Singing Guide: Children's Letter to God
Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources
Making a strong connection with your voice is an essential part of becoming a good singer. That's why it's essential to study different techniques and genres. It's essential to have a role model to follow. For those who want to learn to sing with tenderness and innocence, of course, a great voice to study is that of The Carpenters. Karen Carpenter had a voice that inspired many in the 1970s and continues to be an essential reference for those who love soft pop music. Her technique focused on the perfect combination of her natural, pure voice, and breathing control.
To learn to sing like Karen Carpenter, it's essential to start by understanding your own voice. Take the Vocal Range Test and see where your voice falls. Then review the scale, and pitch accuracy in the Pitch Accuracy Test. Work on breath control with the Breath Support article, and the Diaphragm Bounce. Focus on how you use your chest and head voice through the Mixed Voice warm-up.
After studying the basics, develop your performance skills through the classic Carpenters hits. Study "Superstar," which has a memorable slow tempo with a great melody that shows Karen's singing texture at its finest. Make sure to pay attention to the unique breathing style and tone control. "Close to you" showcases Karen's pure voice maintaining pitch stability with a very dynamic melody. Work on resonance and vocal projection through the gospel-flavored "Sing". Finally, pay attention to "Rainy Days and Mondays" for its perfect blend of head and chest voice.
