Have you always wanted to find your true singing voice? I'll be honest, most of videos and blogs on this subject are very philosophical. They mention journaling, recording yourself, asking friends what they think that you sound like, Etc.

But actually, I want to show you how to find your true singing voice through actually singing. The truth is that most singers have a hard time finding their natural singing voice because they start off by imitating others. Adele, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, you name it. Everyone wants to sound like their favorite singer. And this makes sense, because you want to show your inspiration and it's difficult to have the confidence in your own voice when you're so inspired by your favorite singers.

However, the truth is that it's very difficult to truly imitate or mimic another singer and sound good doing it. Just for an example, when I first started off singing, I wanted to sound just like Elliott Smith. But Elliott Smith is a very breathy and light singer, and I'm a very strong and resonant singer. In other words, I had bet on the wrong horse. Now there's nothing wrong with being inspired by other artists, but it's very important that you find your own voice as you become an artist. So today I'm going to show you five steps to find your true and natural singing voice. Three of the steps will be vocal concepts that you need to learn in order to get the most out of your voice. And there are also two musical elements that I want to share with you when you're learning to find your voice.

The first vocal element in finding your natural voice is to learn to sing with chest voice. Chest voice is the name for the range of notes at the bottom part of your singing voice. When I first started off, I wasn't actually singing with enough chest voice in this was leading me to sound breathy. It's very difficult to find the correct vocal Tone If you're always singing that way.

In the second step in finding your natural voice is to learn to sing with head voice. Head Voice is the term for the top part of your singing voice. Many beginning singers don't sing in any head voice. In other words, they need to discover it in order to get the most out of their voice.

Our final vocal element for finding your true singing style is to sing with mixed voice. Mixed voice is the term given to singing with a blend of the chest voice and head voice so that your voice sounds even from the bottom to the top. If you learn how to sing in mixed voice correctly, you'll be able to sing any note in your entire range and still sound like you.

Next, I'll cover the musical elements that will help you find your voice. The first step in the musical department is that you need to choose a genre that matches your voice. Many singers will choose a genre that does not actually fit their true singing voice. For instance, I would love to be an R&B singer, but my voice does not have the flexibility and power for all the riffs and runs that happen in R&B. Instead, my voice has built more for pop and some lighter rock music.

The second step in musical elements to find your voices that you want to choose songs that fit your voice. Too many singers will choose songs that are too high, too low, or just don't showcase their true voice as well as it could. One easy way to overcome this is to sing a vocal exercise instead of the lyrics. By singing the musical exercise, you will automatically go into singing the exercise rather than trying to imitate the singer. This is very important, The journey in finding your own voice can take a bit of time and yes recording yourself can help with this. However if you don't have these other vocal and musical elements put together, it's going to be very difficult to find your sound correctly.
