•  How to build a successful singing voice and make it big as a singer

"Want to make it big in singing and be a successful singer? Then develop your own distinctive singing style" said internationally renowned vocal coach, Brett Manning....... carry on reading to find out what Brett's got to say about how to be a successful singing star.

"A few years ago, I contracted a distribution deal with Media Products in Barcelona, Spain, for the translating and marketing of the Singing Success Program, and am very grateful to Paul Zamek. Paul is responsible for the overseas licensing of many major American recording artists. (His largest client, Kenny Rogers, has sold over 100 million albums worldwide!)

I met Paul on a flight to Club Med, and he became facinated with my approach to teaching the human singing voice. Paul asked me how I would advise an amateur singer looking forward to become a professional singing star. 

• Firstly, train your singing voice like  you would train your body. Do understand that you have singing muscles that must be developed in the same way athletes train their muscles. Singing is rather easy  with tiny muscles involved in coordinating the voice and subtle vocal exercises are required to develop the muscle coordination. I have taught thousands of girls to sing notes as high as Mariah Carey could and have safely developed a convincing commercial sound with even the most rigidly trained classical or opera singers and vocalists.

Just remember that correct singing techniques have been mastered and necessary before moving towards a recording contract  because you will need consistency and longevity if you really want to make it big as a singing sensation.

• Secondly, develop your "style ear" and your vocal coordinations to sing the rapid licks, trills, and runs consistent with today's pop-singing styles. You must also develop your unique version of a commercial sound that is yourself and not a copycat of some other singers.

A straight purist voice (one dominated by a heady/classical sound) has little chance of competing with Mariah, Jewel, Whitney Houston or Celine Dion.

• Thirdly, do develop your own singing style and performance after you've learnt everybody else's singing tricks. You have to get as close as possible to your natural talking voice and make your singing more like a speech on musical pitch. Hey, you are telling an emotional story musically aren't you? If you change your tone quality so that you are talking in one voice and singing in another, you've lost the very qualities that make your singing voice distinctive.

On top of that, you will also have a harder time maintaining your vocal health. When I first explained this singing system and philosophy to Paul, he freaked out, then drew a big smiley face on a yellow legal pad and said, "Your singing voice is as distinctive as your face."

Now tell me, how many times have  you answer a phonecall and when you heard, "hello" and know exactly who it is without listening to another vocal utterance?  We are sometimes still amazed at this, because most of us don't have voices as recognizable as Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson, Joe Cocker or even Freddie Mercury. You don't need a "character" voice like these people to be distinctive. God has already taken care of that when He created a distinctively unique indentification in your voice. The multiple frequencies produced by your unique voice is your ticket into the glamorous and commercially rewarding recording industry. Making the most of this unique voice that is distinctive to you is what I've spent the last 16 years of my life teaching people to do.  Click here to develop your distinctive singing voice.

"What do I have to do to get a singing recording deal?" is perhaps the most common question I get.  Here's the answer you usually hear: "Headshot, bio, and demo." And yes, those things certainly have helped many people get started in the recording industry. Some have even added a video or showcase, because singers are also performers. 

However,  other than just preparing self-promotions and throwing yourself into the brutally competitive music industry, what else can you do to dramatically increase your chance of landing that singing recording contract you have always dreamt of? Voice training of course.

Here are three other important goals to strive and reach for :-

• First and foremost, strive to increase your vocal range significantly. The greater your vocal range, the more exciting and confident your singing will be. Find a singing coach who can teach you how to mix your chest voice (speaking voice) with your head voice (your softer, lighter, classical-sounding voice). This "mixed voice" is much thicker than pure head voice, but has more frequencies than a barrel chest voice. The "mixed voice" has the best of both worlds, which is why so many top Grammy winners sing in this mixed voice vocal register.

You must learn this vocal voice "mix" if you want a commercial sound, effortless singing, and a healthy voice. (The Singing Success Program can help you with this vocal mix.)

Secondly, find as many singing influences as possible. Do you have enough of singing influences to keep you from sounding exactly like your favorite artist? We don't need another Babara Streisand as imitation or similarity to great singers can only portray you as a wannabe and a singing wannabe is not a singing star. You will come across as an impersonation singer or worse, a fake.

I have coached dozens of young women who can now sing almost exactly like Celine Dion. But then again, who wants a counterfeit when the real Celine Dione is already available? However, if  you have enough wide vocal influences, you will surely find a little bit of yourself in each one of these singing or vocal influences.

Thirdly, you must make a decision to find your own unique voice and spend the rest of your life devoted to developing the singing voice that is uniquely yours. You are unique and you have dreams. Do not give up your singing dreams and you will have your singing career taking off to great heights some day. That day when you become a singing superstar may not be that far away. The world advances, not through those who give up on their dreams, but through those who stand by their labor and talent" - Brett Manning, Vocal Coach   Click here to visit Brett's singing success guaranteed site.
