Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources
Learning to Sing Like a Cat
If you have seen the 2019 musical Cats and loved the singing, you might be interested in learning how to sing like the cats. In this article, we will explore the unique vocal techniques and songs of Cats and give you some practical advice and Singing Carrots resources to help you achieve that distinctive sound.
One of the most significant features of the cats in Cats is their use of nasal tones to make their voices sound more like a cat's meow. To achieve this sound, it's crucial to use the soft palate and nasal cavity. Singing Carrots' "Stop Sounding Nasal" video is an excellent resource to help you get started with nasal tones.
Another critical vocal technique in Cats is the use of vibrato. Vibrato is when a singer slightly changes the pitch of a note to create a pulsing sound. It can give your singing a more expressive and animated quality, perfect for emulating feline vocals. Check out Singing Carrots' "Singing with Vibrato" article to learn how to add this technique to your singing.
When it comes to songs, "Memory" is one of the most iconic songs from Cats. It showcases the vocal range of the character Grizabella, played by Jennifer Hudson in the 2019 film. Singing Carrots' "Search songs by vocal range" tool will help you find songs that match your vocal range and difficulty level to challenge yourself and up your singing game.
If you're just starting, Singing Carrots' "Pitch Accuracy test" can help you assess your pitch accuracy and identify areas for improvement. And to help you practice your vocal technique, the "Pitch Training - Educational Singing Game" is an entertaining and highly effective tool to add to your practice routine.
