310: How To Use Different Textures In Your Voice - How To Be A Good Singer

To a singer, there are so many important factors that determine your career in music. Growing up, I believed that there was only one avenue to singing. That path was called stardom. Unfortunately, most singers will never become famous nor even have their voices heard in public. The most extraordinary voices are known to be the ones that are behind the scenes. The real question is what type of singer are you? Are you the singer who performs in a choir at church or at school? Are you aspiring to sing on Broadway, sings classically in major concert halls, in a band on a late night show, or even a singer for commercial jingles? There are places in the world for all singers. Unfortunately, most singers belong in a karaoke bar.

What now? If someone tells you that you have no hope as a singer, do you melt down and never sing again? If you get turned down from American Idol, does that mean you have no singing capabilities? The answer is maybe. Some people are seeking a professional singing career without taking the baby steps that teach them to walk in greatness. Before you do anything in life, you must remember STEPS. Following the steps in any process require patience and understanding. You must first realize that nothing comes overnight. Most great singers did not learn how to sing overnight.

You must take the first step of admitting that you are probably not a fantastic singer. It's almost like being in AA meeting, or any self help group for that matter. Recognize that there could be a problem. Majority of the time, we can fix our vocals habits and weaknesses. It is almost impossible to find the perfect singer. There are the very few gifted, and the very many who work hard to train their voices.
