Q&A for How to Learn to Sing

Try taking in a deep breath down into your ribs, and hold your rib cage out. That can stabilize your breath and therefore your voice.

Warm up your voice, then hum down and drop your voice as low as it can go. The lowest note you can hum that still sounds clear is the bottom of your range. Then, hum up as high as you can go. The highest note that you can hold for 3 seconds is the top of your vocal range.

Try humming or singing as high as you can, then slowly go as low as you can. Keep singing up and down your range for a few minutes. High notes expand your vocal cords, while low notes shrink them, so this can help stretch out your vocal cords to make them more pliable.

When you're singing, then about standing tall. Imagine your spine and the back of your head extending all the way up to the sky. However, try to stay loose, as well.

You can become a much better singer by simply practicing. Just a few warm-ups in the shower daily can make a big difference. Practice your vowels; they are so important. Do this by dropping your jaw and elongating your vowels, to have better breath control. Your tone will improve as well.

Your ear picks up the sound of your voice through the vibrations in your skull. Sounds travel differently through bone than through air. The recording is how you actually sound to other people.

Start practicing the way you breathe when you hit the high notes. Lighten your voice because it is much easier to hit high notes when you sing softly.

Always listen to what you are singing. You can achieve this easily by either plugging one of your ears with your finger or putting your hand in front of your mouth. Do not cover it though. Then, change your pitch slightly until you are certain that you are singing in the right key.

You can find online exercises for this, especially increasing your upper range by learning the "mixed voice" register. However, it's easy to strain your voice if you don't know how to use your muscles properly. It's best to ask a vocal coach for guidance, or to learn the amazing things you can do with your current range.

It all depends on how much you practice singing.

Place your hand flat against your abdomen, where you diaphragm is, and imagine pushing your voice out through this area instead of your mouth. Takes practice, but it becomes easier the more you do it.

Practice everyday, drink a lot of water, and do a lot of breathing exercises.

Figure out what you did wrong and practiced over and over. There are times where you may have followed every step but still sing the wrong note. That's perfectly fine. You can't expect to hit the right notes on the first try. Remember to follow the basic steps before you start singing.

Anyone can learn to sing higher-pitched as it takes practice. How long would it take just depends on how much you've been practicing and it varies. Some singers have practiced for a long time while not famous singers (who can still sing) have began singing with little practice. Some are natural while others need more practice. It's important for you to go with your own pace and do not feel discourage.

If the apps tell you to practice, help find your range, and have breathing exercises, then yes.

If you want to sing, you can't learn on your own! If you think you will really stay committed to it, then ask your parents for singing lessons. You can also join a choir either in your community or at your school.

You can't be an expert at everything. It takes many years to become an expert at just one thing. Choose one to a few things that are especially important or interesting to you, and focus on learning about/practicing those things as much as possible over the years if you want to develop expertise in those areas. However, even if you can't be an expert at everything, you can still learn about a wide variety of things and have good general knowledge. See How to Increase Your General Knowledge .
