Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources

Are you a beginner or advanced singer?

If you want to learn singing like Annabella Lwin from Bow Wow Wow, you need to know how to mix pop, punk, reggae, and tribal rhythms in a distinctive and upbeat style. Annabella's music is known for her high-pitched girlish screams and childlike yelps that make her sound unique.

First, you need to identify yourself with her voice type and register, as well as her use of melodies and looping in her songs. Bow Wow Wow's music is known for its tropical-inspired drumbeats, quirky lyrics, and exotic sound. Try to sing the reggae-styled song "C30 C60 C90 Go!" to familiarize yourself with her style.

To achieve the energetic and unpredictable timbre that Annabella is known for, you should practice active breathing and resonant singing. Here are some exercises that could help:

  • Breathing: Try the Farinelli breathing exercise, which involves inhaling sharply through the nose while the mouth is closed, then exhaling slowly. This can improve control and power of your breath.
  • Warm-Up/Starter: Use "Farinelli Breathing" as a starter for your vocal practice. It's quick, engaging, and offers powerful breathing control.
  • Posture: Stand upright, keep your shoulders back and chest out. This will expand your lungs and allow more air to flow through.
  • Resonance: To get a deeper resonance and a stronger voice, try humming exercises. Focus on creating a steady hum, relax your jaw, and feel the vibrations in your mouth, nose, and chest.
  • Articulation: Practice articulation with the finger bite exercise. Place your index finger in your mouth, bite it, then sing, paying attention to how your lips, tongue, and jaw move.
  • Nasality: To eliminate nasality, practice breathing through your mouth, dropping your jaw, and opening your mouth wider.
  • Chest Voice: Learn how to use your chest voice effectively. This will improve breath control and resonance. Try to follow the "Chest Voice Explained" exercise clip.
