The Role of a Background Vocalist // Worship Training

------------------
Are you a background vocalist on your worship team? Your role is so valuable! Singing harmony is an amazing skill to have… but as worship team vocalists, more important than knowing how to sing harmony is knowing when to sing harmony. It’s so crucial that we understand our role as supporting vocalists on the team!
Check out my worship training video, “The Role of a Background Vocalist”, to learn practical strategies on how to assist and support your worship leader, the overall sound, and the worship experience you’re creating as a team. And even more than that… understand that your role goes so much further than just the sound! It’s about our whole presence-our appearance and body language on stage-and the heart and attitude that we bring to the team!
Are you a worship leader or worship pastor? Communicating vision and direction to your background vocalists is so crucial! Check out this training video to gain insight and language you can use to communicate effectively to your vocal team, and then share the video with your vocalists!
Make sure to download the accompanying workbook I’ve put together, which contains extra insights and self-assessment questions you can go through as an individual or as a vocal team!

This is educational, encouraging and inspiring during preparation for my first BGVs role in a long time. The biblical explanation at the beginning especially helpful. Thank you!

WOW, you mentioned everything that goes on on worship. As a background singer I thank you for this. Thank you for your great tips, advise and encouragement. When it comes to harmony I'm a bit insecure so I'm one that many times hold back and prefer to sing melody, but I do not hold back on my stage presence, I'm aware at all times that my role is to usher the people into His presence and if I'm not in His presence first then I cannot help the congregation to enter in. It's about God nothing more, nothing less.

Hi Sandy! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Love these videos! We shared this one with our whole team. Suggestion: Can you PLEASE do a video on microphone technique? This subject is so often ignored when we talk about excellent vocal delivery.

Great work! I love how you demonstrate your points so practically, showing the impact of making certain vocal choices (eg 7’35 in this video). That approach is particularly helpful for *showing* novice BGVs the benefits of honing their craft! Thank you! Why didn’t I discover your videos sooner??!

I appreciate this video. It's something I wish I had heard years ago. I've recently come to terms with the idea that I just don't fit in our worship team. My voice isn't pleasing to the leader, and that is very stressful. I am much happier worshipping in the congregation where I can give God all I have.

Do you have a training for musicians that are playing and singing at the same time? We have no dedicated vocalists in our small church. Every singer is also playing an instrument, so we have a lot running through our minds at the same time.

Hey Tinikia! So sorry to hear that! We want to get that sorted out right away! I do see on our end that we sent you the download for the Role of a Background Vocalist PDF, as well as the Free Lip Rolls Warmup... sometimes those get stuck in a junk folder, so maybe check there first. If you still don't have it, email us directly at sing@theworshipvocalist.com and we'll try it again! The $15/$2 page you saw wasn't about either of those free resources, it was a promo for our Essential Warmups audio download-you must have seen that advertised after downloading our free Lip Rolls Warmup!

Hey Claudia! Still you can use some of these same principles-I recommend that you plan out your harmonies and when each person will be leading and coming in, in each song, so that it creates a journey throughout each song and the worship set list.
Does it mean we can train to sing all parts?

I don't think there should be choirs or backup singers. Just a worship team where the best singers sing the most. This is from someone who used to be in choir and suffered much abuse in church. They found out I sang better than them and got jealous.
