Many younger singers today are drawn to the sensational vocal deliveries which have become the halmark of so many pop singers and gospel singers..the traditional Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass voice classifications don't apply. What we have now is High, Middle and Low... where everybody sings a variation of something like "Tenor".. in this dispensation, most male voices are challenged to sing in what was previously regarded as Lyric tenor territory..forget about Bass. There is no real Alto or Soprano.. the female voices are sorted according to the singer's ability to "speak" the pitch..high middle or low..."speech level singing" is the term for this.

Music is gifted and projected from the soul, non-genre categorized. In the right hands, the vocal journey from that point is shaped and molded to the specific sound and captured in a range of comfortbility, in breathing life through a story. Know your talent - Stay within the vocal boundaries - Develop and Structure the Sound.

Someone once told me, if you want to sing, prepare something. I prepared a few solos and went from there. When you are asked to perform after someone has heard you sing, that is a positive reinforcement you are on the right track. I was capable of singing different genres from opera to gospel but seemed to have the most reinforcement in gospel (or, contemporary Christian music).

Absolutely, however I enjoy playing with off octaves with harmonizing alto and soprano with my table top taps. Let's compete!! 🔥💋

This will be a very generic contribution, because it will require a lot of soul searching, brainstorming and free improvising. While you study the styles of your most inspiring artists and genres, meditate on where you come from and where you want to go. These reflections go beyond music, and should englobe all the things that make you the irreplaceable individual that you are.

From mentors to peers, diverse viewpoints enrich our growth.

Wisely choose who you get feedback from! There are too many dream murderers out there! Pick experienced individuals who positively motivated you but who are honest enough to tell you if you're going the wrong way.

Vocal style and genre credibility is something that must be consistently developed, especially through youth. Listening to and practicing in a variety of musical style allows the singer to be inspired and try new things in a safe and nurturing environment such as in vocal lessons with a certified teacher. Students must endure when practicing that they do not strain or damage their voice while practicing certain vocal styles.

"🎵 The melody of growth never stops playing in the symphony of learning. 🎶 Embracing new techniques, exploring different genres, and evolving with the rhythm of change keep us in tune with progress. Let's stay hungry for knowledge, driven by the desire to keep expanding our musical horizons. 🎤📚 #KeepLearning #MusicalGrowth"
