Welcome to Singing Carrots! Are you a fan of 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'? If so, you're in luck because this article will guide you through learning to master singing like Freddy Benson, played by Steve Martin, in the movie. To sing like Freddy Benson, you need to learn how to sing comfortably and use twang as part of your singing technique.

First, let's look at what twang means in singing. Twang is the certain way to create the most efficient, robust and resonant sound for most male voices whereas vocal fold density is a more critical element for female voices. Positively, twang can increase the power and sustain of singing.

First off, try understanding the song being tackled. In the case of Steve Martin/Freddy Benson, "Great Big Stuff" is a great selection. Listen to recordings of Steve Martin's live performances or to the original version to get a grasp of the melody, rhythm, and accompaniment.
