First, let's acknowledge what makes Winnie the Pooh’s singing so unique. Pooh has a deep, mellow tone that is characterized by a sort of childlike joy and pureness. He has an excellent sense of rhythm and timing, which is crucial for many of his upbeat songs.
To improve your rhythm and timing, you can use Singing Carrots’ Pitch Training.

The game includes a pitch visualizer that shows you how on-pitch you are in real-time. Using this tool, you can practice your pitch and timing until you’ve improved.
To capture Pooh’s unique tone, you will want to work on your breath support, open mouth and throat, and active breathing. These skills will help you to deepen your voice and give your singing sound a rich, mellow quality. Singing Carrots’ Breathing Basics and Open Mouth & Throat articles provide you with exercises and tips to help develop these skills.
Of course, every singer needs to know how to warm up before performing. Singing Carrots’ Farinelli Breathing video is one of their essential warm-up exercises. This exercise helps to focus on the diaphragm and ensure you're breathing properly to support your voice. You can also practice humming and vocalizing to gradually ease into your warm-up.
