How to Sing Like Virtue

Virtue, the gospel music group, consists of three exceptionally talented sisters - Ebony, Karima, and Heather Streeter. All three possess powerful voices, but it is their unique blend of harmonies that sets them apart. To learn how to sing like Virtue, you must first focus on developing your voice's strength, pitch precision, and ear for harmonies. Here are some practical tips to help you start:

1. Focus on Breathing Properly

   Breathing is the foundation of singing, and it's crucial to breathe correctly when you sing. Proper breathing techniques allow you to support your voice, control the airflow, and sing without straining your vocal cords. Check out Singing Carrots' resources to develop proper breathing techniques, including the Farinelli Breathing exercise and the Breath Support article.

2. Train Your Voice for Range and Pitch Accuracy

   Virtue's music often includes a wide vocal range and intricate harmonies that require pitch accuracy. Vocal range exercises, such as Singing Carrots' Pitch Training game, can help expand your vocal range and improve your pitch precision.

3. Practice Singing with Others

   Virtue's unique sound comes from a seamless blend of three distinct voices. To learn how to harmonize effectively, try singing with others. Sing in groups or record harmonies with yourself to develop your ear for harmonies and learn how to blend your voice with others.

4. Choose Virtue's Songs to Practice

   To learn how to sing like Virtue, choose some of their most popular songs that showcase their unique vocal style. "Put Your War Clothes On" is a great song to work on your pitch accuracy and ability to maintain a consistent harmony. "Get Ready" is another perfect song to practice singing in harmony and blending your voice with others.

5. Listen to Virtue's Music Regularly

   The more you listen to Virtue's music, the more familiar you will become with their unique style. Listen to their songs repeatedly and pay attention to their harmonies, melody, dynamics and rhythm. Familiarising oneself with these aspects helps develop one's ear for music, allowing one to identify and perform strong harmonies.
