Step 1
Learn how your voice works. Your singing voice is an instrument, and understanding how it works, how to use it, and its limitations are all important to you as a singer. A good beginner's guidebook to singing should cover this information. You can also find such a guide for free online (see Resources).
-
Step 2
Purchase a reliable singing course that contains CDs and instruction books. These courses are structured much the same as a professional vocal coach would structure a class. These courses are designed to help you get the most out of your voice.
-
Step 3
Sing scales on a regular basis. Scales help train your ear, strengthen your range and define your vocal technique. Your vocal course will come with scales for you to sing.
-
Step 4
Listen to yourself. It's hard to determine the sound of your own voice when you're actually singing. Listening to a recording of yourself will help you isolate potential problems with pitch and diction. For example, record yourself singing along with karaoke.
-
Step 5
Take care of your voice. Sing properly, sing regularly and avoid bad habits such as smoking, which can have an ill effect on your singing voice.
