Vocal Lessons - Day 1 - Singing Lessons For Beginners | 30 Day Singer

Get 30 Day Singer Full Access - 2 weeks FREE: bit.ly/3P1yaAq
First up, we’ll take a short vocal history: what singing experience do you have? Have you had lessons in the past, and if so, what did you learn? What did you like and dislike about those lessons? Do you play any instruments? Most importantly, do you have any health issues or vocal health concerns? Although it doesn’t happen often, I will recommend you first get checked out by a laryngologist if you have symptoms that indicate vocal injury. I am not a doctor or a speech therapist, and if that’s the care you need at this time, that comes first!
Lastly, I want to know if you have any specific concerns or goals. And while it’s okay to have the general goal of overall improvement, it’s really helpful to share what your specific goals are. That could be: strengthening your voice, eliminating strain when you sing higher, auditioning for a school musical, learning to harmonize. I want your lessons, even if we only have one lesson together, to support your goals for yourself.
MY number one goal as a teacher is your vocal health and longevity. I want to equip you to sing the songs you love, and to continue your vocal development on your own! Most of us cannot afford consistent lessons with a private teacher, so it’s very important to me that you understand what we’re working on and know how to apply what you learn in your individual practice.
Next up, we’ll do a short assessment. At this point, I assure you that it’s normal to crack at some point! Cracking is not a failure. Where and why you crack gives me valuable information to help you, so please don’t apologize if your voice does something funny. Please sing along as you’re able!
Based on that assessment, we’ll continue with some exercises to address whatever your biggest issue is. I’ll list some of the most common ones, with exercises that work for most people!
1. Issues matching pitch
If you’re struggling to match the pitch of the piano or of my voice, I’ll meet you where you’re at and play that pitch on the piano. I’ll then teach you how to use a virtual keyboard and chromatic tuner to practice pitch matching on your own!
2. Weak chest voice
We’ll do exercises that include speaking on pitch.
3. Shouting for high notes
If you’re yelling as you sing higher like this [demonstrate], we’ll find your head voice function to give you another way to approach high notes. Then we might try exercises that take you from low to high on a slightly dopey sound to override that tendency to shout. Depending on how that’s going, we may add a little intensity back into the mix on a syllable like ONE.
4. Flipping into head voice
If you flip or crack, we’ll usually use bratty or pouty exercises. Nasal exercises can also be very helpful in finding strength without getting shouty.
Last, we’ll work on a section of a song together! Typically that process involves going back and forth between the melody and exercises, removing the lyrics to sing on a warmup syllable, and learning vowel modifications to sing with more power and ease on tricky lyrics.
I hope you found this helpful! If you’d like to book a lesson OR learn at your own pace, visit 30daysinger.com.

I found your vocal lesson for beginners and I am interested to learn from you. I sing by myself whenever I like a song because I have my microphone karaoke. It helps me a lot to reach a higher note. However, I am still not confident to sing in a big crowd. By following your voice lesson I believe can help me reach my goal. I can't afford a private tutor so I just rely on free vocal lesson .

[@charmbis736]

I just found you it's very helpful. Thank you

[@stephvandermeulen9587]

Thank you!! I just tried this. It's been about twenty-five years since I sang-I developed anxiety and panic disorder and couldn't be onstage, let alone even open my mouth, and over the years, I've just developed a fear of hearing myself and judging it, some sort of deep embarrassment or something. I'm working with a therapist now and had the idea to try working my way back to it online. This lesson helped because it was easy, compassionate (it's okay if this happens), and helpful-it actually made me see that I have more range than I thought, I was on pitch, and didn't waver until the final two or three scales. So I feel like it will be easier for me to open my mouth and let sound out for the next lesson and I have a bit of confidence that I'm not terrible! The intense feeling of vulnerability, even while I'm alone, is...wow. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

[@30DaySinger]

Thank you for sharing your story with us. We are so happy to hear this is helping you get your groove back. Don't let anything stop you from singing!

[@stephvandermeulen9587]

@@30DaySinger Thank you. I'm trying not to... :)

[@roseshelmerdine2710]

I've had similar feelings about speaking and singing since I was about 14... I really appreciate you sharing this and I hope that you gradually overcome this fear. I'm sure that others don't hear what you hear in yourself at all, they probably just hear a normal voice like any other and aren't judging it in the intense way that you feel. Sometimes when I've known I have to talk in a group, I'd sing in private before hand and it felt like it helped build confidence and "let out" my voice before having to let it out in front of other people. I've also tried yoga and meditation for the throat chakra, I think it helped but I never did it regularly. Probably only useful in combination with therapy to deal with the underlying fears and feelings. I really wish you the best with this, you deserve to be heard ❤

[@FarahnazAmirsardari]

[@TeperzRae]

First video I found of this channel when searching for KZbin vocal lessons (just as a place to start since I can't afford a private tutor at the moment). I took a choir class for about a year in middle school, we did classic choir music along with our own medleys of fun Disney songs with dance numbers, it was a blast (despite the choir teacher getting super impatient & mad at us for not getting it perfect). I was assessed by her & told I was a mid alto, at the time I was 15 years old & never smoked a day in my life. Not even a year later I sadly got into a bad crowd & started smoking due to peer pressure, this ruined my voice (I was never addicted to smoking, only did it socially due to pressure from others). I was devastated at how my voice sounded from the damage it caused. Then in college I took public speaking + acting classes to help with my stage fright + confidence in front of people. We didn't do musicals, but this lit the fire in me & inspired me to want to try. Now I'm almost 30 years old & wanna start singing again, I'm super off pitch naturally but I feel like I can match others as we sing but as soon as I'm the only one left my pitch + tone go out the window & I sound like I've been run over by a dumpster truck lol Anyways, thanks for this video! Will be binging more as I try to get my voice back again. Thanks for reading to anyone who read my long comment.. 🙏🏼

hey i’m 21 and i felt the same way at 14, and it discouraged me from learning. try and make a list of stuff to do - how to find pitch how to find head voice how to find chest voice etc. you can learn through youtube and reddit! if you practice now, you’ll be amazing by the time you’re my age! i wish i had learned then instead of starting now! good luck!

Thank you for these lessons, I love to sing and can sing mid range songs as an Alto, but need help to harmonize (big time), and better and stronger vocals for sure. My goal is to be better so I can sing stronger songs like "I Have Nothing" etc.

[@riverrat8790]

I have a low voice. Typically sing Alto but can sing higher if I soften my voice. Where I have my problem is the high notes in certain songs. My voice is cracking and I am trying to find the song at a lower key so I can sing along. Plus, breath control.

[@user-uu6vm1rg2q]

Hello. I been singing when I was 4. Nobody I know took me to get my singing lessons. So I been teaching myself how to. I started getting better better to be honest. But what’s kills me is. I keep losing air when I sing. Not sure what I’m doing. And I also need to work on my high notes and low notes. ( sorry if this not the best explanation. Not very good at giving one) but this day 1 watching your videos and I hope this can help me out lol, thank you❤
