Are you an advanced singer ready to master âSpeechlessâ by Naomi Scott from Aladdin? This vocal tutorial will walk you through how to sing the most powerful parts of the song with control, freedom, and healthy techniqueâespecially the second chorus and bridge.
Iâm Jorgelina, a holistic vocal coach specializing in modern and contemporary singing. I help singers develop powerful, expressive voices using healthy techniques. And today, Iâll teach you how to sing âSpeechlessâ like a proâwithout straining or damaging your voice.
âSpeechlessâ (from the 2019 Aladdin live-action movie) is not a beginner song. It demands:
A wide vocal range (from low chest notes to an E5)
Strong vocal register transitions
Intense dynamic control
Mastery of mix voice and twang
This is one of the most vocally demanding Disney songs and requires you to already have developed your mix range and strong breath coordination.
Verse 1: Calm, spoken-like tone
Chorus 1: Soft, but requires smooth register transitions
Verse 2: Adds energyâbegin building momentum
Chorus 2: Emotionally intense, high energy, high notes
Bridge: Peak of the songâE5 for women, powerful delivery needed
Final chorus: Dynamic climax
Most singers struggle with the second chorus of âSpeechless.â Why? Because itâs high, intense, and sounds like it requires a ton of effort.
Power â Effort.
To sing this chorus without strain, you need three things:
Twang resonance
Mix voice coordination
Ease and body freedom
The ânayâ sound (as in nay-nay-nay) is a shortcut to help you find a bright, twangy resonance that powers through high notes without pushing your chest voice.
đ§ Tip: It must be pharyngeal, not nasal.
Say ânayâ with your tongue relaxed and the sound resonating behind your nose, not in your nose.
This helps you sing lines like:
đ” âI wonât be silenTâŠâ
âŠwith clarity and freedom instead of shouting.
Use these 3 quick body checks while singing high notes:
Is your spine free to move?
Can you move your jaw and head?
Is your air flowing easily through you?
If not, youâre likely over-efforting, which reduces vocal quality and increases risk of strain.
The bridge ("Iâll take those broken wings...") climbs to a powerful E5âright at the second bridge area of a female voice. This requires:
Consistent mix voice coordination
Controlled twang resonance
Smart vowel modification
You donât want to shout or flip into falsetto here. Instead, use the same ânayâ technique to practice first, and then substitute the real lyrics.
Professional singers often adjust vowel shapes to make high notes easier.
Example:
Instead of âwings,â sing âwengsâ or âweengsâ
Instead of âsilent,â open the vowel to âsahlentâ
These subtle changes wonât be noticeable to your audience, but theyâll make high notes significantly easier to access.
Tension in the tongue is one of the biggest barriers to singing freely. I teach a method that trains tongue independence and differentiated vowel shaping to unlock your true vocal potential.

Highly recommended; Jorgelina, the primary singing instructor knows her stuff and really helped guide me through finding my mixed voice.
She has huge amounts of knowledge on the science and theory behind singing and approaches lessons in a very structured but still personalised manner. Very happy with my decision to take lessons here.
I really struggled with the high notes before coming to Jorgelina! She's coached me through so many techniques and although there is so much to learn I feel like I've seen lots of progress already. My confidence has grown massively since joining the group classes too and she encourages performing at every opportunity. I love that Jorgelina takes a holistic approach to singing and understands that it's not just about sounding great, the voice also has strong connections to the body and mind. Thanks Jorgelina!
Bruh. Jorgelina is an awesome singing teacher! Super knowledgable, very engaged and 100% passionate. She's helped me a lot. Her methods and techniques feel organic and natural. She moves at your pace and is super supportive about you achieving your singing goals. Would recommend her to anyone with a vagus nerve (thats everyone btw!).
