Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources

Are you a beginner or advanced singer?

If you want to sing like Peter Gabriel of Genesis, you will need to master his unique vocal style, which is informed by his mastery of dynamic range, tonal clarity, and emotive delivery. Gabriel's signature style was evident in many of Genesis's songs, such as "The Musical Box" and "Supper's Ready." If you want to learn how to sing like Peter Gabriel, here are some tips:

  1. Master dynamics: Gabriel's dynamic approach to singing is a key feature of his unique style. Work on exercises that help you develop control over your soft and loud singing abilities, as well as your ability to transition between the two. A vocal range test like this one can help you to determine your range.
  2. Emote: Gabriel's emotive style is another element that sets his singing apart. Focus on connecting with the emotional content of the lyrics in the songs you want to perform, and allow yourself to feel and express those emotions in your singing.
  3. Use vibrato: Gabriel's use of vibrato adds an expressive quality to his singing. Consider incorporating vibrato into your own singing, and practice using it in a way that feels natural and authentic to your own voice.
  4. Experiment with different voice registers: Gabriel is known for using different voice registers in his singing, from falsetto to chest voice. Experiment with using these registers in your own singing, and find ways to incorporate them into your style.
  5. Practice breathing techniques: Proper breathing is essential to good singing, and Gabriel is known for his use of breath control to create tension and release in his singing. Work on exercises to improve your breathing control and lung capacity.
