Singing Tips for Amateurs

 


As a trustee of the Otto Bremer Trust, co-CEO Brian Lipschultz is responsible for helping oversee a $900 million organization that invests in nonprofits throughout the Upper Midwest. Outside of his work at the Otto Bremer Trust, Brian Lipschultz is an accomplished vocalist.

Like any other art form, singing is a skill that takes time and effort to develop. For those looking to take their vocal ability to a higher level, here are some tips to consider.

One of the first things an aspiring singer should do is spend time determining their natural vocal range. Simply put, this means becoming acquainted with how high and how low one can sing. Knowing this helps a singer find the songs and keys that are best suited to their singing voice.

It’s also helpful to record your singing in order to get an accurate idea of what your voice actually sounds like. Trusting the ears alone as a gauge of your singing voice can be misleading because the anatomy of the ear can give the voice a deeper tone than it really possesses. By listening to recordings, one can get an accurate picture of how the voice sounds and where improvements need to be made.
