Singing Guide: Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber
Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources
If you want to sing like Ariana Grande or Justin Bieber, it's essential to explore their unique techniques. The right techniques will help you sing like them and improve your vocal skills! Here are three essential tips to get you started.
-
First, like Justin, learn to use your head voice and falsetto. Justin lets his sounds float and soar, especially during ballads. Exercises like "Humming," "Farinelli Breathing" and Singing Comfort Zone video may help you strengthen it. Practicing the chest-voice muscles is crucial.

Second, Ariana uses her chest voice and head voice to blend them together seamlessly- a technique called mixed voice. She also uses a lot of melisma - a run of notes on one syllable. Songs like “Dangerous Woman” and “No Tears Left to Cry” are good examples to check out. “Chest Voice Explained” video and "Beggar's Bounce" video suitably aid mixed voice and Vibrato techniques.

Third, Both Ariana and Justin possess an excellent breath control mechanism. Learn breathing techniques such as "Active and Passive Breathing,” "Breath support" and "Sustain vocal" video. It is a fundamental part of singing well regardless of your genre.
