Learning to Sing “Lose Control” by Evanescence
“Lose Control” is a powerful song by Evanescence, delivered with exceptional emotion by lead vocalist Amy Lee. A blend of operatic vocals and hard-rocking orchestration, the song presents an excellent opportunity to hone your singing skills.
Identify Your Vocal Range
The first step to learning any song effectively is to analyze your voice and understand your vocal range. Amy Lee is known for her mezzo-soprano voice, but if your vocal range is different, don’t fret. You can modify the song to suit your voice. Use the Vocal range test to determine your range.
Understand Belting Technique

Ensure you’re using proper breath support through diaphragmatic breathing to help prevent vocal strain.
