If you want to sing like Sido, you need to develop your voice in a way that fits his music. Sido is known for his rough, sometimes even aggressive voice, which he uses to deliver powerful lyrics. To sing like Sido, you need to achieve a similar tone and attitude.
The first thing you should do is analyze your own voice and determine your range. Singing Carrots' Vocal Range Test can help you with that. Once you know your range, you can start practicing Sido's songs, which fall in the baritone or tenor range.
One of Sido's most popular songs is "Astronaut", which showcases his powerful vocal technique and his ability to switch between rapping and singing. To start practicing, use Singing Carrots' Songbook to find the lyrics and the instrumental accompaniment. Practice in front of a mirror, focusing on your posture and your breathing. Follow Singing Carrots' advice on breathing basics, breath support, and active breathing to ensure you have enough air to deliver the powerful lyrics.
Another way to improve your voice is to learn from Sido's unique vocal technique. He often uses a strong growling vocal distortion effect in his songs, which adds to his aggressive image. Singing Carrots' video on Vocal Distortion and Growling can help you master this technique.
