odinz -> RE: Singing and playing guitar simultaneously (Jul. 27 2010 7:53:20)

Thats great! Great way to to start out practicing. For me, what is really helpful is posture! Its not like i have the posture of an opera singer or something, but straightening up definatly helps to control your breathing:-) So while playing guitar i guess you probably allready have a pretty good posture, but think straight back. And when singing its allways good singing songs that match your vocal range. But to expand your scale you can challenge yourself by singing more diverse songs, You can practice vibrato. I allways use Serj Tankian as a vocal reference for example. His singing fits my range. Find your own reference singer that fits you to start practice. And most important is to try to sing with your own viece, and not to try to copy other singers, this will make you strain and isnt natural[&:] Just be natural about everything.. try to sustain a note for a longer and longer time etc.. And dont smoke! Since you wanted to play guitar and sing simultaniously its important to practice both instruments at the same time. So if its any help, try to play some really hard songs on the guitar slowely while singing them slowly, and play with tempo on everything[:D] Hope this helps, good luck!
