Voice Projection when Singing
Hi! I am Erica Lane and I am with Expert Village and I am talking about how to train the female voice. I want to talk about projections specifically and that means directing your voice outward. When I am singing I want to make sure that I am projecting so that others can hear me clearly. If I am keeping it all inside in other words in my little space right here and then people are not going to be able to understand me as well what I am singing and also they are not going to be able to enjoy as it is much because they cannot get the full richness of what is going out before me… so I am going to sing Amazing Grace in more of a soprano voice and I am going to keep it in my little area here and I am not going to project. I want to demonstrate what that sounds like… alright so I sang with a pretty good phrasing. I sang with fairly good diction and I also controlled my pitch, but I really was not projecting outward and I was not really feeling it either. That’s part of projection. So, I am going to sing it again. I am going to really try to project this time and really not down the wall here… so that was more powerful projecting. I pushed it out in front of me. I tried to get out there as far as I could. So that anybody could hear that was near by and I really feel that when you are singing with more projection that you are showing that you are a more powerful musician and you have more confidence about yourself when you are projecting. When you are keeping it inside it seems that you are shy and not sure about what you are doing and people do not really enjoy listening to someone who is not really sure if they want to sing or not. So, remember projection is a part of being a confident singer.
