Learn how to sing - Review of Singorama

If you’re reading this review, you’re probably curious about the online singing course Singorama. Well, hopefully, this review will answer all your questions.

Singorama is an online course that says it will teach you to sing with professional quality and precision within 3 months. Quite a big claim. Do they have the goods to back it up?

To answer that question, let me first go over exactly what you get in this course.

There are 28 audio lessons. Each one is quite extensive including warm ups, breathing and posture, staying in tune, the difference between chest and head voice and how to control each, extending your vocal range, recognizing intervals, different song styles and way too much more to go into here. In other words, this course covers everything you will need.

But there’s more…They even provide you with your own software so you can record your voice using your own computer. This is where Singorama goes above and beyond a standard course. It also comes with pitch training software that is quite excellent.

Overall, you’re not going to get this kind of training for this price. If I had to say anything bad about this course it would be this. As good as it is, if you’re not blessed with a functional voice box, there is only so much you’re going to get out of this. Yes, it will improve anybody’s singing by 100%, but if you sound like a screeching cat to begin with, there is little chance that this course is going to turn you into a professional singer.

Just being honest.

Singing Training Tips

Oh to be able to sing like a bird, or any animal for that matter. Some people would sell their soul for the ability to charm the world with their vocal chords. Well, fear not. This article is going to share some super tips for learning to sing. After you are done reading it, your voice should improve by leaps and bounds.

Probably one of the biggest mistakes singers make is that they don’t open up their mouths wide enough. Think about it. If you keep your lips together, how much sound can you really get out? Not much, right? So what makes you think that when you sing you can only open up your mouth a little bit? Take a look at some opera singers and look at how exaggerated their mouths look. You need to open yours up a lot. Don’t be self conscious about looking stupid, okay?

Another big problem singers have is timing. Now, unless you’re singing A cappella, you really should have no problem keeping your timing. What you can do is lightly tap your foot in time to the music, assuming that somebody is playing for you. Nobody is going to hear it and it WILL keep you in beat. Also, make sure you follow your accompanist. Don’t rush them.

Finally, and this may be the most important tip of all, not every song in the world is going to be right for your voice. Aside from vocal range, there is style as well. You’ll never hear Judy Collins trying to belt out something like "Born To Run". You have to find songs that fit YOUR voice. This is very easy to do. Pick out something and try singing it. If it doesn’t feel comfortable at all, it’s probably not for you.

There are many facets to singing and it’s impossible to cover them all in this article. However, I have recently run across a great resource for learning how to sing that I’ve reviewed below. I think you’ll find it most helpful.

There is nothing more wonderful than sharing your voice with the world. I think singing is the one thing that each of us, no matter how talented we think we are or aren’t, wants to be able to do. Rooms literally stop and light up when somebody with a golden voice begins to sing.

Wouldn’t you like to be one of those people?
