Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources

Are you a beginner or advanced singer?

Milk and Honey is a contemporary R&B duo composed by producer Robin Hannibal and singer-songwriter Victoria Port. The band's sound draws inspiration from jazz, pop, and electronic music. Both members bring unique elements to the duo: Hannibal's production skills dive into futuristic soundscapes, while Port's haunting and velvety voice gives a unique vibe in their songs.

If you want to learn how to sing like Victoria Port, there are some techniques you should focus on. First, note her diction and crisp sound. The technique of precisely enunciating consonants and vowels to make words more understandable is known as articulation. To increase your ability to articulate, practice the Finger Bite technique.

Victoria Port's voice is emotive and powerful, delivering a sultry tone in every note. Therefore, it's crucial to understand how to control your breath and use it effectively to produce strong notes. Farinelli Breathing is a warm-up exercise that can help you become aware of your breathing and improve your breath control.

One of the unique aspects of Victoria Port's voice is the way she sings in her higher registers. To develop this skill, you must learn to build good breath support, which will help you maintain power and control as the sound moves into your upper range. Take the Singing Comfort Zone exercise to practice singing in your upper registers.

Victoria Port's style is heavily influenced by jazz, which requires a slightly different approach to singing than pop or R&B. Jazz singers often use a technique called Vibrato to add emphasis and variations to their notes. Practice adding vibrato to your singing using the Beggars Bounce and Diaphragm Bounce exercises.

Milk and Honey writes songs with a unique vibe. Learning how to sing these songs correctly will require matching their vocal range and pitch. Use the Singing Carrots Vocal Range test and Pitch Accuracy test to determine your vocal range and match it with the duo's.

In conclusion, learning how to sing like Victoria Port can be challenging, but it's a worthwhile endeavor if you're interested in producing a haunting, emotional sound. By focusing on your articulation, breath control, and pitch, you can begin to imitate the unique vocal stylings of Milk and Honey. Use the tools and exercises provided by Singing Carrots to improve your overall technique and achieve your goals. Happy singing!
