Yanni's Technique
Yanni has a soothing and warm voice that captures his audience's attention. He achieves this through his use of vibrato, his control over dynamics, and his focus on breath support.
To emulate Yanni, start by mastering vibrato. Practice singing a note and adding vibrato to it, allowing your voice to vibrate up and down while holding the note. Remember to keep your breath support steady to avoid sounding shaky.
Next, work on your breath support. Yanni's vocals are steady and controlled, and this comes from his ability to control his breathing. Practice breathing from your diaphragm and using your abdominal muscles to support your voice as you sing.
Finally, focus on dynamics. Yanni's use of dynamics involves subtle changes in volume as he sings, helping to create a sense of movement and emotion in his music. Practice slowly increasing and decreasing your vocal volume as you sing to master this technique.
