Singing Guide: Eddie Holman

Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources

Are you a beginner or advanced singer?

Eddie Holman is one of the most unique voices in soul music with an impressive falsetto and range. The falsetto extends beyond the typical soul tenor range, making his high notes sound effortless and almost ethereal. Being able to control your falsetto in a way that's healthy for your voice is essential to sing like Eddie Holman.

One of the best ways to start developing your falsetto range is to practice humming. Humming requires a healthy breath stream and correct vocal placement, which is similar to what you would use when singing in falsetto. Start practicing with exercises like the Humming Warm Up.

It's also essential to learn how to sing with vibrato. Vibrato refers to the slight wavering in pitch that adds character to your tone. Holman's voice exemplifies how adding vibrato to your falsetto can make your voice soar. Singing Carrots has multiple videos on our YouTube channel that can help you develop vibrato into your singing.

To get a feel for Eddie Holman's unique voice and style, find some of his hit songs, such as "Hey There Lonely Girl" and "This Can't be True". These songs will also be useful for developing your ear for intonation and improving pitch accuracy. Singing Carrots also provides a Vocal Pitch Monitor where you can see the exact pitches you're singing, so you can make sure you're singing in tune.

Another helpful resource to consider is our online vocal range test. Eddie Holman had a four-octave range, which includes falsetto notes. Take the range test to get a better understanding of your voice and where you may need to improve to reach Holman's level.

Finally, Singing Carrots offers an online course to help you improve your singing skills and techniques. The course covers a range of topics, from vocal range and pitch accuracy to breathing and articulation. Take the course to develop your voice and become a better singer overall.

In conclusion, learning to sing like Eddie Holman requires practice and dedication. It's essential to develop your falsetto range, work on intonation and pitch accuracy, and find your voice through vibrato. Singing Carrots provides the resources needed to help you develop the skills necessary to achieve Holman's unique falsetto sound.
