She is known for her breathy, soft, yet piercing voice that often makes her listeners feel relaxed and calm. If you want to learn how to sing like Jasmine Thompson, here are some tips to get you started.

Vocal Techniques

Resonance

Resonance is the key component to her signature sound. Jasmine’s voice is naturally resonant, which means her vocal cords vibrate at the right frequency to produce a full, rich sound. To achieve this resonance, she reduces tension and stress in her neck muscles and throat, allowing her vocal cords to create a pure tone.

Breath Control

Jasmine's quiet and breathy vocal style requires excellent breath control. To achieve this, you need to take deep, controlled breaths that last for several seconds. Practice breathing exercises like the Farinelli Breathing exercise to help you increase your lung capacity and strengthen the muscles used for breathing while singing.

Voice Placement

Jasmine Thompson focuses on her head voice to create her unique sound. To make their voice fuller and richer, most singers use their chest voice. But for Jasmine's soft voice, she uses her head voice primarily, keeping her cords relaxed and breathing from the diaphragm to create a natural, breathy sound.

Vibrato

Jasmine Thompson's voice is characterized by a subtle and gentle vibrato that enhances the emotion and depth of her songs. Practice her signature vibrato technique by practicing diaphragm bouncing exercises, like Begger's Bounce.

Song Selection

Jasmine’s song choices often showcase her gentle vocal style. Songs like “Old Friends,” “Willow,” “Like I'm Gonna Lose You,” or “Adore” are a perfect example of the kind of music that can help you develop your own soft and mellow singing style.
