Two great examples of how to make a song your own. It’s not enough to learn the song and sing it the same way as the original singer. Sadly, that’s pretty much all that a lot of singers do. To create your own vocal style, to recognise your own strengths and weaknesses is a most important aspect of your musical development allowing you to get past being merely an imitator of other singers.

Kate demonstrates what can be done with a simple change to the groove and how it provides a completely new vocal angle whilst still making the song instantly recognisable.

This is a handy lesson on how you can move freely between chest and head voice for effect and for extending your range. This is an important singing technique to master and will help you develop the freedom in your voice to experiment with song keys and feel.
