Discover the Technique: The Crooning Style
The signature vocal technique in ‘Home’ is the crooning style, a smooth and intimate style that was immensely popular in the 20th century and brought back by Bublé. This style is also seen in songs by artists like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Bing Crosby.

Once you have understood the crooning style, the next step is to try and imitate it. A key element is the heavy use of the chest voice, which gives the warm, rich tone this style is known for. Watch our ‘Chest Voice Explained’ video to understand how to safely access and use your chest voice.
