Singing along with a recording to double your voice and harmonize. I know a few singers who do do that.

woaaaah this sounds really fantastic Lauren! it makes me feel like an actual voyager ⚓🥰

[@tantibusdraws6165]

Why Im a fan of the sea shanty genre. Unlike modern music which tends to focus on money, romance or vanity, sea shanties are the songs of working class people, working dangerous, crummy jobs to get ahead in life or just to survive. People willing to risk their lives for adventure and a better future. The genre is typically characterized by its hard boiled, old timey, working man nature. Buts its also really nice to hear a woman sing these songs

[@Farreach]

I feel she is secretly a siren ..the only way to have this unnaturally beautiful voice is to be a mystical creature

[@Matt_Hatt3r]

You know you've mastered stairwell singing when your echo harmonizes without anyone singing along with you ;) lol great job, Lauren!

[@leonie7356]

I wish I had a magic self harmonizing stairwell lol

[@jesschristiansen2523]

Me too! I've been singing in stairwells and tunnels and abandoned military bunkers for more than half a century, and never yet found one that sings harmony in a higher register on the choruses.
