8 MOST COMMON SINGING MISTAKES
✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
1. Breathing Wrong: Many singers make the mistake of breathing wrong. Often singers will breathe from their shoulders or chest and add tension to their voice. But the truth is that learning to breathe for singing is easy to do. It just takes the right technique and some practice.
2. Not Warming Up: Warming up your voice is an incredibly important part of singing well. If the voice isn’t warm, it’s way too easy to miss the high notes you’re going for.
3. Your Voice Breaks on High Notes: We’ve all been there. You’re going for the high notes when all of a sudden, your voice cracks like a 12-year-old boy.
But vocal breaks are really common with singers. Sometimes, even famous vocalists break when they sing.
But if you properly warm up your voice, your voice will break much less often.
4. Singing Too Low/High for Your Voice Type
Knowing your voice type is important so you can know what to expect from your voice. Knowing your voice type is also helpful in knowing how high or low you can sing.

Mezzo Soprano: Mezzo Soprano is the second highest female voice type with a comfortable range of A3-A5.

5. Imitating Other Singers: The truth is that we all learn to sing at first by imitating others. The same is true when we learn to sing. Most of us started singing in the first place because we wanted to sound like our favorite singers. However, as time goes on, it’s important to work on developing your own unique voice.
6. Not Eating Correctly: Don't take Chocolate, coconut, cold water, ice cream, oil food or snacks, milk and too much sugar 4 hours before going to sing if not it will affect your singing, it will crack your voice so bad.
7. Lack of Practice: lack of Practice will cause lack of improvement on the voice, so practice for not less than 30minutes to 1hour daily.
8. Not Working With a Qualified Voice Teacher: The truth is that some singing techniques work better than others. So it pays to do a bit of research on the best voice teachers in your area and get one to help you.
