In this article, we will focus on the techniques used by Selena Gomez in her recent collaboration with 6LACK, titled "Crowded Room".

Selena's unique voice brings a refreshing and dynamic quality to every song she performs, and "Crowded Room" is no exception. Let's dive into some of her techniques to learn singing like Selena Gomez.

Vocal Technique and Style

Selena Gomez has a unique and identifiable vocal style. She often uses breathy and soft tones that create an intimate and emotional quality. This style requires excellent breath control, which is the foundation of all great singing. To achieve this breath control, start with breathing exercises that help control exhalation during singing.

Breathing Exercises

An excellent breathing exercise is the Farinelli Breathing exercise. The exercise focuses on supporting the breath using the diaphragm, which helps singers develop breath control and stamina. The exercise is easy to follow and can be found in the Singing Carrots resource section.

Voice Registers and Vocal Breaks

Voice registers change as the pitch of the voice changes. Selena Gomez often navigates between her chest voice and head voice to create emotional depth in her music. A higher register called "mixed voice" often blends the chest and head voice registers for a smoother transition. The video "Mixed Voice" in the Singing Carrots resource section, demonstrates an exercise that can help develop a well-formed mixed voice.

Pitch Accuracy

Pitch accuracy is the ability to hit the right note at the right time. The "Pitch Accuracy Test" in the Singing Carrots tool section is a great place to start to improve pitch accuracy. It is essential to train your voice to stay within your vocal range to avoid straining and potential voice damage.

Song Selection and Practice

Always select songs within your vocal range. Selena Gomez's "Crowded Room" is a great song to practice singing in your vocal range. Using the Singing Carrots song selection tool, you can find songs that match your voice type, range, and genre preference. This resource also provides lyrics, sheet music, audio, and Karaoke tracks to aid in learning a new song effectively.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Selena Gomez's unique vocal style showcases her control, breathing, and pitch accuracy abilities. By incorporating breath control exercises and focusing on voice registers and song selection, students can learn to sing like Selena Gomez while adhering to best practices.
