It's called the "sob" technique.]]> Singing Aussie Rocker https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-203850 https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-180586 Thu, 01 Jun 2006 09:23:41 +0000 Singing MikeO https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-180586 https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-180449 Wed, 31 May 2006 21:26:43 +0000 Singing Saber https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-180449 https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-180384 Wed, 31 May 2006 14:33:26 +0000
Seriously though, I'm trying to get rid of the same thing - I can't do it consistantly, but there's hope. I never thought I'd be able to get rid of that sound at all and I can most of the time now. Singing lessons are on my list, so I can learn to do that properly, stretch my upper range a bit (I have to transpose down to sing Nirvana :roll:) and to get a little bit of ooomph behind my voice :)]]> Singing Misanthrope https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-180384 https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-180380 Wed, 31 May 2006 13:43:19 +0000
My teacher had me do this, and I later saw them do it on American Idol (No I wasnt really watching it.. channel was stuck or something). Lay down on the ground and take deep breaths. See your stomach moving up and down, but your chest isnt doing too much? That is breathing from your diaphram. Put in a kareoke CD or something and sing while laying down there. Does it sound better?

Some of it, alot actually, is practice. But alot of that practice is breathing, relaxing, and getting that mouth open.

Good luck

Think of the sound you are making as a basketball free throw. The ball starts from the players hands and makes a graceful arc up to the hoop. Your sound has to come from the diagphragm and make an arc up and out. Don't let it get caught up in your head, let it go freely out to the target.

Visualize this but a good teacher could help you out really quickly.]]> Singing Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-179461 https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-179455 Sat, 27 May 2006 15:01:14 +0000
I guess it's all just practice. I haven't had lessons, so I wouldn't know what exercises to do, but for me just singing along more frequently has helped a bit. Practice basically increases your control of the narrowing and widening of your throat. Like practicing picking, it makes the movements more precise.]]> Singing Clazon https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-179455 https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-17995 Sat, 27 May 2006 11:26:19 +0000 Singing Lorfyre https://guitarnoise.forum/singing/deleted-3/#post-17995
