HOW TO FIND YOUR OWN UNIQUE SINGING STYLE.
FINDING YOUR UNIQUE SINGING STYLE IN FOUR SIMPLE STEPS.
One of the most important tips to being a singer either you’re
singing for fun, or you are singing to make money is ‘finding your unique
singing style’. Packaged with this tip is ‘finding the kind of music that suits
you’.
To find a unique
singing style for yourself, you need to have previously figured out the kind of
music that suits you. Let’s assume you already know the genre of music that
suits you, if not click here and I’ll take you to an earlier article that teaches
on finding the kind of music that suits you.
1. FIND YOUR FAVOURITE SINGER IN THE SAME GENRE
AS YOU.
If you already know your kind of music, the next thing is
getting to know the singer you like best in that genre. For example, if your
kind of music is hiphop, you need to figure out which hiphop singer you’d
rather be if you were given a chance to be him for a day.
Ask
yourself the following questions:
Do I share any similarities with this singer?
Does listening to one of his songs make me want to download a
hundred more?
If the answer to
the questions above is yes, then you’ve found your music mentor. The bottom
line is do not aspire to be like them. Study
their style instead and improvise into yours.
There’s the story of
a boy who loved edsheeran . When he
thought deeply about it, he realized he didn’t actually, he realized he didn’t
actually loved edsheeran, he loved the sound of his acoustic guitar, and loved the
choice of words he used in his songs. The
little boy of 12 fell in love with acoustic guitars, got one for himself and
learnt to play.
Somewhere in the
long run, he figured he only got inspiration on words for his lyrics whenever
he strummed for himself. He realized he couldn’t sing along when someone else
played the guitar for him. He couldn’t find words nor note to compose songs.
Why?
He couldn’t
because that was his style, and no one
else could play his style better than himself. He couldn’t adapt to singing to
someone else’s style of playing the acoustic guitar. Hey; that doesn’t rate him
any less of a good singer and song writer.
He played for
himself, kept writing new songs, kept piling them and sharing. In no time, boy
at 13 got recognition for his unique style. You could listen to his song and
predict the singer without a clue except of course the singing style.
Finding your
favourite singer opens door to other discovery. Your style brings recognition
to your music and keeps your listeners hungry to hear another song from you.
2. Check into your
personality.
Your personality have a say in what
style you should sing. If you are a very emotional person with an insatiable
thirst for intimacy, then hiphop would most definitely not be your music genre.
You should look more at singing love songs, the kind you would with all of your
heart. Songs that require that you shed emotions.
3. Figure what your favourite musical instrument is.
Oh yeah! If you enjoy listening to
the sound of the violin, or viola, then you have a feel for slow tempo songs
that require long stretch voice sustain. That’s your style. And vice-versa.
Note : your style can also be a
mash up of varieties of musical instruments.
4.Find your
voice limit
Figure out the limit to how high or
low your voice can go by singing from your lowest bass and going higher until
you are unable to exceed a point. The keys between your lowest bass and your
extreme key is where your convenience lies. Your listeners will identify you by
the key pitch of your voice. See don Williams, as opposed to Whitney Houstin
yet they are both known for their respective styles and the level of the notes
in the product of their voices.
