Louise Troy was an American mezzo-soprano who was renowned for her rich, powerful voice and her exceptional control over her breathing and phrasing. Troy possessed a dark, velvety sound that was uniquely suited to operatic repertoire, and she was greatly admired for her dramatic intensity and emotional expressiveness. If you aspire to sing like her, there are several techniques and exercises that you can try to emulate her style and voice.

One of Troy's signature vocal techniques was her use of vibrato, which helped to add color and depth to her singing. To develop your own vibrato, you should try practicing exercises that focus on breath control and pitch accuracy. Singers can follow the Farinelli Breathing exercise to enhance their breath control and use the Beggars Bounce and Diaphragm Bounce videos to develop their vibrato. It's important to remember that vibrato is something that should come naturally, so be patient and persistent in your practice.

Troy also had a remarkable range, which she used to great effect in songs such as "Habanera" from Carmen and "O Don Fatale" from Don Carlo. If you want to expand your range, you can practice exercises like the vocal range test and pitch accuracy test offered by Singing Carrots. Additionally, the Pitch Training and chest voice/vocal break exercise videos can help you build the necessary vocal muscles and control to sing in your upper register.
