How can i excercise my voice so i can learn to sing a little betta lol?

Question:Here's a first voice mini-lesson for you! This is what I teach my students during the first few weeks!

1. Breathing. Make sure you are taking nice deep breaths. To check this, squat or plie during warm-ups. When you breathe in your low ab muscles should drop (due to lowering the center of gravity). Your belly and back will expand! Every breath should feel like that when you sing!

2. Singing posture. Make sure you are standing with your feet shoulder width apart, back/neck/head are aligned, and your chin is not sticking out. When men (and some women) sing high, they unknowingly stick their neck out to "reach" for the high notes. Make sure your head stays straight and your chin is parallel to the ground.

3. Do warm-ups that stretch your cords gradually. Start in your low range and work your way up. Make sure you are changing to your head voice when getting in the upper part of your range. You can stretch your vocal cords by pushing them by half-step higher every day you practice. Whatever you do, listen to your body, and if your throat feels strained, stop!

A few warm-ups include singing 5 notes up and down on an open hum. What I mean by open hum is that there is space between your back teeth, but your lips are closed. Sort of like you have an apple in your mouth. Move up and down by 1/2 step. Sing syllables that are easy for you- ma, mi, me, mo, mu (ma, mee, may, mo, moo) up and down using only those same notes 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1-- does that make sense?

4. Drop your jaw! Do not sing horizontally (like you're smiling). It adds nasality to your tone. To check yourself put both hands to your face, one finger on the corners of your mouth in a resting position. When you sing (warm-ups or repertoire) do not let the corners of your mouth widen past your fingers!

Get a piano and start singing your *** off to various scales and chords.

lol...you cant be...because vocal/ voice tone is god gifted things....

just dont u might hurt some ones ears

get some lessons. a vocal coach can teach you how to properly sing (most people don't). you have some talent so the vocal coach can just do some fine tuning. he or she can also teach you some exercises to grow as a singer such as warm ups, diaphragm exercises, and exercises on using your soft pallet (that's where you should truly sing).
though lessons can be expensive, just one or two lessons can improve your skills immensely and give you the tools to improve by your self.

oh and don't just try to belt or "sing your a ss off.'' you could seriously hurt your self and loose your singing voice. never try to strain your voice without proper instruction from a trained vocal proffessional. some people just are not able to belt. but through a vocal coach you can find where exactly you should be singing. you may think you're a soprano but then take a lesson and find that you really should be singing alto.
