How To Avoid Vocal Strain

One of the most common problems in untrained singers is vocal strain, this can often happens to even famous singers who perhaps have had no formal training in how to get the best from their voice.

Learning ways to relax your self is an excellent way to protect your voice as well as increasing the level of your performances, because when you are relaxed you will tend to perform to your optimum ability.
