Singing Tips & Encouragement for Learning to Sing BetterHey! I am Mark Black and welcome to expertvillage.com. We are going to be talking about vocal performance. So, I think I want to just sum up everything that we said, which is the bottom line is that the voice is a natural thing. You got tons of friends and people and they all sing, and it is a pretty darn natural thing to do, and because of that that’s really cool, makes it easy to do. The hard part of it is that it makes different things harder like to be a better musician, to be systematic with it and if you will do that it will help you. But the main thing I want to encourage you is that you can really develop your voice. It’s not mystical. It is harder to find, in my opinion it is harder to find a voice teacher that achieves results than it is to find let us say a guitar teacher who achieves results. I don’t know why it does seem to me like there are more voice teachers who are… you know they are “the artist, I’m so cool” but I want to encourage you that if you look you can find somebody that can help you. It’s not that you have to take lessons, it is just what I said in the beginning that it really helps to have somebody for the voice especially external from you who can say, you are sharp, don’t so that quite like this. But mostly what I want to leave you with is that you can learn to sing. Singing is a wonderful thing and I know so many people who very earnestly want to sing and they are just normal people they want to sing well and for whatever reason they have got an impression that they are just lost whatever you know, there is just no hope for them and I just want to tell you that it is not true. If you are one of those people you can learn to sing, and sing well. If you sing adequately you can learn to sing better, if you sing well, you can learn to sing great, if you are pretty good now or really good now, you can be the best there is if you work on it. So, I want you to be encouraged, I want you to treat your voice as an instrument. If you can get some professional help, somebody who will really encourage you and lead you well and be encouraged with your voice and go for them, I am sure you will do really well. Thanks a lot and I am Mark Black and thanks for coming to expertvillage.com and this was our seminar about voice training. Thanks a lot.

Absolutely wonderful series. Thank you so much for taking your time to make these lessons ^^.
Hey! Wonderful series! Thanks so much for sharing!
i use external source like voice recorder or camcorder to find out what i really sound like...they are great tools to help you also
very good technique and advices! Thank you thank you.
Mark, thank you for this seminar.
I REALLY enjoyed this, I look like Ozzy Osbourne and want to sing very close to his range. I,myself listen to a varriety of music, unfortunately my voice is naturally "deep" (Randy Travis) comes to mind lol but PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE, I will do, I "WILL BE" A IN DEMAND OZZY OSBOURNE TRIBUTE ARTIST! ROCK AND ROLLLL!
Mark, You are a GREAT confidence builder... I am the type of person that sings in the car/shower.I am not a shy person but I do get very nervous singing around other people- even in church when 200 people are singing at one time! If you have confidence in yourself you can do just about anything. Thanks for the booster, I plan on singing more in front of people. I may even do Karoke :)
ThANKS Mark for all your wonderful lessons. As a voice teacher, you may want to tell your students about a web-site that lets them record songs FREE and as many songs as they want. You can listen to them again and again and with each new recording, hear how much you're improving. You can also let your friends listen to your songs, too. The web-site is MIDOMI.COM
I really enjoyed the whole range of videos and i did learn something. Thanks Mark.
