Question: What is the best way someone can teach themselves how to sing!? Any good web-tutorials or books!? !?
I play guitar and would like to learn how to sing, but I am a bit self-conscious about my voice!. I am not looking to be Pavarotti, I just want to learn the basics of vocals!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I've taught myself to sing and here's what I did:
1) Started singing along to my MP3/radio
2) Noticed that my throat hurt after singing and then switched to singing from my diaphragm instead of my vocal cords
3)Built up abdominal muscles for more support
4) Let myself just sing even if I looked like an idiot

Music's all about having fun, just let loose and don't be afraid to mess up!. If you have that fear than you're holding yourself back and you won't be able to sing properly!. also, don't try to be a specific type (alto, tenor, etc) it'll just hinder you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You really ought to take at least a few lessons unless you can record yourself and can really hear yourself when you playback!. We often don't hear ourselves as other hear us and an unbiased opinion can be a great help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you should try humming while playing just to make sure you can keep the rhythm!. voice comes naturally, but a chorus class could helpWww@QuestionHome@Com
