Improve VOCAL PHRASING (Lesson 1): How to Match/Copy the Original Singer's Phrasing

This video is a response to a viewer's multi-part question about how to learn and improve our vocal phrasing and how to match our vocal phrasing to that of the original singer. In it, I give some common reasons why our vocal phrasing might be 'off' and offer a few tips for improving the accuracy of our phrasing.

Really interesting Karyn. Read your complex texts on your webpage too on formants and physiology. Really thanks. Trying to get my head round how our Eastern commercial singers of the 70s-80s got their sound and phrasing in film songs where there is just singing and drumming with bits of violining bridges now and again. So hard to deeply think and understand these nuances of singing and vocal projection. This was super helpful and logical. Thanks ; ) K

A lesson on the duration of musical notes would surely be interesting. Thanks

Great! Thanks for voting. :)

I thought each syllable is counted as a note?

[@singwisevocals]

Not necessarily. In speech, this is certainly the case: Each syllable represents one 'beat.' However, in singing, we may have a syllable extended over two or more notes.
