How to Sing like Katja Ebstein

If you want to sing like Katja Ebstein, you have to understand her unique style, which encompasses various vocal techniques. Ebstein was known for her clear enunciation, dynamic singing, and emotional range.

Focus on "belting" and "Twang" Techniques

"Belting" and "Twang" are the vocal techniques that Ebstein used to great effect in her singing. Belting is a technique for producing a powerful and sustained sound that emphasizes the chest voice. Twang, on the other hand, is a technique for producing a bright, ringing tone that emphasizes the nasal and head voice.

To learn the belting technique, you can practice singing along with the Chest Voice Explained video tutorial provided by Singing Carrots. For Twang, try the How to Twang Exercise video, also provided by Singing Carrots.

Expert Control over Breath Control

Ebstein's breath control was a key part of her technique. She could sustain long notes while maintaining a steady airflow. She also used breathing as a way to add nuance and emotion to her singing.

To improve your breath control, try the Farinelli Breathing Exercise, which you can access from the Singing Carrots resources. This exercise will help you develop your diaphragm and allow you to control your airflow more effectively. Be sure to practice breathing exercises regularly to build up your lung capacity and develop better breath control.

Practice with Songs Suitable to Your Range

Ebstein's repertoire included songs with a wide range of notes and rhythms. She could soar to high notes with ease, while also delivering moments of quieter, more intimate singing.

Your first step should be to determine your vocal range. You can use Singing Carrot's Vocal range test to discover it.
