Singing Technique of Pop Songs

Breathing

It is a general mistake to take control of breath by our throat's muscle in singing because the throat's muscle is not strong enough to control our breath in singing. Instead, we should control our breath by the diaphragm which is a strong muscle locating between our lungs and stomach. When we take deep breath, the diaphragm should get tight quickly and release slowly. We should practice to retain the tightness of the diaphragm and make it control the release of air slowly after a deep intake of air. Such practice of diaphragm control will usually take several months. It is good to diagnose our breathing technique by singing 'vibrato'. We should feel the vibration of our diaphragm instead of our throat.     

Resonance

Resonance is something like the Reverb effect, that provides natural effect that enrich our singing effect. Resonance is produced by the cavities in our head. This is one of the reason why we need to maintain strong air to push sound to the cavities and produce resonance. Unlike classical singing, we don't need to produce all notes with resonance when we sing pop songs. However, we still need such technique of resonance especially when we try to sing high notes.
