To improve singing voice, it is important that you exercise your throat everyday. If you want to develop an impressive vocal range and a wonderful tone you should be prepared to put in diligent and consistent hard work because it is certainly not something that is going to happen in a day. The exercises given below will help you to develop these traits in your voice.

The position of the larynx is primarily responsible for the tone of your voice and the way you sound. The larynx is an organ in the neck also called the voice box which is made up of muscles, cartilage and ligaments. Here is a simple experiment that will help you gauge the importance of the position of your larynx in creating the right tone.

You will need to open your mouth wide like in a yawn. This position of the mouth will relax the muscles of the throat and if you make the vowel sound ‘aah’ you will hear a sound with a rich tone. In order to feel the position of the larynx you will have to place your fingers on the Adam’s apple or the distinct bump on your throat. The larynx moves down when the rich tone is made. The downward movement of the larynx increases the distance traveled by the sound before it reaches your mouth. And this is what produces the rich tome.

Similarly the upward movement of the larynx also impacts the tonal variety of the sound and to observe this start by producing the sound ‘nay’ with a nasal tone. A good way to produce a nasal sound would be to talk like Fran Dresher from the show ‘the nanny’. You will have to sing just like she would. The nasal sound is produced by the upward movement of the larynx and this can be distinctly felt by placing your fingers in your neck. The resultant has a very strong nasal quality to it which sounds bad.

So as you can see the position of the larynx is directly responsible for the tone of your voice. The best tone is produced when the larynx in the middle position. This is the natural relaxed position of the larynx. However you will have to train your self to keep your larynx in this position by relaxing the muscles surrounding it. Here are a few exercises that will help.

In order to feel the position of the larynx, start by placing your hand on your neck. To move the larynx in the mid position, do the exercise mentioned above.

Follow this with the normal breathing exercises again making sure that the larynx is still centered.

You can sing better if your larynx is centered when you are singing the scales. To begin with sing the scales normally. But keep your fingers on your neck so that you can notice any upward movement in the larynx; correct it by opening your mouth wider and relaxing the throat muscles which will push the larynx down. Be careful when you are singing the other scales as well and make sure to maintain the position of your larynx.

Also practice larynx control when you sing to improve your diction. Sing a verse from your favorite song in a baby voice noticing the upward movement of the larynx. Then sing it with your mouth open and throat relaxed producing a rich tone by the downward movement of the mouth.

Singing is one of the most enjoyable art forms albeit one that will need hard work and perseverance to learn.
