How to Strengthen My Voice?

Question

Right now I'm 18 and I have dreams of becoming a singer. Throughout my teenage years, I've always had a lot of trouble with finding my voice and singing in a comfortable tone. Over the years I was able to teach myself how to sing and now I've found my tone, but not my vocal ability. Lately, Ive been singing, trying to stretch my vocals, and my voice is starting to hurt a bit. I'm not yelling, I just don't think that I'm used to hitting notes. What should I eat, drink, and do to my voice to keep it healthy and strengthen it?

Scales and vocal exercises do wonders!

Answer 6

even before you speak in the morning you should do you vocal exercises. When you speak speak softly dont eat or drink to much dairy it tends to clog you up. If your voice starts to hurt possibly you are not breathing right. But drink some warm tea and i always keep honey in my bag. When you are doing your warm ups the second you feel stain come back down eventually you will get higher and louder.

Answer 7

Always breathe into your diaphragm and raise the soft palatte in the back of your mouth before you sing. Try raising your eyesbrows too, especially when hitting the high notes. Drink lots of water of course and eat fruits, vegetables, and protein. Milk isn't the best usually. Good luck! =]
