“Sing like you speak!” “Singing’s like talking!” “For better singing just speak it!” Have you heard these directions before? Is it really that simple to learn to sing? Inside this video I’ve give you 4 tips to
help you learn to sing like you speak. Also, I’ll give you 4 ways singing is not
like speaking. Your singing success is just a spoken word
away. Come and see. Hi, I’m Chuck Gilmore with Power To Sing. Do you really sing like you speak? According to Music Man’s Professor Harold
Hill, Yes! First, here are 4 ways singing is NOT like
speaking. You don’t speak on a melody. You don’t speak with extreme changes in
pitch. Generally you don’t speak with large variations
in loudness or softness. You don’t have the same breathing or phrasing
demands when speaking vs singing. If you speak normally, here are 4 ways singing
IS like speaking. Also, here’s 4 tips to help you learn to
sing like you speak. When you speak your vocal cords stay connected. It should be the same way when you sing, throughout
your range, low to high. Here’s a tip to keep adducted cords as you
sing higher. If your vocal cords break, use this exercise
to train them to stay connected. [Demo] When you speak your vocal cords balance with
the airflow from your lungs. Your vocal cords are not too tight, nor too
loose. If they’re too tight use Bubble lips as
just shown. If too loose, try this: ae ae ae .Then say
the words in the song and add the melody without changing your vocal cords. [Demo] Ask: Does it feel like I’m speaking? Don’t change things just because you’ve
added a melody. [Demo] It’s very much like I’m talking. When you speak, your larynx rests comfortably
low. It should be the same when you sing. Here’s a tip to lower a high larynx. [Demo] When you speak, words are easily produced
and understood. It should be the same when you sing. Tip: If when you sing higher your words splat,
[Demo] or you have to cover like this [Demo] , or over-manufactured the words or tone [Demo]
If you do any of these things, the first 3 tips already mentioned will help and you can
also narrow the vowel like this. [Demo] Do these things and your singing will sound
natural and easy. You’ll sing freely while connecting powerfully
with your audience. Why? Because it will sound and feel like you. Audiences know when they’re hearing an artificial
and manufactured voice. They quickly lose interest and never connect
with you, your voice or your story. You just don’t feel real or honest. There’s no vulnerability. Learning your vocal type and doing exercises
specifically for your vocal type will help eliminate vocal weaknesses and help you to
be more speech-like or natural. Do you know your vocal type? Go to PowerToSing.com and take the vocal test
which I call the PowerTest. Take the quiz and discover your vocal type. Then go to the Knowledge Center and watch
