1. Learn how to sing correctly so you can screw
it all up when you sing songs." When I say
that to my students they tend to think I've lost
some marbles. "Why should I waste time and
money studying with a brilliant, handsome
and amazingly talented teacher (I kind of
added that last part myself), if I'm going to go
against what you teach me when I sing
songs?"

2. Actually, that's a good question Let's examine my answer: The human
voice has the amazing ability to actually change its quality It can sound
nasal, like an old time country singer or blues singer It can sound
breathy like a soft ballad singer It can sound husky and "throaty", like
Bullwinkle or Sylvester Stallone It can sound brassy and irritating
3. It can sound "croony" like Bing Crosby or Michael Buble doing soft
intimate ballads It can sound like a flute when Barbara Streisand or
Mariah Carey sing in their beautiful and haunting high range It can sound
full, rich and even "operatic" Name another instrument that can actually
change its natural quality as dramatically and as drastically Well, the
guitar can do it, but only with the help of effects pedals The trumpet can
change its quality somewhat if the player is very skilled or they use a
mute
4. The piano is pretty much stuck with one sound quality, although great
players can use that one quality to evoke many moods But the voice can
actually change its quality when the singer wants to make it happen
However, that singer needs to practice and develop the different sounds
in order to use them to their best advantage Too many potentially great
singers are unable to achieve their potential because they sing with only
one or two of the many possible qualities They mistakenly believe that
because their sound is nasal or breathy, they are limited to singing only
certain kinds of songs
5. The full, rich and powerful voice is the most difficult to develop, and yet it
defines the great pop, rock, country or gospel singer Do they use that
powerful quality all of the time? No Most of their vocal quality throughout
a song may be soft, or nasal or breathy, etc tips to hire voiceover artists
But when the song calls for power and excitement that quality is in there,
ready to be used Start by developing the best, richest and brightest voice
you can get
6. You might have to work with a teacher to achieve this Then, singing with
the other qualities is easy The goal is to develop and perfect as many
different qualities as you can Then you have an arsenal of possibilities to
call on for different songs
