One of Zedd's vocal techniques is his signature falsetto-like vocal with a lot of airiness. It is essential to pay close attention to this technique when trying to emulate his style, as it forms the groundwork for his endearing sound.

By mixing Zedd's signature falsetto with Kehlani's deep and warm sound, you can create a unique vocal style that captures the essence of their collaboration.

To achieve this beautiful blend of sound, you'll need to concentrate on the following:

  1. Breathing techniques
    Breathing techniques play a crucial role in sounding like Zedd and Kehlani. Adequate breathing is necessary for achieving a falsetto-like tone, which is Zedd's go-to. Therefore, learn to understand how to use your breath properly while singing, focusing on diaphragmatic breathing. Additionally, you need to understand how to control your breath while singing to achieve Kehlani's deep, warm resonance. You can learn more about these techniques in the Singing Carrots breathing and respiration articles.
  2. Vocal range
    Zedd and Kehlani employ different vocal ranges in their music. Zedd's voice is at a higher level while Kehlani's voice is at her mid-level.

You can determine your vocal range by using the Singing Carrots vocal range test and train it using the pitch training exercises available on the platform.
  3. Distinctiveness - Vibrato and Articulation
    Zedd uses his vibrato (a tremble in the voice) to express his emotions' intensity, which is vital to replicate his vocal style. On the other hand, articulation is one of Kehlani's fortes; articulation involves pronouncing words in different ways, and mastering it will make you sound like them. You can learn more about these techniques in the Singing Carrots' vibrato and articulation articles.
