Start with a strong breath support

Breath support is an essential aspect of singing, and it is especially important to achieve Seger’s signature sound. Seger’s voice is projected from the diaphragm to give it a deep, resonant quality. By practicing breathing exercises, such as the Farinelli breathing method provided by this article, you can build the lung capacity and control required for this style of singing.

Embrace your voice type

It is important to understand your vocal range and voice type to sing like Bob Seger. He is a baritone with a gravelly tone, which suits his style of music perfectly. By taking Singing Carrots’ vocal range test and reading about voice types and classifications, you can learn more about your voice and how to use it.

Practice chest voice singing

Seger’s style relies heavily on his chest voice, which gives his singing its full-bodied quality. To develop your chest voice, start by practicing chest voice exercises provided by Singing Carrots. Incorporate these exercises into your warm-ups to strengthen the chest voice and improve your range.

Improve your upper range

Although Seger’s vocals are mainly chest voice, he also displays a strong upper range. To work on your upper range, such as those showcased in songs like "Turn The Page" and "Against the Wind," take Singing Carrots’ pitch accuracy test and try pitch training exercises like “Educational Singing Game” and finger-bite. These exercises will help improve your pitch accuracy, tone production, and overall vocal control.
