(Newswire.net — June 21, 2014) — A new lens on squidoo.com was published to reveal five absolute must-haves that every aspiring singer needs when learning to sing. Contrary to common beliefs, the lens discusses the fact that a natural talent for singing is not necessary to become a better vocalist.
Squidoo.com is a community website platform that allows users to create pages, called lenses. The new squidoo lens was created as a way to educate aspiring singers about some important aspects of vocal development. Katarina, the creator of the lens, is a speech and language pathologist with a love of singing. She shares her knowledge about vocal mechanism and techniques at several virtual spaces, including the squidoo lens.
Before the five essentials are revealed, the new lens gives an overview of reasons why people want to learn to sing. The article then discusses the question: can anyone learn to sing and what is required to achieve results in one’s singing development.
Readers can then learn about five basic requirements for learning to sing. Some of these items are cheap and readily available, other elements are more complex and require research on the part of the singer. Some requirements are personal traits, such as dedication and patience. The article explains how you can compensate for a perceived lack of natural talent to achieve vocal excellence in a healthy way.
The lens also presents a video about vocal ranges and voice types. Voice classification, which was developed to categorize operatic voices, considers vocal range, pitch abilities, voice quality, voice colour and most comfortable range to classify voices. Categorization of non-classical singing voices is done more loosely. The video offers a simplified tool to find out one’s vocal range and voice type.
Detailing the many health benefits of singing, the article encourages beginners to invest time in building their vocal skills. It suggests resources, such as books and websites that offer invaluable information and practical advice to people who are learning to sing. The lens also gives suggestions for easy traditional songs to sing for new singers.
