Moulin Rouge is known for its unique style of music that blends contemporary pop, electronic, and classic film scores, all infused with a French chanson feel. Many singers would relish the challenge of mastering the distinctive style of the film's leading lady, Nicole Kidman. Kidman performed on the soundtrack (in her singing debut) as Satine, a beautiful courtesan who falls in love with the poor yet talented writer, Christian, played by Ewan McGregor.

Kidman's vocal performance in Moulin Rouge was breathtaking, and aspiring singers can learn a lot by studying her technique. To sound like Kidman, singers should aim to develop a clear, breathy, and sustained singing style along with a light vibrato, often employing a heady mix of head voice and chest voice.

Singers who want to learn to sing like Kidman can begin by practicing their breathing, articulation, and pitch. Strong breath support, such as that taught in the Singing Carrots blog, produces a full and sustained singing tone like that of Satine. The articulation videos on Singing Carrots focus on the importance of open and relaxed mouth positions while singing instead of biting the voice. Singers also benefit from learning the techniques of head voice and chest voice registration.

The ballad "One Day I'll Fly Away" is a standout track from Moulin Rouge and highlights Kidman's signature style. "Sparkling Diamonds" and "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" are two other tracks that showcase Kidman and offer a range of opportunities to use twang, breathing support, and transitions between light and heavy modal vocal technique.

Singing Carrots' Pitch Accuracy test and the Pitch Training game are useful resources to develop and refine a smooth transition between vocal registers and light and heavy modal singing technique. The Vocal Pitch Monitor shows the pitch of sung notes on a virtual keyboard making it easier to see and correct vocal errors while maintaining correct pitch.

Singers can use other relevant Singing Carrots resources like the Vocal Range Test to find their vocal ranges and match them to the correct Satine songs. The search tool and song-book can also help to find and learn songs that best fit a singer's unique vocal range and need for improvement.

In conclusion, To sing like Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge, work primarily on breath control and support to maintain a sustained and clear vocal tone. Articulate clearly with open mouth positions using the correct vocal registration to mix head voice and chest voice appropriately. Use Singing Carrots' resources for pitch training, searching for songs, and expanding vocal range, and never be afraid to practice and experiment to develop your unique voice.
