“Arcade” Duncan Laurence (Cover)

[DontCareLL]

Hi.. you don't know me and I don't know you, but I'm going to give you a couple of tips for next time, because as my choir teachers (one is a retired Opera singer and the other is a retired musical actress who starred as Maria in the 'Sound Of Music' when it toured in Australia) always say: "anyone can sing, they just need to be taught how".

1. Sit up straight and angle your head upwards... then your voice won't get trapped in your throat and more sound will come out, it also means you won't have to strain your voice as much.

2. Sing louder. We can't hear you very well babes, and most of your words are getting swallowed up. I know Duncan sounds all husky and soft (sorta) but unlike Duncan, you don't have special sound systems that can make you sound louder. AND it means the notes (particularly the higher ones) cannot be heard so a lot of the time, it sounds like you are just speaking instead of singing.

3. Articulate, articulate, ARTICULATE!!!! Your words are not clear and the audience can't understand what you are singing. I don't think you want that right? You want your audience to actually be able to understand you.

4. Try singing an octave or two UP *OR* sing a song that is set in your key... basically, no Taylor Swift, Duncan Lawrence and Melanie Martinez. They are all WAYYY too high for the octave you are singing in.


5. Don't try anything fancy with your voice, from what I can gather, you haven't got any singing lessons just yet, so till then don't try any riffs and stuff. You are going to damage your vocal cords and you won't even be able speak.

Good luck and I hope this helps!
