Singing Guide: Frozen
Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources
If you want to learn to sing like Elsa, the character voiced by Idina Menzel in the Frozen movies, there are a few key elements you should focus on.
- Elsa is known for her powerful belting ability, particularly showcased in the song "Let It Go." To achieve this, you'll want to work on breath support and vowel shaping, both of which can help you develop a strong, resonant sound. Singers looking to work on belting may find the pitch training exercises on Singing Carrots to be particularly helpful.
- Elsa is also recognized for her use of vibrato, which can add depth and emotion to a performance. If you're looking to improve your vibrato, Singing Carrots offers a specific video exercise that can help you get started.
- Elsa's repertoire offers a great opportunity for practice. Along with "Let It Go," other songs like "Into the Unknown" and "Show Yourself" offer plenty of material to help you work on your belting and vibrato skills. Singing Carrots offers a helpful songbook feature that allows you to find songs based on your vocal range and preferred genre.
- Finally, focusing on good posture and breathing can help you open up your sound and project your voice more effectively. This Singing Carrots article offers some specific advice on posture.
