Question: Teach me how to sing, please!?
Okay so I go to this drama group and auditions for the main yearly show are coming up in the next few weeks!. I don't want to get the main role, but one of the other ones!. The thing is, my drama coach is asking auditionees to sing, and i need a bit of help to make me sound better!. I'm not sure how I sound but I think I am a bit nasal and whiny - not one of the best singers in the world! So can anyone help me or give me a few tips on singing, a good song to practice with would be fab!
Thanks alot : )Www@QuestionHome@Com

ok first try to sing using your stomach!. kinda suck it in a tiny bit and you will feel an odd feeling-sort of-using your stomach!. when you sing "using" your stomach it helps your voice become louder and more powerful!. also it helps you hold out those nasty long notes lol!.
i have some kinda quiet songs-kinda squealy-broadway songs you could give a try:
* popular- wicked
* I can hear the bells- hairspray
those are pretty easy, and do have long, really high, or really low notes!.

hope i helped you!

How about singing "A Bushel and a Peck" from Guys and Dolls!.
That used a kind of nasal and whiny voice!.
another is "I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say No" from OklahomaWww@QuestionHome@Com

Well, my top recommendation would be to find a vocal instructor to give you a couple of lessons!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
