GeneHilbert	Date: March 22, 2007 @ 3:01 PM Smooth....... Best tip - open your mouth and start yelling...... Hopefully somewhere near pitch and key... That's how I did it.

stat30fbliss	Date: March 29, 2007 @ 2:37 PM When I sing, I make sure I am pushing everything out with the diaphragm,(not your chest or lungs) and forming the notes with my vocal chords. Try your hardest to keep your nose sealed, so your words don't sound nasally. Finally, just really feel what your singing. I mean really feel it. And if you smoke, drink tea or something to loosen up before hand.

litesenseative	Date: March 29, 2007 @ 3:09 PM breathe and warm up (with some scales) properly before u start or you can mess up your throat which is painful umm.. never sing from the throat push the words out out from ur diaphragm.. rember making sure your understood i.e intonation is really important. and... get 1 or 2 lessons which will really help.

Saint	Date: March 31, 2007 @ 1:03 AM I agree with Gene on this...straight liquor works. In many ways.
Saint	Date: March 31, 2007 @ 1:06 AM I prefer vodka but tequila is the only alcohal that's a stimulant and not a deppresant so your less likely to pass out from drinking it
leflaw	Date: March 31, 2007 @ 1:08 AM stop smoking for a week. Don't have a cold. Put hour finger in in one ear if you can't hear yourself. BE SHARP, DON'T B Flat!!! (most people sing flat - shoot for OVER the note, not under it. ( sharp sound better than flat.) RELAX! Do some yoga. Practice scales and argeggios in all keys. DO RE Me fa so la ti do BREATH!
ShadowMom	Date: March 31, 2007 @ 1:09 AM I like to breathe. It's one of my favorite things.
leflaw	Date: April 24, 2007 @ 10:15 PM Use a "pop screen" infront of your mike. You can make one out of a wire hanger and a nylon stocking. It will eliminate the "PPP" sound that sounds like you spit on the front row at a concert. Really makes vocals sound better, especially if you use a good mike. Or get a real one made out of foam.

I have stagefright. Therefore I tend to get very nervous sometimes before a show. When you're tense and nervous, you have a tendency to sing sharp. I have to make a conscious effort when I am really nervous to keep my vocals a few cents lower than what my larynx wants to produce.
blacklieder	Date: April 25, 2007 @ 11:17 AM dafendabenda It would help if I heard an example of your singing. All your tracks are guitar solos. If you sing all of the time, you'll get better at it, I promise. Practice singing without playing first, then put the two together.
EvalLin	Date: April 25, 2007 @ 1:33 PM For practice, try singing other people's songs to warm up your voice.
