🎤 How to Sing “Speechless” from Aladdin – Advanced Vocal Technique Breakdown

Are you an advanced singer ready to master “Speechless” 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 technique—especially the second chorus and bridge.

I’m Jorgelina, a holistic vocal coach specializing in modern and contemporary singing. I help singers develop powerful, expressive voices using healthy techniques. And today, I’ll teach you how to sing “Speechless” like a pro—without straining or damaging your voice.

🎶 Why “Speechless” Is One of the Most Challenging Disney Songs to Sing

“Speechless” (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.

📌 Vocal Breakdown: Structure and Difficulty

• Verse 1: Calm, spoken-like tone

• Chorus 1: Soft, but requires smooth register transitions

• Verse 2: Adds energy—begin building momentum

• Chorus 2: Emotionally intense, high energy, high notes

• Bridge: Peak of the song—E5 for women, powerful delivery needed

• Final chorus: Dynamic climax

🔥 How to Sing the Second Chorus (The Hardest Part)

Most singers struggle with the second chorus of “Speechless.” Why? Because it’s high, intense, and sounds like it requires a ton of effort.

But here’s the truth:

Power ≠ Effort.

To sing this chorus without strain, you need three things:

1. Twang resonance

2. Mix voice coordination

3. Ease and body freedom

✅ Use the “Nay” Sound for Twang

The “nay” 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.

🧠 Tip: It must be pharyngeal, not nasal.
Say “nay” with your tongue relaxed and the sound resonating behind your nose, not in your nose.

This helps you sing lines like:

🎵 “I won’t be silenT…”

…with clarity and freedom instead of shouting.

💡 Check for Effort: Are You Singing with Freedom?

Use these 3 quick body checks while singing high notes:

1. Is your spine free to move?

2. Can you move your jaw and head?

3. Is your air flowing easily through you?

If not, you’re likely over-efforting, which reduces vocal quality and increases risk of strain.

🎼 Bridge Technique: Hitting the E5 Power Note

The bridge ("I’ll take those broken wings...") climbs to a powerful E5—right at the second bridge area of a female voice. This requires:

• Consistent mix voice coordination

• Controlled twang resonance

• Smart vowel modification

You don’t want to shout or flip into falsetto here. Instead, use the same “nay” technique to practice first, and then substitute the real lyrics.

🔄 Modify Your Vowels to Sing Easier

Professional singers often adjust vowel shapes to make high notes easier.

Example:

• Instead of “wings,” sing “wengs” or “weengs”

• Instead of “silent,” open the vowel to “sahlent”

These subtle changes won’t be noticeable to your audience, but they’ll make high notes significantly easier to access.

💬 Advanced Tip: Free Your Tongue

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.
