Singing Techniques - Sneaky Singing Tricks
As a singer, you are certainly doing all you can to improve your performance...
right? You're studying with a good teacher, working your daily exercises and practicing all your songs.
Right? Probably not, but you're trying, right? But things aren't perfect yet and you still have some work to to to become the singer of your dreams.
Fortunately there are some tricks for you to fool people into believing that you are a totally trained singer.

"Tricks are only tricks when they are discovered.
" I don't know who said that, but I just did, and it makes sense.
How about "what they don't know won't hurt them"? (I know that's not my quote.
) So how does all this apply to your singing? • So you have terrible breath control.
How do you disguise that? By planning ahead.
Sing through the song, giving yourself plenty of places to take small breaths.
Mark and practice taking your breaths in these places, even if they occur in the middle of a word.
Then practice doing this so smoothly that you fool the listener into not hearing you take those breaths.
• So you can't hit that high note.
Practice singing another note instead.
You can always say it was the way you "creatively' felt it.
Honestly, pop music is made to be interpreted.
So interpret.
• So you hit a wrong note.
Turn it into a right note with a few twists.
Think like a jazz musician...
ad lib.
You may surprise yourself.
• So you forget the lyrics.
Go back to a part you do know.
How many people out there actually know all the lyrics to that song? Very few.
• So you pass out with fear.
You're on your own.
