Singing Tips - How to sing like American Idol ?

If you have watched the show American Idol on television, you have noticed a variety of singers waiting in line to audition for the "opportunity of a lifetime." For various reasons, the show has aired some "singers" that sang off key. These "singers" were ridiculed by the judges of American Idol in front of millions of people on television.

"Do not let this discourage you! If you want to sing correctly, you should start by training your voice. "

A variety of vocal exercises can help you develop your breath control and strengthen your vocal range (some vocal Class can help). You should also practice singing acappella (without musical accompaniment). While you do this, try to record yourself as this will help develop your "ear" for music. Also, try to perform in front of an audience as much as often as possible (even if your audience is only mom and dad). This will help you get over your stage fright.

Auditions Tips - GETTING PAST THE FIRST 30 SECONDS

GETTING PAST THE FIRST 30 SECONDS
During an audition or performance situation it is some times necessary to introduce yourself. Be sure to get started on the right foot because sometimes you only have thirty seconds to make an impression. Practice introducing yourself in front of the mirror and analyze your first impression-no matter how silly you feel. Learn from opinions, but do what feels right.

TIP #1 - State your name, don't ask it. Have you ever heard those introductions that make you wonder - is that their name or are they asking me? Practice your delivery tone and make sure your inflection does not rise at the end of the sentence making it sound like an inquiry.

TIP #2 - Slow down. Nerves can often cause you to speed up your speech pattern without you even knowing it. Before you begin speaking, take a deep breath and then speak slowly and clearly with good articulation.

TIP #3 - Mind your body language. Don't fidget. Stand comfortably with one foot slightly in front of the other, with the weight on the balls of your feet. Your arms and hands should remain relaxed by your side unless effective hand motions are being done.

TIP #4 - Eye contact. Look confident, even if you don't feel quite that way underneath. Make good eye contact with your audience. If you are not comfortable with making eye contact, try looking just over the audience's head. When using this technique they will often think you are talking/singing directly to them.
