How to SING COUNTRY in 2024 (4 easy tips!) 🤠

[@johnoberg9583]

Thank you for this short video! I’m in my 40’s and finally embracing that my voice is a baritone and learning a few country songs.

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Fantastic! Cheering you on! 🙌

[@nicolettemitchell3146]

Those vocals are amazing I’m impressed

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Thank you, friend! Glad you hung out with us for the video! 🙌

[@gregbaker3701]

I never thought I could actually sing other than in my truck but I posted a few 60 second songs on ultimate guitar and got over 16k views. Now I’m motivated to get better. Thanks for the tips!

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Incredible! Nice job and we are rooting for you! 🙌

[@Unnaturalmethod]

Instantly improved my singing wow thank you ❤

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

I’m thrilled! Helping people achieve their singing goals is genuinely one of my favorite things I have the opportunity to do! Thanks for watching! 🙌

Awesome job. Greetings from Spain

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Wow thank you! 🙏

You left out #5, which I call the Slim Pickins technique. You use a little touch of voice crack where you go to a higher frequency for a split second. I think Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks use it a little. And #6 Unecesary amounts of vibrato, which of course is how Toby Keith sings any time he holds a note longer than a split second.

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Yes! I use this all the time in several different genres!

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

Sing ONE Tim McGraw song and you’ll never not hear this technique.

[@jmrosario3023]

Singing for a competition and I’m on the country genre. I definitely do not sing country (more pop and Rnb) so I’m hoping I’ll pull it off! This is so helpful!

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

You are going to do awesome!!! Best of luck, friend! 🙌

Wow finally I get exactly what I need for vocals lessons within the first video I watch. Mom I'm a baritone!

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Awesome! I’m a baritone as well, but ranges can greatly be extended if you are consistent with your daily vocal routine! Best of luck 🙌

We would be honored, my friend! We have several clients over zoom that meet weekly! 🙌 Check out our website and shoot us a text/email! (we are changing our prices in the near future once our course goes live for sale, but before that, you can still take a lesson for our current lower rate!)

[@sleepingalongtherazorsedge9361]

Its crazy how much tongue placement makes a difference. Pack your tongue into the front of your jaw and youll get a Waylon sound, bring it back into your throat and lay it flat and youll get a George Jones sound. I learned by mimicking the voices of legends and practiced for years and im at a point i dont think i sound half bad.

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Yes! Tongue placement, jaw height, and laryngeal control all have a huge impact on the resonance you have! Thanks for watching! 🙌

[@bergZig]

yeeehaaah!! 🤠, thanks buddy!

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Thanks for watching, man! 🙌

[@Desertphile]

Thank you (and I subscribed). I "do" John Denver, Glen Campbell, Eddy Arnold, and other "classics." As for "sounding Country," that is my C.B. radio voice. 🙂

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

I love this! Thanks so much for hanging out with us and watching! Also, those artists are amazing! 🙌

[@Desertphile]

@@tayloracademyofmusic8873 ; Yeee haw! :-) I went off-label and sang Neil Diamond's SOLITARY MAN, and I suppose in a few days I will upload that video. I am working on Lionel Richie's HELLO--- but there is no darn way I can be even 5% as sexy.

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Hello by Lionel Richie is such a great song! 🎉

[@Desertphile]

@@tayloracademyofmusic8873 ; Lionel Richie also wrote some amazing songs, such as LADY, which Kenny Rodgers made famous. I sing that well also. :-)

[@bd______og]

I like to mimic the Keith Whitley / Randy Travis / Willie Nelson thing. I'm not sure what to call it or how to explain it. It's an old school country buzz, but not in a deep voice.

[@AyoVon24]

I love the original song. I remember it from years ago and wish I had the lyrics 😊

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Thanks! 🙌

[@JohnJano]

Ok! This is am amazing video and has opened my eyes to the fact, that there is a craft to everything. I can sing Rock and metal with my eyes closed, but county??? Yeah, that is a whole nother story!!! Thanks for these tips. I am going to learn this!!! Do you have a course you can buy? :)

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Making one right now, actually! We have finished writing the course, and are in the middle of recording it! 🙌

[@improvementTime10.3.17]

4:05 scoop, use voice buzz/ fry

[@SweetArt360]

Is that song out? It's amazing and you sing it wonderfully! Thanks for the tips by the way. I'm not sure if singing country is right for my vocal range. Though I think these tips can help me improve for when I just sing for fun. 😊

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

The song isn’t out yet, but we are considering making a full release version sometime in the future! And thanks for watching and I’m thrilled you can use the tips to help you sing! You rock! 🙌

[@SweetArt360]

@@tayloracademyofmusic8873 Alright, I hope to hear it when it's. 😊 Thanks for creating such valuable content! 🌻

[@stevend_86]

Looks like i need more buzz 😁

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Heck, I’m still trying to get more buzz in my voice! The more buzz I use, the lower, my overall volume output can be! Instead of focusing on the quantity of Voice, I can focus on the quality!

@@tayloracademyofmusic8873 I practiced using your method last night and I got a lot closer than I ever had on my own. This was genuinely really helpful.

[@Nhungnguyen-br8qi]

What is the name of the first song pls! 🙏🙏🙏

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

It’s a song called, “what if “! It was written by my wife and she allowed me to “turn it country” just for this video!

[@samakdarang4152]

What is the name of the song that you sang?

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

“What If” by my wife, Victoria Taylor! She wrote it and I turned it country just for this video!

[@samakdarang4152]

I really love the song. Can you please sing the whole song?

[@KodaBear2]

Okay, but how do you know what note you want to sing to or are supposed to sing to? When I'm making my own and I would go high in pitch how do I know what I'm supposed to hit. I don't understand that

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Fair question! Learning how to tell the distance between notes (interval training) is a great way of teaching your ear and throat how to work together to sing the right note. Check out our video on this that shows you how to get started on learning how to hit the right pitches! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipSmaHWVjaibnJY

[@charlieparra3103]

I'm trying to do the impossible! I wrote a country song, and I'm trying to sing it in Spanish 😂 A weird combo right there

I love this! You are going to do great! 💪

[@Midnight-Ranger]

i really like your test song , how can i find the full song on either youtube or itunes?

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

We haven’t really thought about trying to sell it and release it as a full song, but maybe we should! Thank you so much for the feedback! 🙌

[@Craneoflight]

What in the 20 octaves lower😮

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Ha! Thanks for watching! 🙌

[@eved]

Oh so voice buzz is vocal fry! And you can use vocal fry throughout your range? This is new! I can only use it before my first break (around a G4)! Thanks for this

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Yes! Using voice buzz, specifically through your break, helps your vocal folds stay closed and connected so that you don’t accidentally break/flip when you don’t mean to! My suggestion would be to use a very low amount of volume, then slowly build up your stability of using voice buzz in the E4-B4 range. If done properly, you should be able to very lightly speak in that range using your relaxed chest voice without pushing or pulling. Best of luck and thanks for watching! 🙌

[@KyOte13]

What about twang?

[@tayloracademyofmusic8873]

Yes! To help stretch and strengthen to be able to go higher with buzz, reduce volume (while maintaining breathless sounding buzz) until you get a more relaxed crackle! This should allow you to keep buzz past your break. Repeat this stretch daily adding a tiny bit of pressure until you can maintain buzz around that G4 without your voice breaking or flipping to head voice!
