Build Confidence With Singing Voice Lessons

By Pamela C Smith


When one starts taking singing voice lessons, the first major hurdle you encounter is stage freight. Singing in front of a group of other people is one task that most of us would rather not do. What if they don't like your voice? What if you do not impress? What if..what if. Basically, this self doubt makes most of us to feel discouraged. Good news is that even the most successful of singers started here. Note too that this fear does not go away overnight. You need to slowly learn to build confidence while you learn to sing.

A certain set of spoken and unspoken rules apply as you train your voice. This is so as to avoid injuries to the vocal cords, and to learn effectively and fast. One must also be well equipped with tips on how to sing, to effectively assimilate the lessons. This is partly why we need these voice lessons.

Can anyone learn to sing? This is a question that most people would want an answer to. Some of us shy away from the voice lessons because we feel like we are either too old to sing, or we are too hoarse in our voices, or we simply lack what it takes. But the truth is that anyone can learn to sing. This is because singing is a learned skill just like playing ball or writing. All one needs is a good coach and guide.

Whether you have a great voice and know how to read music notes or not, voice lessons are necessary. They help you to improve and boost your singing efforts as well as building your confidence. During these lessons, you learn to strengthen your vocals, breath properly and also reduce stress during singing.

You learn how to hit both low and high notes, on top of being able to develop your own unique singing style. You also learn how to avoid hurting your vocal chords as you attempt to hit these notes and gain uniqueness. The lessons give you an insight in to your target audience for your style, preparing you for performances that will impress your audience.

When you start your lessons, you will have your coach as your audience. This one person audience encourages you and corrects you. You also get a confidence boost. To continue the training, start with small presentations. These can be in form of family gatherings (very ideal because they wont criticize you so much and will give you a good boost of confidence), or small gigs with smaller audiences. With these, you will be able to test your learning in an actual performance setting. They also help you to learn how to react in case you make a mistake.

Important to note is that you should have a professional voice coach for your lessons. He will be able to give you all the necessary training and advise you need to become an accomplished singer. Remember to take good care of your vocal chords and your body in general by eating healthy and getting enough rest. Always warm up before singing, practice regularly while learning your unique style. Above all, learn to enjoy the singing voice lessons and you will benefit the most.
