Vocal Technique

One of The American Breed's most distinct vocal techniques is the use of falsetto. The falsetto technique is vital in achieving a high range while also maintaining a smooth transition between registers. To incorporate falsetto, start by singing a phrase in the head voice while making the vowel shape like 'ooh.' Try to access the higher register in the 'ooh' phrase, gently emitting controlled vibrations and working on your pitch. Supersede the low-powered breathy tones with a more robust sound when moving to a higher voice. Check your progress while singing with the help of the Vocal Pitch Monitor tool.

Famous Songs

Some of The American Breed's famous songs, such as "Bend Me, Shape Me," "Step Out of Your Mind," and "Green Light," showcase Gary Loizzo's falsetto technique. To learn how to sing like Gary, work on individual songs with similar styles.
