Singing Guide: Aladdin
Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources
If you're trying to learn to sing like the Aladdin soundtrack singers, there are several techniques that will help you get closer to their sound.
One thing that's important for singing Aladdin songs is having good breath support. This will help you sustain those long, belting notes that are such a hallmark of the movie's soundtrack. To work on your breath support, try the Farinelli breathing exercise. This exercise builds both breath support and control, and will definitely have you sounding like a pro in no time.
Another technique that can help you nail Aladdin songs is to focus on singing with a mixed voice. The term mixed voice refers to a blend of chest and head voice, which is crucial for producing those clear, powerful, and bright vocals that the characters in the movie are known for. The Chest Voice Explained and Voice Break videos can be very helpful for practice, also remember to practice glottal onset to emphasize the transition.
One of the core elements of the Aladdin soundtrack is its use of vibrato. The song “A Whole New World” is a prime example of this technique. Vibrato is a rapid variation in pitch that adds soul and character to your singing voice. Learn how to use vibrato in your singing with the Singing with Vibrato article.
The Aladdin soundtrack is also known for its mix of Emotion, control, and performing techniques, and the Relaxing Breath exercise is a great way to get started.
Finally, when you're practicing Aladdin songs, make sure to warm up your voice properly. A good humming exercise can help you get your vocal cords ready for singing, and the 3 Minute Warm Up video is another great resource.
In conclusion, mastering singing like the Aladdin soundtrack is no easy feat, but with some preparation, practice, and hard work, you can sing ‘A Whole New World’ just like Aladdin and Jasmine.
