Are you a beginner or advanced singer?

If you want to sing like BLACKPINK and Selena Gomez, there are a few things you can do to gain their unique vocal techniques. BLACKPINK's style often features impressive vocal range and extreme contrasts between their high notes and low growls, which adds excitement to their songs. On the other hand, Selena Gomez's music is characterized by her clear, low voice that emphasizes emotions.

To start developing your skills in line with these artists, you should begin by analyzing your own voice. This can help to identify your vocal strengths and weaknesses and the style that you are most suited to. Check out How to analyze your voice blog article for more tips.

You'll then want to enhance your vocal cord muscles to reach high notes.
