Singing Guide: Dick Tracy
Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources
Dick Tracy, as portrayed by Warren Beatty, is a suave, smooth-talking crooner with an unmistakeable vintage charm. Singing like him is all about embracing that timeless vibe and creating music that captivates audiences just as much today as it did back in the 1930s.
To really nail that Dick Tracy sound, you'll want to work on your vocal control, paying particular attention to that smooth, almost slick style of delivery that's become synonymous with the character. In addition, incorporating some of his signature belting techniques can really help bring your performances to life and take them to the next level.
So which songs should you be focusing on when trying to channel your inner Dick Tracy? For starters, "Live Alone and Like It" is a fantastic choice, as it really showcases that suave, old-school charm that Tracy is famous for. Other great options include "Back in Business" and "Sooner or Later", both of which feature powerful vocals and plenty of emotion, making them the perfect choices for singers looking to hone their technique.
And of course, no discussion of learning to sing like Dick Tracy would be complete without mentioning the incredible resources available at Singing Carrots. From vocal range and pitch accuracy tests to interactive pitch training games and even a 21-lesson singing course, there's no shortage of amazing tools and educational resources to help singers of all levels take their craft to the next level.
