HOW TO SING BETTER USING MICROPHONE TECHNIQUES

First of all, a good distance to be from the karaoke microphone when your voice is soft to normal is one inch. This will seem like you are right on top of it, and you are, but you don’t want to ever touch it with your lips. You might get shocked! As the volume of your song gets louder, move the microphone away.

In the softer parts of the song, move it back closer to your mouth again. Moving the microphone in this way is like your volume knob. Moving it farther away turns down your volume. Moving it closer turns up your volume. If your karaoke microphone is on a stand while you are singing, instead of moving the mic closer and farther from your mouth, you move your body. The way to make this look natural is to stand with one foot slightly in front of the other.


When you inhale, push your stomach out. This will allow you to more completely fill your lungs. As you exhale, bring your stomach slowly in, using the muscles of your diaphragm (which is just under your ribcage) to control your tone.

Then, in the soft parts of the song, just lean forward a bit more onto your front foot. In the louder parts, move backward a bit onto your back foot.

Where should you point the karaoke microphone? Always point it toward your mouth. Never point it toward a speaker .

Another thing that causes feedback is curling your hand around the top of the microphone and be sure you don’t drop or bang the microphone.

First of all, make sure the microphone has ambient noise filters, which eliminate background noise. The next step is to determine if the frequency response is right for you: an average response would be around 100-12,000 Hz. A lightweight microphone is always better than a heavier and larger one.

Singing at your natural volume and find your natural volume. Many people sing too softly, out of shyness or embarrassment. This keeps them from being able to support a good tone. Others sing as loudly as possible, which can result in sharp or flat notes, as well as body tension. Singing at your natural volume and you will feel good.

How To Sing High Notes Easily

On this page are some great tips for how to sing high notes.
Before I give you these tips, I want to tell you a few things about how the voice works when you sing high into your range.
You may be familiar with a spot in your voice where everything seems to come apart. At this point, your voice tries to push higher, but all of a sudden, you loose all power and your tone quality completely changes.
This point in the voice is known as, “the break”.
To sing magnificent high notes, you need to learn to sing through the break in a smooth way, and *connect* with your voice on the other side
When you do this correctly, it’s called “singing through your bridges”. Now your voice actually has three or sometimes even four bridges, but once you get through the first one, things get much easier.
 In fact, many singers find it difficult to sing through their first bridge, and keep their voice together. If this is you, don’t worry… by the time you finish this article, you will know exactly how to sing through your bridges, completely effortlessly.
 So what’s happening when you come to your first bridge? And more important… what needs to happen to slide easily through this first bridge?
 To explain this, I want you to imagine you have a guitar in your hands. Now, if I asked you to play the highest note possible on your guitar, what would you do?
 I’ll take a guess that you would place your finger on the last string, as far up the fret board as possible. And you’d be right!
 When you sing, there is a very similar thing that happens. Your vocal cords actually have the ability to “fret the string” as it were, and shorten in length. What’s happening, is your vocal cords are forming a new muscle coordination… where there is less length of the vocal cord that is left to vibrate with the air.
 This new muscle coordination is what should happen (if you’re singing correctly) when you sing through your first bridge. When your cords shorten for the first time (singing through your first bridge), you move into a new vocal register called your “mixed voice”.
 If you can learn how to sing high notes in your mixed voice, you will be able to get power, great tone, and clarity on your highest notes.

How To Sing High Notes-Tip 1

When you move up into your first bridge correctly, you must understand that you will loose most of the sensation that you feel in your throat.

This is a very important point.
It seems that you should feel sensation in your throat no matter what note you are singing right? After all, that’s where your sound comes from right? Well, this is not true.
 This is the type of thinking that causes singers to “break” every time they go for a high note. They try and “hold onto that sensation” and this stops their vocal cords from making the correct adjustments.
What you need to do, is *allow* your voice to *let go* as you sing higher. When you do this correctly, it will actually feel like your voice has *lifted* into your head.

How To Sing High Notes-Tip 2

Try singing on the word “Gug”. Use a scale that takes you up past your “breaking point”. 
The word “gug” seems to have a quality that allows the voice to “release” as you sing higher. It stops you from “grabbing” at your voice, and releases you into your higher vocal range.
 Some other words that are worth trying are:

"Go"

"Now"

"Goo"

"No"
 Try singing with all these words and see which one allows your voice to *let go* and move into your upper vocal register.
When you find one that works, stick with it! Use it as a tool to get to know your higher range. When you know how to sing high notes easily with a certain word, then try a new word.
