Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources
Herman’s Hermits were an English band formed in Manchester in 1964, known for their catchy pop songs and upbeat melodies. Lead singer Peter Noone’s youthful voice and playful stage presence added to the band's appeal, making them a fan favorite of the British Invasion.
If you are looking to learn how to sing like Peter Noone, there are a few things to keep in mind that will help you emulate his unique vocal style.
- Firstly, Noone was known for his bright, clear tone, which he achieved by focusing on his breath and maintaining a relaxed jaw and throat. Breath control is a key element of any good singing technique, so be sure to check out Singing Carrots' breathing exercises to improve your technique.
