Vocal Techniques

• Vocal Range and Dynamics: Kubb's vocals often have a subdued and breathy quality, particularly in the low range. Focus on singing softly and gradually increasing volume, whilst maintaining control.
• Articulation and Diction: Clear and crisp articulation plays a significant role in Kubb's sound. Practice enunciating words clearly and concisely, especially the consonants.
