Vocals are really necessary ? No, they are not. They are only necessary if you want to become a successful singer with a long and distinguished career. Of course , some singers have never done all his life. But again , some people win the lottery with the first ticket they buy. Willie Nelson probably never fumed one mee -mee -mee throughout his life. ( Just guessing here , I have never asked ), but few have the charisma and sincerity that we see in Willie . He is a poet who writes songs of his poems when reading.
For the rest of us, the answer to this question is "yes " . The song is an athletic endeavor . And just like any other sport , to be most effective , a subtle blend of mind , body and voice must be coordinated . These elements must be awakened by the singing exercises so they can work freely together.
A singer should sing scales and singing exercises to practice the elements of the techniques they learn in a " pure " . By this I mean , without being distracted by issues such as the words , rhythm and interpretation. This is the time of a singer able to fully concentrate on the body , brain and voice synergy.
The vocalizations build a kind of muscle memory for the singer to forget issues such as breathing and support so they can focus on the performance when singing exercises on stage or in the studio . It's too late to focus on breathing and support when you are standing on stage. Then a singer to forget the basics and perform . You have to rely on muscle memory. And how to build muscle memory is to do what every vocal coach I hope you will do is to practice the singing exercises.
Exercises . Sounds like a lot of work and not much fun , right? Well, you may be right , but think of them as you would with physical training . Crunches are not much fun either, but when it does , it shows in your performance and your body singing exercises.
The legendary violinist Jascha Heifetz makes a good point when he says : " If I do not practice one day, I know, two days, the critics know , three days , the public knows it. "
For singers , I recommend warming that function as building blocks, starting with the number one fundamental of all times , which is the effortless breathing . If you have the correct breathing , you have a good chance of doing well with the rest . If you can not make your breathing correctly , will always shift singing exercises.
The next step is to integrate your backup method . Then focus on your system resonance and add to mixture. I also recommend that you go through your singing exercises, you start with scales that are short and in a range comfortable for you voice. Gradually build gradually expand the dissemination of notes that sing and start exploring the limits of both upper and lower registers .
It is tempting to see the song as a stupid activity . Nothing could be further from the truth . They deserve it , if you focus on building a smooth working machine that integrates body , mind and voice. Record and track your progress. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well . Citing football coach Vincent Lombardi , "Practice does not make perfect singing exercises. Only perfect practice makes perfect singing exercises! "
