How to Improve Your Singing Voice: Tips and Techniques

Hey bestie! So you want to sing like a star but right now, you kinda sound like a cat stuck in a toaster? No worries! I’m here to help you improve your singing voice with some totally funny tips. You’ll be belting out tunes before you know it and your friends will be like “Whoa, who’s this new Beyonce?” Okay, maybe not that, but we can dream right?

1. Warm up those vocal cords

Okay, so first things first. You can’t just jump into a song like you’re diving into a pool of jelly. That jelly is cold, my friend. So warm up! You gotta stretch those vocal cords. Try humming like a bee or making silly sounds like “meow” or “woof.” People might think you’re crazy but hey, they always do anyway!

2. Stay hydrated!

You know how plants need water? Well, your voice needs water too! So drink lots of water before you sing. And no, soda doesn’t count! Sorry to break the news, but if you try singing on a belly full of root beer… well… let’s just say bubbles and high notes don’t mix very well.

3. Find your range

Do you even know what range means? Not the one where the grass grows or something weird like that. It means figuring out how high and low you can go when singing! Try hitting different notes and see where your voice feels comfy. If you’re trying to hit super high notes and sound like a squeaky toy… maybe stick to something more your style.

4. Practice makes perfect

So everyone says practice is key. But I mean really practice—don’t just sing in the shower while shampooing your hair for five minutes then call it a day. Grab some karaoke tracks and go all out! I mean really show off those bathroom performances because nothing says ‘star’ quite like belting at the top of your lungs while brushing your teeth.

5. Record yourself

But wait—this is super scary! Yes I know but hear me out! Record yourself singing—even if it sounds horrible at first (and we both know it probably will). Then listen back and laugh at yourself like crazy *insert evil laugh here*. This helps you hear where you need improvement without having someone judging your every note (looking at you mom).

6. Take deep breaths

So deep breathing is super important for singers because…guess what? YOU NEED AIR TO SING!!! Wild concept huh? When you take deep breaths from your belly (not just tiny sips from your chest) it’ll make those high notes sound way better instead of sounding like you’re about to faint from singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.”

7. Sing songs that make ya happy

And last but not least—choose songs that make ya wanna dance around with joy! If you’re trying to sing sad songs all the time, guess what will happen? You might trip over an emotional banana peel or cry while hitting terrible notes…. No one wants that drama in their life!

Okay, so now that we’re done with those hilarious steps let’s dive into some fun questions!
