If you are looking to learn to sing like Pierangelo Bertoli, you’re in for a vocal challenge. This Italian singer-songwriter was known for his poetic, yet powerful lyrics, as well as his unique vocal style that combined a rough, gravelly voice with a melodic tone.

First, find your passion! Bertoli was passionate about his music, and that shone through in his performances. So, take some time to find the music that inspires you and makes you feel something. It could be anything from rock to jazz, but the important thing is that you truly enjoy it and are passionate about it.

Bertoli's voice had a unique texture and he used a lot of dynamics to express himself. To develop this style, focus on singing expressively with a lot of nuance and emotional depth. Use different dynamics, such as a soft, breathy voice to build tension before crescendoing into a powerful belt that conveys the emotion behind the lyrics.

If you want to sound like Bertoli, it's also important to understand the mechanics behind his unique voice. Bertoli used a lot of vocal fry and growl in his singing, which requires a lot of breath support and control. To develop this sound, work on exercises like the growling and twanging exercises found on the Singing Carrots skill-related videos.

You should also practice proper breathing techniques to support your voice when singing like Bertoli. The Farinelli breathing exercise, found on Singing Carrots videos, is a great place to start. This exercise provides a method for efficient relaxation of the diaphragm and expansion of the ribcage that encourages the free flow of air while singing and speaking.

When it comes to performing like Bertoli, practice is key. You can use Singing Carrots vocal training resources, such as pitch accuracy tests, pitch visualizer, and exercises for range and agility to improve your vocal skills and expand your repertoire. Song search tools on Singing Carrots also allow you to easily find songs that match your vocal range, difficulty, and genre preference, while the Song-book feature enables you to create your performance set and receive linked lyrics, sheet music, chords, karaoke, and YouTube audio.

Finally, remember that Bertoli's music was about connecting with his audience. So, don't be afraid to show your emotions and express yourself on stage.
