4 Simple Tips to Solve Common Singing Problems


Most aspiring singers face some common singing problems while learning or practicing different pitches and techniques. If you are blessed with a great voice and are learning how to sing through books and online lessons as opposed to learning from a vocal instructor, chances are that you could be making critical mistakes. This does not mean that online lessons do not teach you how to avoid mistakes and overcome problems, it just means that there could be things that you are not doing right. Some of the common singing problems are inability to sing high notes, singing falsetto instead of a vibrato, inability to stay in tune, and getting tired after singing only a few notes. If you are struggling with any of these things, this article will provide a series of solutions that will help you sing in tune.

The root cause of all these problems is incorrect singing technique. It is difficult for novice singers to follow notes and sing in tune because of a lack of practice. Over a period of time, this problem gets solved on its own. Here are some helpful suggestions for singing problems:

1. Practice: Do you know that even professional singers take the help of vocal gurus and instructors to help maintain and expand the range of their voice? You can master the correct singing technique only if you spend enough time practicing. Learn the different musical scales and spend a few hours every day singing. Participate in online forums, listen to helpful videos on YouTube and how to websites to determine pain points in your singing and work on these areas.

2. Take a proper diet: Believe it or not, people who take excess alcohol, caffeine or even frozen desserts risk drying the vocal chords. Cut down on dairy products to avoid mucus build up. Any of these situations can affect the quality of your voice. Singing problems from these reasons can make your throat dry, resulting in a raspy voice or an echo.

3. Learn to differentiate between different voices: Singing voices are divided into four categories - alto, bass, tenor, and soprano. Visit a music teacher to find the category your voice falls under and work on the singing style most suited to your voice. Some women have the natural ability to sing soprano (the highest notes on the musical scale used for operatic singing) while some can sing bass well. While singing styles can be developed over a period of time, sticking to what your voice is best suited for will help you in learning the skill quickly.

4. Deep breathing: Singing problems such as not being able to sing high notes and fatigue result from incorrect or shallow breathing. Deep breathing can help you hold notes for a longer period of time because it helps increase the air capacity of the lungs and also cleans the airways for a clear, solid sound.

Just like any other skill such as dancing or painting, singing also requires hard work, patience and tolerance. Listen to your music teacher - they have tons of experience and will teach you valuable lessons, tips, and techniques that will help you in developing a professional singing career. Singing problems are a teething issue that even the most famous singers faced!
