Most people would never participate in an athletic activity without taking some lessons to learn the basic skills to become successful. Singing is no different. The parts of the body primarily responsible for generating vocal sound are muscles capable of responding positively to physical training, and your voice will improve when they are strong, flexible, and working properly. Well-trained muscles for singing easily produce clear tones throughout the range, improve the overall stamina of the voice, and bring the entire instrument into balance. However, like working out at the gym, you must regularly practice the exercises with the correct form and execution to realize these kinds of measurable results. Can I buy the Student Edition if I am not a student of a voice teacher or vocal coach? You can, but if you are working on your own, it would be best to purchase Sing! 20 Singing Lessons to Improve Your Voice edition, as it has complete instructional material for self-teaching. Do I need to be able to read music to learn this material? No, it is not necessary to be able to read music, but music for the exercises is included.Does this program apply to all styles of singing? Almost every singer can benefit from some kind of vocal training that improves their vocal tone and breathing. This course seeks to improve your vocal fitness so that you can have a better foundation on which to sing your own style. Once you create a strong, reliable vocal sound, you can add your style of music to it. How long does it take to see improvement? When a singer commits to practicing this vocal technique correctly, with thoughtfulness, discipline and patience, the time they invest will pay them back many times over. The process of singing (and speaking) is an ingrained habit, so consistent and deliberate practicing of the vocal exercises is required to allow the muscles to learn new form and position. You can expect measurable improvement as long as you take this approach and practice consistently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Instant-Series Presents "Instant Voice Training" How to Train Your Voice Instantly! In a world...where your voice totally matters - what do you do if you don't have the sexiest voice, the most commanding voice, the most articulate voice...or are simply not happy with the voice you have? There is a myriad of reasons to why you would want/need to have a better voice, such as... * You want to be listened to more instead of falling on deaf ears by other people who can't understand you or can't stand the sound of your voice. * You want to have a better voice for occupational reason if you're a singer, actor, speaker, etc., in order to get ahead professionally. * You want to have a better voice to attract the ladies or gentlemen and make more friends for a thriving dating and social life. * You want to overcome speech impairments that are causing you to stutter or mispronounce your words and creating all sorts of problems for you. * You want to always feel confident knowing you can walk into any room and command attention with a voice that conveys power and is music to people's ears. Are you familiar with the proverbial saying "it's not what you say, but how you say it" and how your actual words only make up "7% of communication"? Well, your voice makes up a remaining majority of that. Thus, how you come across to those around you is determined by your voice, even more so than appearance. Have you ever witnessed a person who didn't' have the polished look, but the second they started talking you became in "awe" by the spellbinding sound effect they had...while the opposite could be said for somebody who looked like a million bucks but didn't have the million-bucks voice to go with that appearance. You certainly can retrain your voice to give it more control in how you want it to sound from tone, pitch, volume, and even accent by doing a series of vocal training exercises. Within "Instant Voice Training": * How to bring your voice forward via doing "mouth pull-ups" to unleash your dynamic, vibrant powerful voice. * How to determine the type of voice you have and the best approach to calibrate it for best utilization. * How to apply singing techniques to your speaking voice to propel your vocal projection to a whole new level. * How to practice sustaining sound control when speaking for long periods of time so you don't damage your vocal cords. * How to perform the breathing muscle "push up/release out" technique to allow more air intake for clearer articulation with resonance. * Plus, custom practical "how-to" strategies, techniques, applications and exercises on how to improve your voice. ...and much more. Imagine being able to go anywhere knowing that you can speak up whenever you want with a voice that people will listen to and accept what you have to say because you're so eloquently articulate. That's what having a golden voice will do for you. Your voice is the ultimate weapon in your arsenal. It can move mountains.
