How to sing (part 2)

This is the second in a series of videos, giving tips and exercises to do with singing that I've picked up on my travels. I hope it's useful to those that want to improve their singing voices.

Here are the links to the 3 parts of "How to sing":

I play guitar aswell, and i'm asuming you're playing a basic chord but just moving it up a semitone when you practise scales right?

[jeffstunes]

@guitarchug95

No. I play single notes when doing the scales. All the natural notes with the guitar tuned normally and without a capo. You can do it with natural notes only, or with sharps and flats if you wish. The purpose behind scales is to help teach you the correct frequencies to sing and to also help in extending your vocal range.

How do you know if your singing the pitch right?

@shainashaina123

I think is said how in one of the 3 vids. Record yourself singing along to a song, and listen back to it. Does it sound right to you? Also, get some other people to give you their opinion. Try to avoid family and close friends. Pick some people that you know will give you an honest opinion :)

I would like to thank you I had begun my journey of singing four years ago as a death metal screamer and due to a viral infection recently i will never be able to scream again. That does not upset me however for i have found the beauty in singing and the talent required to become great at singing. I have a long journey a head of me but your video was a great help and now im off to practice :) thanks again. Keep up the good work.

Cheers for these. Have played guitar and other strings for ages but my singing has always been the wrong side of crap. Will be working on it with your advice. Thanks:)

[shainashaina123]

@jeffstunes Oh ok, thanks :)

@shainashaina123 You can check the pitch of your voice like you'd check the tuning of a guitar string. To tune a guitar string, a tuning note is played and you adjust the string tentsion until you hear the summation sound of the two notes coming together. Same thing with your voice. You can play a note with keyboard or guitar, sing a lyric syllable straight into the amp speaker, adjust your voice pitch to get the best summation sound.
