Such a feat would be beyond the scope of this relatively brief article. It should also be understood that this article is not an attempt at outlining a complete or systematic approach to voice training. However, I do understand that many of my readers are currently between teachers, or choose not to invest in private voice lessons for a variety of reasons, and are actively seeking helpful advice and sound guidance in how to improve in specific areas of vocal performance. More often than not, improvement is more rapid and steady when a singer has a knowledgeable and skilled vocal instructor helping him or her to develop his or her vocal instrument. This guide, along with the specific exercises contained in it, is not intended to take the place of professional voice training. These are exercises that can be added to an existing vocal workout program or used to supplement the vocal training provided during lessons with a singing instructor. If the most basic technical skills are lacking, then repeating the same exercises will likely produce the same, or even worse, results, as vocal fatigue, strain or injury may occur due to misuse of the vocal instrument. It is important to note that a singer will not automatically improve by merely attempting these exercises over and over again if he or she is applying incorrect technique to them. These exercises should be transposed according to the singer's voice type and range, as well as the specific area of the individual singer's range which is being targeted in the exercise (e.g., chest register, head register, primo passaggio, etc.). In this article, I have attempted to cover the major areas of vocal skill building, and have included at least one practical exercise for developing each of these skills.
