Christine and Adrian rehearse at the Savoy Theatre Go through breathing exercises and vocal exercises regularly, to ensure that you're warmed up before singing, and that your singing technique is sound. Even a little will help - ten minutes of regular practice can make a big difference.
Put on one of your favourite CDs and sing along to a song that you know well. Choose songs that have a familiar, simple melody and a limited range.
Try a tricky song or a difficult note - it may be challenging, but this is a great way to develop your technique and range.
Take passages of songs apart and really think about the words and sounds you are singing.
You can sing anytime anywhere. Practise singing in the shower or anywhere you won't be overheard. Long car journeys are a great opportunity to practise in private!
