Singing Lessons: How to Hum for Better Projection

It really hurts to see how people struggle with projection. If you feel that your voice is weak or has no power behind it when singing certain notes, you will have to take a step back to analyze how it sounds. Take a good look in the mirror if you can while you do it. I’m going to point out the most common reasons why a good projection eludes many people and how to quickly fix the problem.

I don’t know if you are aware of this, but when you speak, your voice is more powerful. Why then do you struggle to project the same power when you sing? The reason is very simple. You are not using your spoken voice to sing. And I’ll warn you right here. This is the hardest bad habit to break. And here’s another reason you’re experiencing the undesirably low projection levels with your voice. You lack drive. Yes, if you don’t press, it’s not going to happen. So how do you fix this singing problem and break the cycle of bad habits that have plagued your advancement as a singer? This is what I will recommend to you.

What I like about humming is that, if done correctly, it helps to focus the voice so that the voice is projected through the mouth area. Now to be sure that you are really projecting, you will want to hear a powerful voice that wants to jump out of your closed mouth, and additionally, you should feel a buzzing sensation around your lips and a tingling sensation in the front of your face. . . If your voice is weak and you don’t experience any of the above, then this is what makes your projection difficult when singing. How to fix this? Practice humming so that you experience all of the above when you do. Pick any old song and hum that song using your speaking level at first and moving up the scale as you hum. The irony is that if you can’t project your voice at the speech level when singing, you will have a lot of trouble projecting a voice that is not only fuller, but one that has wood in its voice.

Bottom line: voice projection is one of the most common problems inexperienced singers often experience. This little problem could prevent you from achieving your dreams of becoming a better singer. The solution is simple. Hum your way to better projection. Humming is by far one of the quickest ways to focus your voice so that you project it properly and more effectively when you sing. Who wants to hear a meek, weak and powerless voice that lacks conviction? I know that it is not. So why would you let this easy-to-fix problem stop you? Hum in your speaking voice and climb the ladder, and you’ll project your voice like a pro when singing in no time. It’s definitely one of the easiest ways to correct this common singing problem.
