Singing like Chris Curtis

Now that you have warmed up and practiced your techniques, it's time to put them into action. Chris Curtis is known for his powerful vocals and his ability to add an emotional edge to every song he sang.

One of his notable songs is "Sweets for My Sweet". This song showcases Curtis' use of belting and his ability to switch easily from chest voice to head voice. Pay attention to his use of vibrato and intentional tonal changes, which make the song stand out.
