How to Sing Any Song Better

[@kimmigabb7684]

“ Pathfinders” laying on my back, taught me to sing from diaphragm instead of straining...💕🙏 it made a huge difference, and I even hit lower notes now. Thank you for a heart of worship!

[@worshipvocalist]

Totally! That’s a technique I teach in my Master Your Voice course!

I thank you so much for all you do and share. You are helping me get my voice back at 54 and not using it in a few yrs. 💕💖💞🙏🏻💜✝️

I loved the part where she talked about changing the key. I'm a baritone, so I often need to change the key of the songs because many of them are too high for me and even though others are not, I prefer to be comfortable, so I still change the key. I used to struggle with not having a tenor voice, but, I don't care any more, I'm beginning to accept and like the voice God gave me and focusing on getting better every day. Great advice for all of us who maybe sometimes felt like are voice wasn't enough. :)

[@titov7823]

Same! Baritone worship leader here! :)

[@worshipvocalist]

100%! I change the keys all the time for my voice too and there’s no shame in it!! Sing where you sing well!

[@DianaLHarding]

Thank you for such great tips! I’ve shared some of your videos with my worship vocalists, and they are SO helpful!

[@worshipvocalist]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lucyjalin965]

strategy 3 is the most helpful! I always just sing songs over and over again, thank you so much for this tip and I'm excited to try!

[@worshipvocalist]

You're very welcome!

[@junecastillo576]

Started your course in Jan 2022. So much great info and your teaching technique is fab! I do hear a difference in my voice already. I’m excited to keep moving forward with your training. Let’s also note that the cost of your course is very affordable and nothing compared to the benefits received. I’ll be submitting my checkup soon before moving on to the next course. Praise God for you teaching us your years of perfecting your gift! You are so appreciated.

[@worshipvocalist]

Hi June! Sorry for the delay in my response!! Just catching up on all the comments here! I'm so glad you have been enjoying the lessons so much!

[@davidshuler7124]

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I use a capo on my guitar and play the song to see what fret to have it on. When I sound good I keep it on that fret. So it works!!!! Thanks!!!!

[@worshipvocalist]

Awesome!

[@jadastricker569]

You are an incredible singer!!! Beautiful 🤩 great pro tips.

The "Pathfinders" exercise is amazing for growing your range! Love it!

[@worshipvocalist]

It really is!

[@rachelstabler7802]

This is so helpful. I just started singing with my worship team at church at the start of the year. There are songs that sometimes seem to low for my voice. Definitely will be using your tips next time I sing. ♥️

[@worshipvocalist]

Hey Rachel! I'm glad you found this video helpful! God bless!

[@learningismyjam9425]

The Pathfinder activities are a game changer! I’ve been using your channel for a short while now and already hear improvement. I’m so grateful for your teachings!

[@worshipvocalist]

Wow that’s awesome!!

[@bettybet6367]

I cannot choose the key, but my leader always chooses a good key, praise God. I always used to sing the song over and over again, too. But now I know a lot of good warm ups to do instead. I love the strategies to sound better, like wah, wah ,wah. And adding key consonant sounds to get a centered mixed voice and bringing my voice forward with a small mouth and open cavity. Thank you, Charmaine for your great lessons. I have improved my weak breathy voice into a power house voice I never knew I had. Grateful, and praising God.

[@worshipvocalist]

Wow, that’s fantastic! So glad to hear it!

[@tanzaniaonlineo-levelsecsc]

I thank God for this platform of Vocalists. I found the 1st strategy is the best for me. Be blessed...

[@worshipvocalist]

[@barbaraashby8392]

Everything is helpful. I've sang for 60 years and am finding it difficult in the contemporary side. Thank you.

[@worshipvocalist]

[@quaintlittlethingsonlinesh931]

1. Sing in the best key for you. 2. Warm up your voice before singing. 3. Use strategic exercises to practice your songs.

[@worshipvocalist]

Hopefully these strategies are going well for you!

[@AHeartForHomeEducation]

This is such helpful content. I’m new on a worship team and was too timid to ask for a key change on Who You Say I Am (so ironic you mentioned it!) and I neglected my warm ups that morning. First service didn’t go well!! Thanks for reminding me to speak up for myself for ultimately the benefit of the congregation’s worship. And that I need to be honing my craft and practicing and warming up, also as a service to the congregation and ultimately the Lord. BTW - you are looking awesome 👏🏼

Love this video! How do you suggest requesting a key change to the worship director and band who seem to not want to (or it’s too difficult for them to?) change the key?

[@worshipvocalist]

Hmmm, that’s a tricky one! Always in kindness and love - I would have a one on one chat with your leader and explain that you will lead more confidently when the key is better for your voice.

[@shelbelee]

I struggle stringing the song together after doing pathfinder exercises. Any tips for that? I get stuck on hitting the path perfectly instead of just getting thru the whole song

[@worshipvocalist]

I hear ya! That comes with time and diligent practice, so just be patient with your voice!

[@kaywoodparsons1874]

Did you ever watch Ken Tamplin teach?

[@worshipvocalist]

I know of Ken Tamplin but I haven't done any of his vocal training!

[@yudipitre5720]

How do I find out what is my key?

[@worshipvocalist]

Hey! I'm hoping to do a video on that in the future! In the meantime, I recommend trying out the original key and if it's too high or too low, lower or raise the key until you find somewhere that feels right for you. Ideally you want the chorus and bridge to sit in a higher range than the verses.

[@elijahbelay2716]

When singing in mixed voice where should you feel resonance?

[@worshipvocalist]

Right in the middle of the face is where we want to feel the buzz!

[@thriveteam2688]

How do I know my key?

[@worshipvocalist]

There’s lots that goes into it - I’m hoping to do a training on this in the future!

[@BerniceSWB]

How do we choose the appropriate key as someone who does not have the skill yet to determine this?

[@BerniceSWB]

And, how long should a warm up last?

[@worshipvocalist]

Hey Bernice! I would encourage you to go through my courses on www.theworshipvocalist.com to develop more vocal skill and help choosing keys-but in the meantime, start with the original key and determine whether you need the song higher or lower for your voice, then I would encourage you to work with a musician (keyboardist or guitarist ideally) to help you find the right key.

[@worshipvocalist]

And in terms of a warmup, I recommend 15-20 minutes at least.

[@ellarodriguez3773]

I do the strategy you taught n they work as a charm for me

[@worshipvocalist]

So glad to hear it!

[@aaronmclean8621]

It kind of sounds like you are using noise removal for the audio. I would actually prefer hearing the original audio with a little background noise. It just sounds kind of weird. Something's missing. Also, maybe a little bit of music in the background when you aren't singing. Just suggestions, but thank you for these videos!

[@worshipvocalist]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[@jenholland6866]

The thing I worry about with choosing a key that is comfortable for me, is that the congregation will be able to sing it too. I am an alto, but many females are sopranos.

[@worshipvocalist]

The congregation will sing along with a worship leader who is singing confidently! It’s impossible to find a key that works for everyone in the congregation-so best to lead in the key that’s best for you, and let them choose whether to sing up/down the octave, sing a harmony, etc.!

[@jenholland6866]

@@worshipvocalist Thank you! It's a good way of thinking about it, of course everyone will have different ranges and there's no one size fits all.

[@bkt6025]

Seems wrong that worship has become about " my key" .As a worship leader , to me it's about the CONGREGATION the AVERAGE range.

[@worshipvocalist]

Hey! I hear you. The reason I teach this is not to encourage pride, entitlement, glory, etc. The glory belongs to Jesus; none of it belongs to us as worship leaders. There is no range of notes that works well for every singer in the congregation, but in my experience, when a leader is singing in a comfortable place in their voice, they are able to lead and minister more confidently, and the congregation feels more at ease.

[@davidaddis2525]

Amazing you became thin.
