"HOW TO BE A GOOD A SINGER"

The next step to sing better is to put emotion into your lyrics. Good singing is not just simply remembering the lyrics and belting it out as if you are reading the lyrics with a tune. The singer is telling a story and just like a good story teller, the singer must be able to deliver to the audience and essence or emotions of the song such as suspense, joy, sadness, delights, mystery, relief etc

Therefore the singer must workout the phrasing of the song, practice it to perfection before performing on stage. By working the phrasing, the singer must first determine for example where to pause, where to join sentences, where to sing out loud or soft, where to sustain a little longer etc

Once that is done, then the singer may then practice singing out the song with the predetermined phrasing and make adjustments wherever is necessary. One way to know if the song can be well delivered and be well received is your own emotion. If you can't feel for the song, your audience probably won't.
