Answers to your singing questions
What is the best singing method?
You should choose a singing method that works for you. You can find singers and teachers who are quick to recommend their method, claiming, “It’s the best.” A good method is one that can teach you the basics of singing such as breathing management and articulation.
Why doesn’t my voice work sometimes?
Your voice might stop working for many different reasons, and they can all be fixed. You can interrupt your singing if you think too much about how you sound. If you aren’t getting enough sleep, you will be sluggish and won’t be able to get your voice to respond as it should. If you sang too much the day before, your voice will inevitably get tired. Singing muscles are just like any other muscle. Your singing muscles will need to rest after being used. Emotions can have their affect on your voice as well. Crying may have a negative result on your vocal cords.
Do fat people have bigger voices?
Nope. Your voice has nothing to do with the size of your waist. If that were true, then all great singers would be big and every large person would be a great singer. Actually having more weight can cause more problems in the long run, especially with moving and breathing. If moving like this is second nature to you, then you have nothing to worry about. To be honest, the size of your head and throat make a larger impact.
Do I have nodes if I have a scratchy voice?
Getting nodes actually isn’t all that easy. You won’t get nodes by yelling for a day. Your vocal cords would swell, but nodes would take much more. Nodes are basically like calluses. Unless there is excessive abuse, you won’t have nodes. If you continue to have scratchy sounds in your voice, then sing in the high range. Nodes will for the most part only affect the high part of your voice. If it’s only the mid-range that is affected, you may have an entirely different problem.
What’s the difference between a coach, accompanist, and a voice teacher?
A coach is someone who plays the piano well and can help you or give you tips on singing. There will be a number of things that take place during a session with a coach, some of which involve pronunciation, and singing in the right style. A coach helps with some basic tips on technique and supports the work of your voice teacher.
An accompanist plays the piano for you but doesn’t give any advice. An accompanist is not cheaper than a coach though.
The voice teacher is the technique specialist. Although the coach may have knowledge of technique, the voice teacher should be the pro and expert. While the voice teacher may not be a great pianist, they do have a great amount of knowledge. Half of your voice lesson will be spent on technique, and the other half will be on other things.
