Vocal Technique Week 7

Incorrect vocal technique
 
 
 
When Avril Lavigne sings the chorus of the song, for example:
 
 "When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you"
 
she goes louder in volume, but she doesn't take in big enough breaths nor a good amount of them. She's attempting to belt which requires a wide open, vertical mouth and instead her mouth is horizontal and spread.
 
 
 
 
Correct vocal technique
 
 
 
 
 
Ariana Grande has great breath control and she takes the appropriate amount of breaths in. When she belts her notes, she has a vertical mouth which helps her hit the volume and pitch she's trying to reach in her chest voice. She also has the soft pallet raised, and you can tell that by her raised cheek bones.

  1. I've always thought Avril Lavigne was a horrible singer.
    I've seen Ariana Grande sing with good vocal techniques in a lot of videos. Sometimes she'll even put her hand on her diaphragm to make sure she is supporting her voice. I think it's nice when pop singers do this. It makes them seem like they actually had the talent to get to where they are.

    1. I feel as if most rock singers try to belt to make themselves sound more aggressive
