For all of these vocal exercises provided by me on my website, as well as by all your readers out there, do make sure that you breathe well for singing and support your voice well with your breath, producing a well-balanced voice with a good mix of breath and sound! Do practise some simple breathing exercises if you need to strengthen your breath support for singing.
The various voice training exercises will only be effective if we are able to use a balanced voice during our training sessions, as an overly airy voice would mean that we are not engaging the vocal cords and their muscles properly, whereas an overly tight and strained voice would mean that we are using too much force and friction when we are singing!
Do also take note that our jaw, throat and chin should all be suitably relaxed during our voice training practices, as any strain in these parts would lead us to develop unhealthy singing habits!
There will be many music resources as well as vocal sound clips uploaded on this website to guide you in your vocal training at home. These are meant only to be a guide and are not meant to replace proper vocal training by a trained vocal coach, which will certainly be preferable.
An IMPORTANT note for ALL to adhere to strictly: If you should find that your voice or throat starts to hurt during your vocal training sessions, STOP your vocal exercises and REST your voice immediately! This will help you to avoid any vocal damage that might occur during your self-practice.
Do also take good care of your voice by taking note of various good and bad singing foods as well as voice care tips, as these will help you to take care of your voice before, during and after your vocal training.
There are also many pitching exercises for singing available on this website for you to practise with, so that you would be able to master various song repertoire and difficult pitches with ease!
Vocal Exercises, if done properly and safely, would be able to achieve the desired effect and help you to develop a healthy and great singing voice!
