Question
QUESTION: Hello. I'm not good in falsetto, vibrato & breathing. So how can i train it?

ANSWER: Hi Janice.  And thanks for writing.

Are you taking voice lessons or singing with a coach or teacher?  That's the best way to learn these techniques.  Breathing is the first and most important part of singing.  Learning to breathe from your diaphragm is essential to a great voice.  The more support you have from the diaphragm that more possible it is for you to develop a good falsetto or vibrato.

Does that help?

Answer
Hi there...Thanks for answering back.

I would recommend highly that you take voice lessons or classes.  Proper technique is essential to do well with singing.  If you are not careful, you could hurt your voice permanently.  

PAIN?   THAT IS NOT GOOD!!  I would like to ask that you STOP trying to sing and to do your own thing.   You need to drink hot lemon and honey and STOP so that you can heal.

Once you have rested for at least a week, then I would like to suggest that you find a voice teacher or coach.  You are not singing properly and you need some assistance.  I cannot help you from here to do this well.  You need someone to help you there.

I know that this might seem like a major request to ask you to stop.  But it is essential.  Otherwise, you may never be able to sing again.  

Does that make sense?

Wishing for you someone to help you learn to sing properly,

Wanda
