I believe we can learn a ton from other singer’s voices, without comparing ourselves or having unrealistic expectations.
It’s important to understand: We cannot BE someone else.
If we are all unique in our vocal capability and sound, we don’t want to TRY to be anyone else.
But as a coach myself, I do believe we learn by feeling. We can learn from another singer by imitating a sound and seeing how it resonates in our own instrument.
We can learn to challenge limiting beliefs or bad habits, and we can learn to try new things.
Like when I was a kid, singing along with Whitney’s Bodyguard soundtrack, learning to open up and sing with conviction and strength.
Then, I had to go train, and learn how to MANAGE that power in my OWN voice.
So question: Who is one of your favorite singers, and WHY? What have YOU learned from them?
