you need more tips, just ask back :)

I don't know if its too late to help, but I just wanted to say that the songs from Wicked tend to go high then low quickly which can be difficult for especially beginner voices. Also they tend to need a very powerful voice. Many showtunes are like this, you may want to work your way up to Wicked songs. Its really gratifying when you master one.
One warm up is to sing "red leather yellow leather red leather yellow leather red leather yellow leather red" really fast. Its difficult at first, but it gets your mouth nice and loose. Another one is "the tip of the tounge, the teeth, the lips" You sing that and keep going higher/lower with it. Make sure you pronounce all the sylables clearly. Singing scales is a good way to warm up.
When you're singing, if you're sitting, sit up straight and at the front of your chair, make sure your feet are flat on the ground. If you're standing (which does tend make your voice sound better) stand straight, feet flat on the ground, shoulders back, head level, feet hip-width apart. Don't slouch. If you are going for a high note, look down. It stretches your vocal chords and makes it easier for you to hit the note.
When you breathe, make sure that your shoulders do not move. Your abdomen should be the only thing expanding.
You have probably heard of "singing through your nose", but how do you know when you're doing it? Well, if you pinch your nose and sing and your nose buzzes, then you are singing through your nose. Try different techniques of breathing until your nose doesn't buzz anymore.
ALWAYS warm up before you sing. Increase your range gradually, don't go for a note that is really far out of your range, it could damage your voice. Hope I helped. Good Luck on your singing.

hey, ive been in chorus for 6 years and I know a lot of warmups,
theres zingmama zingamama zingamama zing zing zing and you go faster and faster
or do re mi fa so la ti do ti la so fa me re do
and then keep going faster with that
any way you can use those notes really.
my chorus teacher in middle school use to play the apples and bananas song from barney if u kno that =]
just use good diction while singing and project your voice
good luck! =]

Many songs from Wicked are really high so they may be easy if you have that type of voice. I am an alto and don't have that high belting voice.
My biggest tip is to get a voice coach if at all possible. He or she will be able to hear your voice and make suggestions specfic to your style.

for a throat remedy use this:
dissolve-
lemon juice from half a lemon (squeezed out of a lemon not from a bottle)
asprin
salt (sea salt)
into warm water and gargle for 30 seconds.
The song Popular from Wicked is easy to sing.
