Best tips to sing the low notes clearly and deeply
Low notes, the most frequently ignored and neglected subject in a whole singing theory. If only the artist practice singing them as intensively as performing high notes, there would be enormous progress in vocal techniques at all. Unfortunately, not knowing why, both beginners and professional singers habitually focus on mastering the high tones. No wonder. A break on the high note during a performance, in front of the audience, is one of the most embarrassing things that can occur on the stage. By a large, the audience principally rates the singer’s talent by the upper part of his vocal range. Low tones are just common and less interesting. But everyone who has the idea of the singing theory knows the low tones are as relevant as the higher ones. Sometimes, even more important. So, what ought you do if you are good singing vocalists who neglected the lower pitch? If you look for some quick advice, below you’ll find some functional information.

A pre-singing routine and its importance for the low notes
Regularly, even professional singers habitually forget or neglect the pre-singing routine. It is a truism, of course, but it is crucial to properly warm-up our voice. Warming-up on the entire vocal range is necessary. Without it, not only you won’t achieve your scale-edge sounds, but even the easier ones will be difficult to sing clearly. Another thing, often usually ignored, is a proper posture while we sing. Of course, when on stage and letting the music take us away, we straightforwardly are not even aware of our posture at the moment. But our vocal box is, and it can not produce low notes as we wish for then. Therefore, stand up straight during the performance but try not to be stiff. Moreover, keep the chest high and put your shoulders down. Sometimes, the most ambitious vocalists stubbornly try to sing the song in unsuitable key. Don’t do this. Always sing tunes being in your range and accept your limitations.
More advanced practices and exercises for mastering the lower sounds
Are you sure about the clarity of your voice range? Fine, there are a few more issues to work out. First, work on your breath support. Don’t let your belly collapse and keep it increased in size. Proper breath support is another crucial thing for singing low notes. Without it, they will sound just weak. The second relevant matter is engaging the resonance box in our face. Sounds strange? It shouldn’t! The quality of our voice strictly depends on the resonance chambers in our bodies. For singing low notes powerful, the chest and face resonators are top important. To master them, try to observe the influence of the face resonance for your singing. And adjust it suitable to your needs. If you train this effect regularly, the results will come very soon. Finally, there are many microphone techniques connected with embellishing the low tones. The easiest one is straightforwardly keeping the mic closer while we sing these sounds.
