Here are some take away tips you can use to start singing (and styling) better…faster!
- Sing the STORY, not the song
- Don’t copy what you’ve heard unless & until you’ve asked yourself WHY you’re doing that thing you’ve heard
- There will always be someone who sings better than you BUT no one can tell a story from your perspective but you
- Even if you could copy perfectly, why would you want to be a ‘good sound-alike’ when you could be the original?
- Styling tools (trills, runs, big hold notes, dynamics, power, etc.) are bling without substance if you don’t why you’re using them
- Just because someone else does something cool somewhere in a song does not mean that’s the only great thing to do there: find something that highlights YOUR voice.
Great vid….Great teacher.
So many younger singers tend to overdo the riffs and runs and pitch bend way too much.
Tell the story……Feel the story.
Thanks for the video! I 100% agree that we need to express the actual meanings, not by rote, but by heart. Animating the words so many hold and cherish, helping one another visualize what we are actually only then are we truly give our words meaning. Singing tips like these are very appreciated and need to be share. Thanks again!
