Izzle, I've just started working on the inhale/exhale exercise, and the link you provided is great. Thanks again for reply to my post, you were very informative and helpful. It's great to have some help with what I really need to improve on; now I know to really improve my breath control and (by-product) work on the pitch(?) of my vibrato. Thank you so much. Keith, I didn't know that. I'll switch it out with the "si," thanks a lot for the tip. Hr

Hi Izzle, Thanks so much for replying to my post. Before three months ago I didn't have a vocal exercise routine, I would just sing intermittently, but i always breathe through my diaphragm. Since three months ago, I've been doing exercises for about 25-30 minutes 5-6 days a week. I use the deep breath technique (hold the breath for a count of ten, release, repeat). Then I use (mostly) the C and G scale for do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti or 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1. Also, I didn't realize I was slurring my words, though I'm not certain how to work on that. Would that require a vowel exercise? Sorry, I'm so green. Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it. Hr

Hi everyone, I hoped someone could give me a review on one or three of my Acapella covers below. I've loved to sing for a long time and just started making instruments, but wanted to start adding vocals, if my voice sounds alright to others (it usually seems to sound fine to me). My singing is without training, so please tell me if there are any areas you think I need to work on. I'm currently trying to work on breath control.
