The Art and Science of Singing

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Singing is an art as well as a science. As an art, singing involves intuition, where your perception and sensitivities as a singer is essential; inspiration, which is the stimulation to do creative work; talent, that is, your natural ability; and creativity, which is your imaginative skill. As a science, it involves techniques, which are the procedures & skills required & the treatment of the basics. Also, singing as a science involves the nature of the singer, including the intrinsic and essential qualities of your voice.

I have heard the stories of well-known and legendary singers share their love for singing. For them it is a passion, it’s their field where creativity flows, originality wells up, ingenuity pours and inspiration runs over. In effect, as they sing their songs, such qualities are diffused to their audiences and their listeners. They serve as inspiration themselves to those who hear their music. Oh yes, that’s what you call art.

But singing is also a physical activity, it’s similar to the other kinesthetic pursuits like dancing or athletic undertakings. There is awareness and coordination in singing, like when you learn to ride a bike or drive a car. It requires a tremendous amount of concentration. And when you gain muscle memory, eventually the physical part of it becomes natural to you, and you can then concentrate on other aspects. Here’s where techniques becomes effortless because they’re already automatic to you. When you’re able to develop these techniques and know the personal characteristics and features of your voice for your own gain and improvement, you’ll be able to focus on the artistic articulateness, creative self-expression and the delight of using your voice to stir and encourage others.

In the end, singing as an art and science goes hand and hand. One can not go without the other. (:

Voice Lessons

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Do you have a voice which could lead you to great heights in the music business? Or do you have a voice which leads you to awkwardness and object of mockery? Either way, voice lessons are for you!

Many people have reservations about being able to learn how to sing, because they have the notion that only those born with a talented voice can sing, and you have to be born with it to be able to do it. Others say you have to learn at an early age and there’s no hope for you if you try to take voice lessons at an older age. But voice teachers say, anyone can sing! Even if you are just moderately able to sing, they say with studying, practice and building your voice can lead you to a career in singing. If you are ready to face your fears, see yourself clearly and commit to regular lessons with a teacher, you can sing. Voice teachers also agree that if you’re born with a great voice but you take it for granted, even if you’re extremely talented, you’d go nowhere.

So either way, whether you have a brilliant voice or a not-so dazzling voice, it’s best to ask the help of a specialist. Find a voice teacher to help you sparkle!

Voice teachers note that not all can sing anything. One’s voice, even how good it is, can not necessarily sing all types of music. The purpose of taking voice lessons is finding out about your distinctive instrument and what it is perfectly suited for. That’s why it is important to take voice lessons even if you already have the inborn talent, to become keener of your gift. Even advance singers take voice lessons, because it’s useful for them to have another trained pair of eyes and ears. A teacher can assist you in arriving at your aims and ambitions more swiftly and effectively.

So, you want that singing career? Voice lessons will help take you there. (:

Magic Reviews

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

Magic Sing gets 5 out of 5 stars, the reviewers say so!

Here are some of them:

By Chua Anna
The first time we held the Magic Sing Mic in our hands, we can’t stop
using it. We would always lend time within the day just to be able to
sing our favorite songs and have some fun. And because it offers hundred
of songs, a day is not enough to sing it all. We have also thought of
several ways to enjoy it more like having a singing contest. We randomly
select some number and try to sing the song. The one with the highest
score is the winner. It is really fun and a new great way to ease our
boredom as well as the stressful day from work. We truly love this
wonderful piece and it’s definitely a part of our daily lives.

I just bought a recording pack so that I can save my songs for this mic is really a MAGIC!..my friends says the voice is awesome and I can really say I am proud of my microphone!
Rating:  [5 of 5 Stars]

By Donald Bowers
My wife and kids purchased the mic in the Philippies last year and now it’s regular family activity. The only problems is we spend many hours singing and the kids don’t want to go to bed.. Looking forward to purchasing some new songs chips.

Very good family activity rather than just watching TV or video games. I would recommend it to everyone. Also when we go to a family birthday party it’s always a big hit.

Singing Quotes

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

If you are a singer and wants to be one, take a look at what famous people and singers themselves have to say about singing, and get inspired!
 
“A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”
 Maya Angelou, American Poet
 
“Music is the purest form of art… therefore true poets, they who are seers, seek to express the universe in terms of music… The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life. They are not materials gathered from outside.”
Rabindranath Tagore, Indian Poet, Playwright and Essayist
 
“I think all the boys that write the screaming stuff would write the best love songs…. because they have the most to hide. The guys that are in the most pain are usually the ones with the biggest hearts.”
Tori Amos quotes, Pop Rock Singer
 
“Sing, Sing a song, Sing out loud, Sing out strong, Sing of good things, not bad, Sing of happy, not sad, Sing, Sing a song, Make it simple, To last your whole life long, Don’t worry that it’s not good enough, For anyone else to hear, Sing, Sing a song.”
Joe Raposo

“When a singer truly feels and experiences what the music is all about, the words will automatically ring true.”
Monserrat Caballé quotes, Spanish operatic Soprano

“Singing is such an excellent thing, that I wish all people would sing”
Richard Byrd

“Being a singer is a natural gift. It means I’m using to the highest degree possible the gift that God gave me to use. I’m happy with that.”
Aretha Franklin quotes, American singer of soul music
 
“I don’t want to be just a straight pop singer. I’m a vocalist and that’s what I want to be seen as in the long run.”
Christina Aguilera quotes, American Singer

virtuosogal Pierre Beaumarchais, French Comic Playwright

Who’s Bert?

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

It has been recorded that karaoke originated in Kobe, Japan. But do you know that the Karaoke Sing Along System (SAS) as in the practical, versatile compact machine which slots in an amplifier speaker, one or two tape devices, optional radio tuner and microphone mixer with elements to augment one’s voice, like the echo or reverberation to build up an opera hall or a studio sound (ok breathe…) with the entire system enclosed in one cabinet casing, is invented by a Filipino? Yes Pinoys, the Karaoke Sing Along System is patented under Roberto del Rosario, a Filipino prodigy.

Bert del Rosario is an acknowledged inventor with more than twenty inventions patented to his name. Some of his noted patents include the Trebel Voice Color Coded (VCC) Sing Along CDs, the piano tuner’s guide, the piano keyboard stressing device, the voice color tape and the one-man-band (OMB). This one-man-band was later built up as the Sing-Along-System (SAS). The Karaoke Sing Along System was patented on 1975. His other inventions include the Golf car trailer and No look-up Device, which shows his leisure pursuit with golf.

Besides being a productive inventor, Bert is also a flourishing businessman and a gifted musician. He is the president of the Trebel Music Corporation and plays various instruments. He learned to play musical instruments without formal lessons, like the piano, accordion and drums. He’s actually a management graduate at the Far Eastern University, which strikes us remarkable that he has made more than twenty inventions without a degree in engineering or even a science course. Talk about born talent!

I read about him saying, “Be observant. Be creative. Most of all, work hard.” It takes a passion for something to create something out of nothing. Like his passion for music which allowed him to learn instruments solely on his own, and later create things that would be of benefit to other music enthusiasts and experts alike.

See? That’s Roberto del Rosario. Way to go Bert!
