Mecano was a Spanish pop band that revolutionized the 80s music scene. To learn how to sing like Ana Torroja, the lead singer of the band, requires developing techniques in belting, nasal resonance, and vibrato control.

Belting is a vocal technique used for hitting high notes with a lot of power and intensity. In the song "Hijo de la luna," Ana Torroja belts to convey the emotion of the lyrics. To develop this skill, be sure to check the Vocal Range Test on Singing Carrots. It can help you determine your vocal range and develop your belting technique through Pitch Training.

Another key feature of Mecano's sound is nasal resonance. For this technique, you can start by humming, as it opens and enhances the nasal cavity. Check out this short Warm-up/Practice-starter to improve your nasal resonance. Stop sounding nasal with this video tutorial.

Vibrato is the variation in pitch heard in a singer's voice, and Ana Torroja's vibrato was remarkable. To achieve such a sound, try the Beggar's Bounce exercise and the Diaphragm Bounce exercise to practice your vibrato control.

When singing Mecano's songs, pay attention to how Ana Torroja uses her voice registers by switching from a chest voice to a head or mixed voice. Chest voice is the sound you make when you speak with lower tones, while mixed voice is somewhere in between. This Singing Comfort Zone Warm-up/Practice-starter exercise will teach you how to find a balance between the chest and mixed voice.
