Danny DeVito might not be the first person who comes to mind when you think of great singers, but he certainly has a unique voice and style that has charmed audiences for years.

DeVito's signature vocal technique involves a gruff, gravelly quality that can border on the comical. He often uses a nasal-sounding tone and emphasizes the character of the lyrics. While he may not be a technically perfect singer, he has undeniable charisma and stage presence that make him a joy to watch and listen to.

If you want to learn to sing like Danny DeVito, there are a few things you can do to emulate his style:

1. Emphasize the character of the lyrics. DeVito is known for his acting abilities, and he brings a lot of that same skill to his singing. He often puts a unique spin on the lyrics of a song, using his voice to convey humor, emotion, or irony. To replicate this, focus on really understanding the meaning of the song you're singing and finding ways to bring out all the nuances in the lyrics.
2. Work on your breath control. DeVito's voice has a distinctive, guttural quality that is partly due to his unique vocal cords and partly due to his breath control. To get a similar effect, practice deep belly breathing and engage your diaphragm as you exhale. This will help you create a richer, fuller sound.
3. Experiment with nasal tones. DeVito's voice is often described as nasal, and he uses that quality to great effect. Try practicing your singing with a slightly nasally tone, and see how it changes the overall sound of your voice.
4. Don't worry about being perfect. One of the most endearing things about DeVito's singing is that he's not trying to be perfect. He's focused on the character and emotion of the song, rather than hitting every note perfectly. So don't be afraid to take risks and try out new things as you explore your own vocal style.
