Thank you for this short video! I’m in my 40’s and finally embracing that my voice is a baritone and learning a few country songs.

I never thought I could actually sing other than in my truck but I posted a few 60 second songs on ultimate guitar and got over 16k views. Now I’m motivated to get better. Thanks for the tips!

You left out #5, which I call the Slim Pickins technique. You use a little touch of voice crack where you go to a higher frequency for a split second. I think Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks use it a little. And #6 Unecesary amounts of vibrato, which of course is how Toby Keith sings any time he holds a note longer than a split second.

Singing for a competition and I’m on the country genre. I definitely do not sing country (more pop and Rnb) so I’m hoping I’ll pull it off! This is so helpful!

Me over here as a classical trained singer who can opera😂 trying to get the cry Patsy Cline got in her voice. I don't have high range anymore because of too much rural air exposure in a dusty as heck farming community, but a really good alto tone.
@tayloracademyofmusic8873

I can relate! I was pretty much exclusively trained in classical singing, until I finally started branching out into contemporary styles of music myself! With the right exercises and consistency, you should be able to build up that higher chest voice range within a few months! Then, you could use your strong alto range to really be a powerhouse! 💪
Thank you (and I subscribed). I "do" John Denver, Glen Campbell, Eddy Arnold, and other "classics." As for "sounding Country," that is my C.B. radio voice. 🙂

I like to mimic the Keith Whitley / Randy Travis / Willie Nelson thing. I'm not sure what to call it or how to explain it. It's an old school country buzz, but not in a deep voice.
Is that song out? It's amazing and you sing it wonderfully! Thanks for the tips by the way. I'm not sure if singing country is right for my vocal range. Though I think these tips can help me improve for when I just sing for fun. 😊

Okay, but how do you know what note you want to sing to or are supposed to sing to? When I'm making my own and I would go high in pitch how do I know what I'm supposed to hit. I don't understand that

Fair question! Learning how to tell the distance between notes (interval training) is a great way of teaching your ear and throat how to work together to sing the right note. Check out our video on this that shows you how to get started on learning how to hit the right pitches! kzread.info/dash/bejne/hpd3maSYiKbOlpc.html

Heck, I’m still trying to get more buzz in my voice! The more buzz I use, the lower, my overall volume output can be! Instead of focusing on the quantity of Voice, I can focus on the quality!

1. Focus on improving your diction/pronunciation of your words to sound authentic and excellent for country style vocals 2. Listen to female country artists you aspire to be like, then imitate things they do (until you slowly develop your own preferences/styles that make you unique) 3. Make sure you pitch, nation, and rhythm are excellent! Without these as a foundation, any stylistic improvements you make to your voice won’t translate well to an audience!
yeeehaaaaawwwww
Oh so voice buzz is vocal fry! And you can use vocal fry throughout your range? This is new! I can only use it before my first break (around a G4)! Thanks for this
@tayloracademyofmusic8873
Жыл бұрын
Yes! Using voice buzz, specifically through your break, helps your vocal folds stay closed and connected so that you don’t accidentally break/flip when you don’t mean to! My suggestion would be to use a very low amount of volume, then slowly build up your stability of using voice buzz in the E4-B4 range. If done properly, you should be able to very lightly speak in that range using your relaxed chest voice without pushing or pulling. Best of luck and thanks for watching! 🙌
