i like singing taylor swift and other voices similar, like soft and airy so its easier to play along with guitar. anyway, some warm up tips would be helpful and just advice in general. is it good to drink liquers before you sing????
thanks so much curiousv, that did help.
to avoid singing in a nasal way- open your throat, imagine a drainpipe through your throat- allowing you to open up and project also. instead of a straw that alot of people try to sing through. block your ears and breathe slowly but normally-if you can hear your breathing, your throat isnt open as wide as it could be.this also helps to prevent you from losing your voice or getting a sore singing throat.
blow raspberries- if you know what i mean..vibrate your lips together. while doing this, put your hand on your head- u should be able to feel the vibration coming through the top of your head-if not then your not using your voice box properly- singing should be coming from deep down-not just from your mouth.
p.s- drinking some herbal tea with honey in is good for your throat and helps to clear it. Also peppermints, as you know, help to clear your nose and throat therefore allowing your voice project without difficulty.
hope this helped
