"How fast can I improve my singing?" How's instantly for an answer. You can improve your singing right now with one simple technique - sing into your teeth.
Aiming your sound directly into the back of your upper front teeth is a great way to pull your voice, and your resonance, further forward in your head. Singing with a very forward resonance is not only the healthiest way to sing, but it's also a terrific and easy way to make more sound and better instantly. Forward resonance is healthy singing because it requires less effort from the larynx by having the body's hard surfaces do the majority of the work to produce sound. When the natural resonators are used correctly, the throat and larynx can relax. The less work going on in the throat while singing, the better.
Since you dont have a target painted on the back of your upper front teeth, try this instead: Pucker your lips and say Ooh. Do this continuously for a few seconds. Aim the sound directly at the back of your top front teeth. You will feel a slight tingle, or vibration on the back of your front teeth as the sound waves pass. It's a very subtle sensation, and the first few times you do it, you may have to close your eyes and really focus on how your teeth feel. Once you feel that tingle, you may notice that your throat and larynx automatically relax.
This is resonance! If you sing straight into your front teeth all the time, you will create resonance. You will sing more easily with less physical effort required to make the sound.
