In order to improve singing voice you will need to appropriate exercises in your daily practice regimen. Improving your vocal range and developing a good tone will take a lot of hard work and practice and it will certainly not be possible to achieve these goals overnight. But it is certainly an achievable dream and the exercises mentioned below will help you to reach your goal.
The position of the larynx is primarily responsible for the tone of your voice and the way you sound. The larynx is an organ in the neck also called the voice box which is made up of muscles, cartilage and ligaments. Here is a simple experiment that will help you gauge the importance of the position of your larynx in creating the right tone.
You will need to open your mouth wide like in a yawn. This position of the mouth will relax the muscles of the throat and if you make the vowel sound 'aah' you will hear a sound with a rich tone. In order to feel the position of the larynx you will have to place your fingers on the Adam's apple or the distinct bump on your throat. The larynx moves down when the rich tone is made. The downward movement of the larynx increases the distance traveled by the sound before it reaches your mouth. And this is what produces the rich tome.
Similarly the upward movement of the larynx also impacts the tonal variety of the sound and to observe this start by producing the sound 'nay' with a nasal tone. A good way to produce a nasal sound would be to talk like Fran Dresher from the show 'the nanny'. You will have to sing just like she would. The nasal sound is produced by the upward movement of the larynx and this can be distinctly felt by placing your fingers in your neck. The resultant has a very strong nasal quality to it which sounds bad.
This proves that the tone of the voice can be directly attributed to the position of the larynx. To produce the best tone of voice you need to maintain your larynx in the mid position. This mid position keeps the larynx relaxed producing the best tones. In order to keep the larynx in this mid position you will need to practice to keep the muscles surrounding it relaxed. The exercises given below will get you started.
You will need to start by placing your fingers on your neck to feel the position of your larynx. Repeat the exercise given above to center the larynx.
The next step is to do the normal breathing exercising while ensuring that the larynx still stays in the center.
Even when you are singing the scales maintaining this central position is essential. So start by singing the scales normally. If you notice an upward movement in the larynx open your mouth wider, this will relax the throat and push the larynx downwards. Sing the other scales while being aware of the position of your larynx.
Also practice larynx control when you sing to improve your diction. Sing a verse from your favorite song in a baby voice noticing the upward movement of the larynx. Then sing it with your mouth open and throat relaxed producing a rich tone by the downward movement of the mouth.
If you are willing to put in the effort and the time there is no reason why you will not master the art of singing.
