Practice your singing voice. Start with singing a note that comes most naturally to you. Test your ability to carry the note by singing it as high as you can without straining. Then, go as low as you can without straining. For added practice, sing your favorite tune at the highest pitch and lowest pitch you can. Smile while you sing for a brighter, clearer vocal sound. Once you learn your range, identify your voice type.
If you’re female, and your voice is high, your voice will be considered a Soprano. If it’s low, it will be considered an alto. If you’re male and your voice is high, your voice will be considered a Tenor. If it’s low, it will be considered Bass. [1]
Practice at least one singing/warm-up exercise for at least 10 minutes a day.[2] Listen to your pitch, and focus on your tone to deliver the best sound for your voice. Challenge yourself by singing in different pitches, volumes and speeds.
Be comfortable and learn to sing well with your own voice before teaching others. You will need to make your voice versatile, and know how to sing in many different ranges and styles.Acquire vocal training. Research and find vocal coaches in your area.
