Vertical Worship is a contemporary Christian rock band that has been an up-and-rising force since its inception in 2012. The band’s mission, which can be felt in every song, is to inspire and create a spirit of worship not just in words, but in every aspect of a singer’s life.

If you're looking to learn to sing like Vertical Worship, then the key is to master the band's signature blend of worship rock that balances energy with passion, and leads listeners to the path of spiritual enlightenment. Here are some Singing Carrots resources you can use to achieve that end:

• First, you'll need to analyze your voice to figure out your vocal range so that you can better match the singing range of the band's lead singer. This can be done using our vocal range test.
• Once you've determined your range, you need to understand voice types and how they're classified. This will allow you to better understand your own singing voice.
• Now, let's delve into the specifics. Vertical Worship often uses Twang and Belting contemporary vocal techniques to create a dynamic, energetic and passionate sound. The Twang technique involves creating a nasal sound by constricting the vocal chords and lifting the soft palate. To learn this technique, try using the "How to Twang Exercise" video.
• The Belting technique, on the other hand, gives Vertical Worship songs their epic and powerful sound. The heavy enveloping sound is created by blending chest voice with head voice. You can better understand Chest Voice and how it relates to your voice registers by checking out the "Singing Comfort Zone" video.
• The song that best showcases Vertical Worship's Belting technique is the popular anthem "Yes I Will." The song's powerful energy is created with a pulsating beat that gives way to an epic chorus.
• To master the Belting technique yourself, our Pitch Training program will help you achieve it by guiding you through vocal warm-ups and exercises that focus on range and agility.
• Sing the song "Yes I Will" with proper technique and your vocal cords will certainly feel the burn, so it's important to be mindful of proper breath support. Check out our exhaustive list of articles on breath support, active and passive breathing, breath control and respiration.
• Make sure that your mouth and throat are properly open while singing to avoid any constriction. At Singing Carrots, we have guides on why it's important to keep your mouth and throat open while singing.
• As you get more familiar with Vocal Belting, you’ll be able to master proper vocal distortion and growling in the song "Open Up the Heavens," which features the band's lead singer's use of these techniques to create spiritual intensity and deep emotion.
• To make sure you’re singing in pitch and mastering Vibrato (a common effect in contemporary Christian rock), try out our Pitch Accuracy Test and "Singing with Vibrato" guide.
• Finally, our songbook can help you find Vertical Worship songs that match your vocal range, genre preference and difficulty level. The sheet music, karaoke, and YouTube audio tracks are all included, so you can create your performance set effortlessly.

Following the Singing Carrots’ resources and utilizing Vertical Worship's signature blend of Twang and Belting will give your vocal cords a workout and create a spirit of worship in every song you perform.
