Both Cantonese and Mandarin have been the most challenging languages I’ve ever tried to wrap my ear and mouth around—so many new shapes and sounds for my native English tongue. Thank you so much for the grace as I share this piece with you. For those who don’t know, this is a Cantonese song called Shanghai Bund (in English). It’s difficult, but a ton of fun to sing! #Singer #Artist #VocalCoach #Cantonese
Someone in my comments suggested I do a #TechTalk on this song, and I’m so glad they did. It was such a pleasure listening through it enough times to catch some of the gorgeous vocal details the Little Mix gals sprinkled in. My vowels and tone are definitely more bright and pointy compared to the warm, round tone they’re known for—but hopefully this breakdown gives you some fun stuff to dig into and play with! Remember: hearing these details clearly is the first step to adding them to your own vocal tool kit. 😘🎤 #secretlovesong #LittleMix #VocalCoach #Singer #voice #fyp #vocals #foryoupage
Lady Gaga’s “How Bad Do You Want Me?” is a banger. Killer songwriting. Slick production. A+ pop craftsmanship across the board. I’ll be honest—it never occurred to me how tough this one would be to sing. It’s clearly built for the studio, where you can punch in line by line and grab a breath wherever you need it. Singing it straight through? Whole other story. And yet… Gaga performed it live at Coachella. Full tilt. No net. She’s a beast—in the best way. Here are a few tips for tackling songs with marathon phrases and nowhere to breathe. #VocalCoach #LadyGaga #SingerLife #voicetips
Here’s a #techtalk, for Sia‘s “Chandelier”. A song like this is a full contact sport… Lol! Athletic, almost. Here are some techniques for you to check out and try. *Please note: I use the term “snatch“ to define a note at the end of a phrase that pulls downwards… Or snatches downwards quickly! #VocalCoach #Singer #Chandelier #Sia #Voice #Vocals
✨ Singer Things ✨ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… You gotta HEAR it before you can add it to your vocal tool kit! 🔨🪛🔧🥰 🎤♥️🎤 #VocalCoach #SomeoneYouLoved #lewiscapaldi #singerthings
You don’t need to flip a song inside out or stack on a zillion riffs to make it unique. Your voice already brings something no one else can—your tone, your texture, your quirks, your lens. Even if you stay true to the original, it filters through everything that makes you… you. “Finding your voice” isn’t about reinventing every melody. It’s about letting songs move through you— and trusting what comes out. #Hello #Adele #Singer #VocalCoach #Voice #Vocals
🚨 Grit is all over pop and rock vocals—but here’s the deal: it should never hurt. If it feels tight, sharp, or like you’re coughing out the note—pause. You’re pushing past your power zone. Grit lives on top of a supported, steady tone. We’re not screaming—we’re shaping pressure with precision. Sing with intention, not tension. #River #BishopBriggs #Grit #Singer #vocalcoach
