The Temptations are one of the most influential and successful R&B groups of all time. With their signature five-part harmonies and flashy choreography, The Temptations have endured for over 60 years. If you're looking to learn how to sing like The Temptations, here are some tips to get you started.

The first thing to focus on when trying to emulate The Temptations' sound is the vocal harmonies. Their use of stacked harmonies creates a rich and full sound that is instantly recognizable. To achieve this, start with basic harmonization exercises. Sing a simple melody and then try adding harmonies above or below it. Singing with a group or using resources like Singing Carrots' Pitch Training can also help you learn how to blend harmonies with others.

Another key aspect of The Temptations' sound is their use of falsetto. Many of their most iconic songs, like "My Girl" and "Just My Imagination", feature falsetto in the lead vocals. To master this technique, practice sliding your voice up and down into your falsetto range. It should feel light and airy, almost like you're singing in a higher register. As you get more comfortable with this technique, try incorporating it into your singing.

In terms of specific songs to study, The Temptations have many to choose from. "My Girl" is a great starting point, as it showcases their harmonies and use of falsetto. "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" is another classic track with a slightly more aggressive vocal style. For a real challenge, try singing "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone", which features lengthy vocal runs and complex harmonies.

To supplement your study of The Temptations' music, Singing Carrots' Pitch Accuracy Test and Vocal Range Test can help you determine your starting point and measure your improvement. The Vocal Pitch Monitor can also show you your sung notes on a virtual piano, while Pitch Training and the singing course can provide further vocal exercises and training.

By focusing on harmonies, falsetto, and The Temptations' iconic songs, you can learn to sing like one of the most legendary groups in R&B history.
