Question

Answer 1

The key to being a good singer (and I say singer NOT performer - as there are more things to add to being a performer)  is to have a good balance of sound.  You need a mixture of dark and light sounds - loud and soft - rich and airy, etc.  The main way I know to do this is to learn which parts of your body need to be working and which need to be totally relaxed.  Singing is actually quite a physical action and requires a lot of work from your main torso.  A height in your cheeks and palette needs to be contrasted with a relaxation of your lips, tongue and jaw.  Similarly, a relaxation of your shoulders, stomache and diaphragm need to be contrasted with a hight in your chest to allow for easy, full breathing.  Everything I know about singing has to do with a contrast of ideas and a good medium between them all.  Hope this helps!

Answer 2

do u noe abt placement? tone and quality of sound often depends on where u place ur voice. for a light, pure sound, ur voice should reverberate in ur head. for a heavy, dark sound it should ring in ur chest. the stepping stone to getting a gd sound is nasalizing ur voice by speaking thru ur noise (wrinkle it). however, this is not an ideal sound on its own, further training betters the sound and makes it rounder. u nd to focus to keep ur sound from being dispersed. also, if u want a round sound (considered the ideal), maximise the space in ur mouth. oh, and, dear, if u REALLY want to improve, get some professional help. stuff ppl type online is only so helpful. u nd to hear examples and one-to-one explanation.
