Singing Guide: Rudimental
Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources
Rudimental, the British band known for their energetic live performances, combines elements of electronic dance music (EDM), drum and bass, and soulful pop in their music. Their unique sound is driven by their use of live instruments, particularly their incredible use of drums and percussion.
To sing like Rudimental, you must first work on developing control and power in your vocals, while paying close attention to the rhythm and percussion-heavy beats that define their sound.
One of the key vocal techniques that Rudimental uses is called vocal agility, which is the ability to change pitch and shift between registers quickly. This technique can be honed through exercises like lip trills, tongue twisters, and octave slides. Another important technique is breath control, which is essential for singing long, sustained notes.
