How To Sing for the Beginner & Actor
How To Sing by John Oxley a DVD of six singing lessons that will help you develop your natural singing voice. You will be able to see and hear John describing and singing examples to you!
Because of John's knowledge of the singing voice he has developed a clear set of lessons which will assist singers from across the world. His experience of working with people from different parts of the world extend to the UK, Bristol, London, Iceland, Denmark, Belgium, Lebanon, New Zealand, Australia, Africa, Portugal, USA, Canada, Malta, etc.
Each singing lesson on the DVD will guide and help you develop the singing techniques you will require. We realise that self discipline is important for you to progress and practicing these lessons regularly will benefit you.
Practice! Practice! Practice is the only way!
Each lesson is explained and demonstrated for you and builds on the previous one but they can also be studied independently.
Please keep in mind at all times that when you are studying the singing lessons it is not speed you are looking for but accuracy and your own vocal AWARENESS. You will need to use your ears and listen for the subtle changes in your voice as you progress.
We recommend that you record your voice before and after your singing lessons. This will give you an indication of how your voice sounds to you through the recorded medium.

Singing Lessons
There are many vocal techniques for singing lessons. However, in the contemporary world we live in today, most vocal styles can be divided into classical and popular music. At Natural Singing we address both these areas with our video singing lessons dvd.
Singing Teacher
Your singing teacher John was once a student (like you), then a professional and then a singing teacher. However during his years as a professional singer and singing teacher he will say that singers who practice their skills and techniques regularly will learn more. By watching the dvd video lessons you will see, hear and learn this from your singing teacher.
Singing Tuition
All singing begins with breath. Breathing in everyday life is a subconscious function which occurs naturally, however with the correct singing tuition the singer will gain control of the flow of breath in and out of the lungs. Through our singing tuition you can achieve control of this and realise the benefits for your voice.
Voice Training
Voice training is very important. In essence, training your voice can improve your singing ability tremendously. Just like a person who trains for piano playing, the more a person trains at playing piano the better they will become and their overall performance will improve. The same applies to voice training.
Healthy Singing
Healthy Singing is considered by some to have a positive effect on our health. A self-reported study of students participating in choral singing found perceived physical benefits like better breath control, improved mood and stress reduction suggesting that healthy singing may positively influence the immune system through the reduction of stress.
Singer: Kevin J. Maclean, is preparing to make it big in the music industry after being signed to a major record label. The pop hopeful, whose influences include Enrique Iglesias and Snow Patrol, added: "My asthma was really bad when I was younger but, when I started singing lessons at 15, it got a lot better, another example of healthy singing.
Singing Classes
When you watch the video singing classes on the dvd we have tried to create a 'fly-on-the-wall' feeling where John will occasionally engage with you, the viewer, and occasionally it will seem that he is working with a student. By learning "How To Sing" this way John can easily demonstrate to you during the singing classes about singing, breath control, posture, diction, resonance and more. By approaching the singing classes this way we know this will help you immensely to teach you How To Sing.
