Knowing Your Voice and Picking Songs

Handling the Mic Right

Good mic hold is key for a pro sound when you sing. Keep the mic 2-3 inches from your mouth, a bit tilted to stop bad sounds and pops.

Throwing Your Voice and Breathing

Breathing with the belly is how you sing strong. Breathe in with your belly, not shoulders, for long, strong notes and steady voice all through your song.
