What is projection?

 

          I bet you are wondering what projection is exactly. Well projection is how loud and how clear your voice is. You need to have good projection when you sing so people can hear you. Also if you use too much projection in your words it will sound too loud.

 

What are some exercises I can do to improve my projection?

 

          Before you sing you should always do some vocal exercises to get your voice ready. One thing you should do is first make sure your standing correctly. Then you can take some deep breaths. Then you can start to sing softer than get louder to get you ready to sing loud but make sure you don’t sing too loud. Those are some exercises you should do before you start to sing.

 

What if I sing to loud?

 

          That’s sometimes a problem with people. One thing you should always remember is don’t worry about it during practice because that is when your supposed to make mistakes. You can learn from them instead of making a fool out of yourself during the concert. That is one thing you can do if you are very nervous about singing too loud.

 

How can I improve my Projection?

 

          One thing I can do to improve my projection is to work on my posture. If I have good posture than I will be able to sing clearer and louder. Also I can imagine you are singing to someone across the room and that person has to hear everything you sing. Another thing you can work on is your breathing. Projection is mostly a lot of air support so you have to breath properly. Those are some ways to improve my projection.
