Learning to Sing “Favorite Girl” by Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber’s “Favorite Girl” is a popular pop song requiring solid control over your breath and an ability to smoothly transition between vocal registers. Understanding your voice is the first step. Before you begin, it’s wise to determine your vocal range and review the basics of your voice type.
In “Favorite Girl”, Bieber uses his ability to transition smoothly between his chest voice and head voice, a technique known as mixed voice.
