Singing Guide: The Choirboys
Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources
Welcome to Singing Carrots! In this article, we will dive into the vocal techniques of The Choirboys, a British classical choir, and how you can learn to sing like them.
One of The Choirboys' most unique vocal techniques is their use of harmonies and blend. According to the members of the choir, the secret to achieving such beautiful harmonies is to listen closely to each other, and to constantly practice blending your voice with those around you.
If you want to improve your harmonizing abilities as well, we recommend starting with our vocal range test, to know your vocal range and be able to harmonize accordingly. Once you have found out your range, you can experiment with different harmonies and practice blending your voice with others using our Pitch Training - Educational Singing Game. The game includes a pitch visualizer, exercises for range and agility, and interactive vocal warm-ups to help you improve your blending techniques.
In addition to developing your vocal blend, another key aspect of The Choirboys' sound is their use of vibrato. Vibrato is achieved by changing the pitch of a note slightly, giving the sound a warmer and more expressive quality. To learn how to use vibrato in your singing, we recommend practicing with our vocal pitch monitor, which allows you to see your pitch accuracy on a virtual piano and make small adjustments to your voice as needed.
Of course, there's more to The Choirboys' sound than just harmonies and vibrato. Another key element of their style is their control over dynamics in their singing. They expertly manipulate volume levels to create emotional intensity or soft and delicate moments. To achieve vocal dynamic, you can learn from Breath support - The ultimate guide, an in-depth article that teaches you how to control breaths, and use Breath support properly. Warm-up videos like Farinelli Breathing also help here.
Finally, no discussion of The Choirboys would be complete without mentioning their repertoire. They perform a wide range of classical and pop songs, from Ave Maria to The Sound of Silence.
