Vocal technique, exercises, tips and relevant resources

Are you a beginner or advanced singer?

The Lorax Singers are a group of performers who use music to inspire environmental activism. Their unique style of singing combines a diverse range of vocal techniques and harmonies to create a distinct sound that encourages listeners to become engaged in protecting the planet. In this article, we will explore the vocal techniques of The Lorax Singers and provide practical advice on how to incorporate these techniques into your own singing.

The Lorax Singers are known for their use of belting and twang in their singing. They use belting to convey powerful messages and emotions, while twang adds a unique edge to their sound. This can be seen in their song “How Ba-a-a-a-d Can I Be?” where the lead singer belts with a powerful voice, while the harmony singers add the twang.

To incorporate these techniques into your own singing, it is important to first understand the concept of breath support. The Lorax Singers use breath support to create a strong and stable foundation for their singing. To practice breath support, try exercises like the Farinelli Breathing exercise, which can be found in the Skill-related Videos section of the Singing Carrots website.

Another important technique that The Lorax Singers use is vibrato. Vibrato adds depth and emotion to a singer’s voice, and can be heard in their song “Let it Grow”. To practice incorporating vibrato into your singing, try the “Diaphragm Bounce” exercise found in the Skill-related Videos section of Singing Carrots' website.

In addition to these techniques, The Lorax Singers also emphasize the importance of open mouth and throat while singing. This allows for proper airflow and prevents constriction in the vocal cords. This can be seen in their song “Thneedville” where the chorus is sung with an open mouth and relaxed throat.

To incorporate this into your own singing, be sure to warm up your voice and stretch your facial muscles before singing. The Finger Bite exercise found in the Skill-related Videos section of Singing Carrots' website is a great way to do this.

As you practice incorporating these vocal techniques into your singing, consider using Singing Carrots' Pitch Training tool to improve your pitch accuracy, Vocal Pitch Monitor to visualize your pitch and the Vocal range test to find out your range and compare it with the ranges of famous singers. Use the song search tool to find songs that match your vocal range and genre preference and create your performance set with the help of Song-book tool.

In conclusion, by following the techniques used by The Lorax Singers and incorporating them into your own singing, you can create a unique and powerful sound that inspires others to take action to protect the planet. With the help of Singing Carrots' resources and your own dedication and practice, you can achieve your singing goals and make a positive impact on the world.
