Need help with singing... relaxation...

So excited to see this group exists!

 

I am just learning to use my voice and sing.  I have been told by most that I have a decent voice (I won't be quiting my day job) and that it would be even better if I could just let go and relax.  Funny thing, the more I am told to relax the more I tense up.  It is frustrating cause I can feel me holding back.

 

Any tips or techniques to letting go and singing out loud?

 

Anyone gotten over this challenge?

 

Any insight would be appreciated.

 

Tracie

I found that taking lesson helped me a lot. However, I was not doing well financially at one point, so I had quit lessons. 

 

I found, however, that for me, there are certain songs that I can sing that well compared to others. I am good with singing high notes. I think that you should find what you are comfortable with singing and go with that for now. Then, you can build on your skills. Also, try to find lessons if you can afford them with a nice, honest professional.

You have to learn to relax. - added: Mon, Feb 23 06:11 AM

I've been singing in Metro Detroit local music scene for about 2 years now, first in a band and now just on my own with my guitar. I like the solo thing better. SO anyway you got some stage fright. OUCH.

 

Alright now this is something that worked for me.

 

The first thing you do is picture yourself singing that song. Your like Beyonce on stage you singing your ass off, the notes are perfect and everyone loves it!!!!!!!!!!

 

Once your pumped up and its in your head you now have Confidence!!!! and that the key to a great stage pressence.

 

Now that worked for me, I thought about how I wanted the songs to sound and focused on that instead of the crowd.

 

Dont get frusterated if something goes bad, because it will trust me Ive had plenty of crap shows.

 

My first show with my band I was sooooo nervious and screwed up everything that came out of my mouth. I thought I would never get on a stage again.

 

But then the next show came up and I thought about everything I did wrong and thought about what I wanted it to sound like........ and I did it!!!!!

 

It was the best show ever!!!!

 

So think about what you want to sound like

that will help you to relax and just do it.

 

Oh and the other thing I almost forgot

 

SING OUT IN PUBLIC ALOT

 

Go to Kareoke if you can and sing as many things as you can, and dont be affraid to try things with your voice, if you fuck up OH WELL just do it again. AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGIAN!!!!!!

 

Before you know it you'll be singing like a champ!!!!!Laughing
