Many people want to know how to have a beautiful singing voice. It's been said by great instrumentalists that they wonder about the personal enjoyment of making beautiful music using the only internal instrument, their voice. It would bring them a sense of joy to be able to express themselves by singing. Here are a couple of tips to having a beautiful voice.
1. Relax your tongue- Beautiful voices sound so beautiful because they sound relaxed. In order to sound relaxed several things need to be happening simultaneously. The great thing is, some things happen as a side effect of other things happening. For example, when one learns to relax their tongue to sing, it allows teaches them to relax their throat. Once the throat is relaxed, it is no longer supporting the voice, the breath is, which is exactly what every singer wants to do. Also, once the throat is relaxed, it allows one to take deeper, fuller breaths, which allows the singer to engage the diaphragm, which is a thin muscle between your lungs and abdominal muscles that pulls air in the lungs and supports air pressure as one exhales. Learning to relax the tongue can be as simple as singing a favorite tune while wiggling the tongue back and forth. This exercise teaches one to focus on air flow and placement rather than having an emphasis on a 'holding' the tongue or throat in place to sing.
2. Sing in your 'happy' tone. Beginner singers will quickly realize that singing exactly the way you talk may sound a bit rough. 'Lift' the voice a little to make it sound more musical. To demonstrate this, one can imagine the musical theater of the 1960's and earlier. I like to envision Julie Andrews in movie "The Sound of Music". The actors in those days spoke with a sing- song tone. The sing- song sound is a result of 'lifting' the voice. It is able to project more. Using this method of voice production, it is easy to understand how they were able to break out into song at any given moment without missing a beat!
While singing with a beautiful voice may seem like a distant goal for many beginner singers, it is possible with dedication and practice. Beautiful voices have grace, flexibility, strength, control, and agility. In time, using these vocal techniques will transform your voice into something beautiful.
