Voice Training Tips

By -

There are numerous people within our world that absolutely love to sing and are grasped by the proposal of training their voice.
Celebrate the gift of singing you have, as all of our voices are unique and beautiful in their own way. Enjoy your time practicing and training your voice!!

Learning to care for the voice is a must for all singers. Vocal care and hygiene is a necessity. If the voice is pushed too hard by improper singing from the throat or a lack of breath support or singing without awareness, damage to the vocal chords can result. If you push your voice and over-work it, not only can Laryngitis occur, but nodes or vocal burn can impact the vocal chords, often requiring a need for total vocal rest, sometimes lasting several weeks.

If you want to keep your voice in good shape, extend your range, learn to manage your breath, have more stability in your voice and more access to a variety of emotions... sing scales that you like and work on them daily. Vocal exercises are a requirement for all vocalists.


What is a Singing Scale?
Scales are a series of notes that go up or down in pitch and have a distinctive, regular pattern. If you sing Mary Had A Little Lamb using just those first four words and you repeat them at different pitch levels (going higher and going lower), you will have an elementary type of singing scale. Most scales are not so melodious. 

Daily Vocal Exercises Have a Hidden Benefit
Overall, singing scales is an important part of learning about your voice, developing your voice and keeping your voice in good shape. But there is another less obvious benefit to these exercises. When you sing them daily, you are learning how to maintain presence, physical and mental co-ordination and inner awareness. You are also working out the voice as a weight lifter works out the muscles when lifting. Regular practice and repetitive scale work allows you to maintain your skill on stage, performing well, even when you are not in good health or when other conditions are not optimal.

Scales are Fun and Energizing 
When you learn scale and do regular scale work, it helps to build confidence and exercises your vocal muscle. You will succeed far better if you practice the scales regularly so that your voice has the opportunity to sing all of the notes in all of the key configurations that you could ever possibly encounter in a song.

Do’s and Don’ts of Praise and Worship – By Philip Renner

1 . In your prayer time, ask God what He wants to say during the worship . When choosing songs, resist the temptation to select songs just based on their sound — whether they ’ re energetic or mellow. Instead, ask God to give you a vision for what He wants to do in the worship service . Write it down and prepare for it just as seriously as you would if you were preaching the sermon . Lead every worship service as if it ’ s the greatest opportunity of your life! 2 . Use the Scriptures during worship . The Bible is the foundation of our faith and should therefore not be neglected during worship. One great way to use the Scripture is at the beginning of the praise and worship segment to bring a word of encouragement to people . In doing this , you ’ re directing people ’ s attention to God and His Word . Their minds may be burdened and full of anxiety and care, but as they begin to look at Jesus , their focus is changed, and it’ s easier to lead them into the presence of God...

Every Praise, Every Nation

All nations whom Thou has made shall come and worship before Thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify Thy name. For Thou art great and doest wondrous deeds; Thou alone art God. I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And will glorify Thy name forever . (Psalm 86:9-10; 12 NASB) Of all of the uncertainties of life, all the things we can potentially worry about, all the things and people we can never be sure of, there is one thing we CAN always be sure of; and that is God is God . He was God in the beginning and He will be God at the end. God's Word gives us every assurance of that. I love the book of Isaiah because all through that book God is speaking of Himself; He's letting us know unquestionably that He is God and there is none other than Him. That fact alone gives us reason enough to praise Him. The above passage reminds us not only did God make the nations but all of them will worship Him. They will give glory to His name. But the...
