Learn proper singing posture. Most singing teachers suggest standing rather than sitting to achieve the best sound. Sitting collapses your muscles and can hinder your ability to get a proper breath.
- Keep your head up and in line with your shoulders. Picture your spine like a straight line extending through the crown of your head.
- Let your jaw drop and keep your tongue relaxed toward the front of your mouth.
- Relax your shoulders.
- Lift the roof of your mouth in the back as if you were going to yawn. This opens up the throat and allows more air to flow through.
- If you are tensing up when standing with the right posture, move so that your back, shoulders, and head are resting against a wall.
