Singing like Mickey Mouse: vocal training and techniques
Mickey Mouse is a timeless character that holds a dear place in many of our hearts. He's loved for his fun personality, his high-pitched voice, and his infectious singing on shows and movies, especially in 'Mickey's Follies'.
If you're someone who has always dreamed of singing like the iconic mouse, there are a few things you should keep in mind to get started.
Breathe from the diaphragm
One of the most recognizable features of Mickey's voice is his high-pitched tone. Achieving this takes a lot of control over the muscles in the vocal tract, and it starts with good breathing technique. It's important to breathe from your diaphragm instead of your chest, as it can give you more control and power over your voice. Practice taking deep breaths and exhale slowly. Repeat this a few times to get comfortable with the technique.
Loudness control & articulation
Another aspect of Mickey's voice is his ability to deliver his lines loudly, without resorting to shouting. When trying to achieve this, make sure that you enunciate your words properly. Mouth the words together and say it out loud while you're enunciating the letters.
