Rosie & The Originals were an influential Chicano rock band from California, known for their unique vocal stylings and mix of R&B and doo-wop influences.
If you want to learn how to sing like Rosie, you need to master her signature crooning style, which is characterized by a smooth, deep, and sultry voice.
One of the best ways to learn to sing like Rosie is to practice her classic hit, "Angel Baby." This song showcases her exceptional vocal range, her emotive delivery, and her innovative use of falsetto. To nail this song, you need to practice hitting high notes and transitioning smoothly between different vocal registers. Singing Carrots' vocal range test and pitch accuracy test are excellent tools to determine your current vocal range, as well as identify areas where you need to improve.
Breath control and support are also essential for singing like Rosie. Singing Carrots' breathing exercises can help you develop the control and support necessary for singing long, slow phrases, such as those found in "Angel Baby."
Another key element of Rosie's singing style is her use of vocal vibrato. Singing Carrots' "Singing with Vibrato" article and "Beggars Bounce" and "Diaphragm Bounce" videos are excellent resources for mastering this technique.
Finally, maintaining good posture while singing is important for achieving Rosie's signature sound. Singing Carrots' "How posture affects your singing" article and "Good Singing Posture" video are great places to start.
