How to learn to sing a difficult song!
If you want to be able to sing that hard song with ease, you need much more than just pushing your voice to the limit. Let me show you how to work on a difficult song in an easy way that will help you accelerate your singing process and make singing healthy and sustainable, as well as show you how to learn to sing a difficult song!
For this exercise choose a song that is maybe a little bit, out of your comfort zone, but not too hard. Maybe a song that has maybe one or two notes that are a bit hard for you to reach right now. And then, you can apply this exercise to make it more easily.

Steps to sing a difficult song
1- Take the music away! So we can focus on the technique.
2- Sing the melody with an ‘ooh’ sound (demonstration in the video!), slowing down the melody. Make sure that your lips are toned and your teeth apart for the ‘ooh’ sound. The ‘ooh’ sound is very gentle and will stimulate your head voice so you can sing higher notes with ease.
3- Make sure you are singing the melody smoothly. Without ‘breaks’ in between. A continuous melody. If this is hard to achieve, use ‘vocal slides’ through your melody! Once you get the voice smoothly with the vocal slides, sing the melody ‘as it is’ smoothly with an ‘ooh’ sound.
4- Once you have the melody going, bring back the lyrics! If you follow those steps, your song should be much more ‘singable’ now.

I help people to develop their voice and singing from a holistic approach. I teach vocal lessons in person in Auckland, NZ, and online. Also stay tuned for my new online singing programs!❤️
My greatest passion has always been the voice, music and energy arts.
My personal and artistic journey has led me to understand that the voice and the body are fully connected, and that includes not only the physical body but also the mental, emotional and spiritual body.
Through holistic vocal training you not only learn to become a great singer while taking care of your voice, but you also improve your mental and physical wellbeing❤️
