BØRNS - How to Sing Like a Power Pop Prodigy

Garrett Clark Borns first stepped into the limelight in 2014 with his debut single “10,000 Emerald Pools,” and quickly gained fans with his high-pitched voice and ’70s glam-pop sound.

If you want to sing like BØRNS, you must start with your influences: he was influenced by classic rock and pop music, which is evident in his music. He's a singer with impressive vocal range, hitting high notes effortlessly whilst also being able to tone it down and hit mellower melodies.

Here are a few aspects of BØRNS’ singing style you should focus on:

• Vocal Range: BØRNS has a very wide vocal range, with a high falsetto that is smooth and clear. To enhance your own vocal range, practise singing along with his music or start with a vocal range test from Singing Carrots.
• Unique Vocal Techniques: BØRNS incorporates his falsetto skills with a unique sense of melody, creating some dynamic runs that might be a bit tricky to replicate at first. You can explore the vocal techniques shared on this blog, including resonance, twang, chest voice, mixed voice, voice registers, articulation.
• High/Low Intensity: Versatility is key! While BØRNS is known for his high notes, he also does a great job with more restrained, delicate singing. For vocals, you can improve this quality by taking care of the airflow and breath support or practice songs based on pitch and interval.
• Confidence And Charismatic Performance: When you see BØRNS in concert, you're hit with two things right from the start: his magnetic presence and his killer vocal talent. To help you get there, work on your own performance skills, such as stage presence, comfortable posture, emotion control, and effective breathing.
