Gilbert and Sullivan, born in the 19th century, wrote comic operas, some of the most popular of their era.

To learn to sing like Gilbert and Sullivan, you must first become familiar with operatic singing, specifically the light opera style which was so beloved in the 19th century and well-executed by Gilbert and Sullivan. To achieve a Gilbert and Sullivan singing style, one can seek out traditional opera training: learn about voice types, pitch accuracy, breathing basics, voice registers and the vocal break, breath support, and much more.

Gilbert and Sullivan often wrote in English, so knowing how to articulate properly and precisely in English can be particularly helpful.

The typical solo piece from their repertoire might be "The Nightmare Song" from "Iolanthe" or "A More Humane Mikado" from "The Mikado." These challenging songs showcase soprano and tenor voices with wide ranges, so pitch training and vocal range exercises, as well as some of the resources on Singing Carrots, can be useful.

Some specifically relevant Singing Carrots resources include:

• Vocal range test
• Breathing basics
• Voice registers & vocal break
• Warm-up/Practice-starter
• Vocal Pitch Monitor

Remember to study the Gilbert and Sullivan songs, and become familiar with their melody, rhythm, and accent. Watch live operas and recordings of Gilbert and Sullivan operas to develop a fuller understanding of the style.

By practicing the right technique and using the right resources, you can learn to sing like Gilbert and Sullivan!
