If you want to learn how to sing like the characters in Elf: The Broadway Musical, then you should know that this production showcases various vocal and acting skills. The performers have to convey a wide range of emotions, from comedy to drama and particularly when singing the show’s catchy tunes.

Some of the notes reach the high belt range, so the performers need to have excellent breath support, vocal agility, and pitch accuracy. You can use the Singing Carrots Vocal Range Test to determine your range before you start.

One of the lead characters is Buddy the Elf, who is portrayed by a tenor who can move seamlessly between a falsetto range and a full-throated chest voice. He sings two solos that show off his skills in “Sparklejollytwinklejingley” and “World’s Greatest Dad.” The former is a high tempo number that needs excellent breath control, even in long-held notes, while the latter is a beautiful ballad that highlights the tenor’s emotive powers.

If you want to learn how to sing like Buddy, then you need to learn how to advertise childish wonder and have a stable upper register that can go from calm to full-throated in seconds. To work on your upper register skills, you should try Singing Carrots Pitch Training, which offers warm-ups, exercises, and visualizations.

One of her solos is “Never Fall in Love (With an Elf),” which showcases her vocal control and range.

If you want to learn how to sing like Jovie, you should focus on improving your lower register and work on accessing the dark and sultry sounds of your voice.
