Do you long for a strong, powerful singing voice, but feel that no matter what, yours is just weak and unstable? I promise you’re not alone, and today I’m sharing 5 tried-and-true steps to strengthen your voice. If you’re new here, I’m Camille van Niekerk, singer & voice teacher with 30 Day Singer.

1. Establish a connection to your breathing muscles

Pretend you’re laughing like Santa Clause with a deep, belly-shaking “ho, ho, ho” [demonstrate]. See if you can feel that belly bouncing or pulsing out on each “ho”.

We want those same muscles to help us out when we sing! Try an exercise that uses the “ho-ho” sound. Using exercises like this one can help you establish a connection between the onset of sound and abdominal engagement. This allows for a stronger sound without squeezing or straining in your throat. Just be sure to not crunch your upper belly in – that’s the only no-no.

2. Use your speaking voice for low & medium pitches

If a pitch is low enough for you to speak or “call”, find strength by first speaking on pitch. For example, let’s say I’m singing something in a medium-low range, but I’m very weak and breathy. Stop, and try “speak-singing.”. Then smooth it out, but keep that same strength. Sometimes, we just need a reminder of what our voices can naturally do when we’re not trying to sound a certain way or nervous about singing.

3. Add a consonant to your warmup syllable

It’s not easy to sing an open vowel, like AH. If your voice is often weak or overly breathy on exercises like that, add a consonant. For example, sing MAH or BAH instead.

4. Train with wide and medium vowels

Think about your mouth shape when you’re calling across the street. Your mouth is most likely tall and wide! We call these kinds of vowels, like EY and A, “wide vowels”, and they’re great for training a strong, energetic sound.

If the pitch goes high enough that you’re shouting, however, switch to a more neutral or “medium” vowel, like UH as in ONE.

5. Use semi-closed exercises

Semi-closed or semi-occluded exercises are a voice teacher favorite for a reason. The partial closure makes it easier for your vocal folds to line up and vibrate together, resulting in a stronger sound. Favorites include the lip trill, sustained BB, VV, ZZ, MM, NN, NG, and singing through a straw. Try out a few, and use the one that results in the clearest most “focused” tone.
