    What kind of singer are you?
    My clever husband said to me the other day, “Some people don’t want to be a master chef, some people just want to eat.”
    I love that man! His comment really got me thinking. Not every artist I’ve ever worked with has wanted to be a master virtuoso singer. Some just want to rock out; some want to be really effective storytellers; and some treat their singing like the Olympics.
    Not all singers are exactly the same! We all have a unique way of expressing ourselves when we sing! Today we will talk about performance styles, and how each of these styles is awesome, and incredibly effective. I like to break performance down into these four singer categories.:
    The Vocalist
    The Performer
    The Storyteller
    The Musician
    The Vocalist
    Singers who identify with this category, are incredibly athletic with their voices. They may put a lot of embellishment and stylistic gymnastics into their singing. To them, the essence of a great performance relies heavily on the sound itself. Think of artists like: Christina Aguilera, Celin Dion, Mariah, Whitney, and Josh Groban, just to name a few. They are more apt to plant their feet and deliver an incredibly moving vibrational experience for the audience. If you resonate with this category, then vocal training is absolutely essential to you. It’s the same as a professional athlete working out to stay in shape, and in peak performance at all times.
    The Performer
    Singers who identify with this category probably wear a lot of colors, sequins and rhinestones…even on their pajamas! They have incredibly outgoing personalities, and feel the music mostly with their bodies. These folks just have to move! They are known for “working the stage.” To a performer, the essence of great performing is taking charge of the energy of the room, and raising it big time! They literally embody the energy of the music and express it! Artists within this category are artists like, Beyonce, Britney, Katy Perry, and Jennifer Lopez. If you resonate with this category, then you might want to concentrate on staying in shape. Lots of exercise, and endurance vocal techniques to keep your body moving, and your sound supported without running out of breath.
    The Storyteller
    Singers who identify with this category in my opinion are the most transparent. They usually write their own material from first hand experience. And their performance style is more connected to the story itself. Every artistic decision comes from a place of honesty, and a desire to connect heart to heart. These singers don’t use a ton of vocal embellishment - not for show anyways. Their main concern is what best serves the story. They will usually focus on phrasing, inflection, personality, and point of view. Artists within this category are artists like: Jason Mraz, Zac Brown, Jewel, and Sam Smith. If you resonate with this category, you may want to dabble in songwriting, or if you enjoy singing other people’s music, you may play with musical elements such as arrangement to really make the song your own. Play with the words. How can you play with the subtext, to change the song up a bit.
    The Musicians
    Singers in this category are still singers, but their preference leans towards the music itself. These folks are incredibly dynamic as well, and share the stage equally with the performer, but instead of dance numbers, you’re gonna hear a lot of epic instrumental solos. They tend to capitalize on the mood of the music. Their music runs the full gamut of energetic levels. But to a musician, the music should grab you in your core, and not let go. Vocally, the musician wants to develop their voice to match the mood, or character of the music. They tend to focus on rhythms, and improvisation to tell an effective story. Artists within this category are: John Mayer, Ray LaMongtane, and Keith Urban. These artists probably experience their emotions in guitar riffs. They are likely to lay down the music first, and then allow the mood of the music to inspire the lyrics. If you resonate with this category, you may want to focus on vocal coloring. How can you keep your sound your own, but match the color, or mood of the music with your voice. How does the music make you feel? Where is the music grabbing your body? Sing from there.

      I love Christina but you have got to be kidding me if you think Christina is a real vocalist. She abuses the very fundamentals of singing that is taught in every beginner course. Instead, she convinced herself that she is a damn vocalist, so she can just skip to the advanced level, by doing all that over the top melisma and belting.

    @romicor9 5 лет назад +4

    Another storyteller/musician blend is Hozier (who became popular with his song 'Take me to Church'). He's a singer- songwriter who plays with airiness, vocal weight, raspiness, color, volume, etc. to emphasize the sentiment of the lyrics. Whether you like a particular song or not, it's hard to be indifferent to his voice.

  • @hannahdykeman8932
    @hannahdykeman8932 8 лет назад +46

    I sort of resonate with each one of them.. I guess I'm mostly performer/storyteller though. I really want to become more of a vocalist, but I don't really have anywhere I can train without disturbing someone (I have a big family). Luckily though, I'm starting voice lessons soon and hopefully that will give me somewhere I can really focus and work on bettering my voice.

      +Julz Arimah Thank you for your kind words! I love to write as well, and consider myself a storyteller first and foremost. The story is the reason I sing, and when I remember that...I never get nervous. I would love to read some of your work sometime. Keep creating my artistic friend!

  • @razrv3lc
    @razrv3lc 8 лет назад +71

    Storytellers would definitely be someone like Kate Bush or Bjork. I think Kate might be a performer/storyteller hybrid, though, because she's always used mime and dance heavily in her performances.
    A musician would be someone like Sarah McLachlan. She's always at her best when she's at the piano or holding a guitar, although I think she crosses over into the story teller area as well.

  • @chrisanthemum7
    @chrisanthemum7 8 лет назад +58

    My favorite singers are vocalists (Mariah Carey, Mariah Carey again) and storytellers (Patty Griffin, Bjork). I love singing but I find myself just emulating these artists and am unable to find my own motivations for singing other than showcasing my talent for copying other people.

    I'm a storyteller-musician; my primary musical talent is composition and arrangement. I'm getting back into singing because I feel like the human voice is the most beautiful and expressive musical instrument. I'd like to be able to bring my own compositions to life competently. There's also a joy to partnering with other people to make music, and I'd love to have more to offer as a collaborator.

    I am a rock star at heart, but I also have a bit of storyteller. I am a performer and vocalist most of the time. I love to perform like Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden, but when I feel in a country music mood my storyteller side comes out, Maddie. I never thought of these separately, so thanks.

    • @MadeleineHarveyVoice
      @MadeleineHarveyVoice  7 лет назад +4

      You got it Matt. My main objective with this little video was to illustrate that we all have our own ways of connecting to and expressing the energy of music. And that each of those ways are celebrated within the music culture. There are so many more ways to connect and express of course, but this video was made for those who may not know where to get started, or how to focus in on their particular strengths. I am such a closet rock star...LOVE singing Paramore every chance I get...but for the most part, I'm a storyteller and a performer. (It's hard to get me to sit still enough to be a true vocalist...I usually want to dance. ) Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to hear you sing!

But to watch this video was encouraging to figure out what kind of singer am I. I know for certain I am a story teller!! I love singing and I enjoy writing also! But I will not have thought the two would work along side each other. THANK YOU! THANK YOU.

    Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing! I am not a singer as such, but I play violin/fiddle and have heard people say things about my performances that really make me think that I'm a storyteller/musician type. Which is pretty funny because obviously there's no lyrics to instrumentals, but a lot of your description of storytellers really resonates with me and my experience with music. This is definitely making me reconsider trying to write original music. I have tried in the past but felt like I was just awful at it, however, now I feel like I owe it to myself to try again, maybe with a slightly different point of view. :)

      His voice is weird af though, whenever I first start listening to him after a long time of not listening, I dislike his voice so much, but then it fits really well with his songs and it's like it just becomes part of the instrumentation. So in that way he is a really good songwriter and arranger as well. He's douchebag, but a very talented douchebag.

    Grace Vanderwaal is the most mind-blowing YOUNG, au-natural storyteller I’ve ever seen. When you said “inflection” (after writers), I was just like, “GRACE.”
    And of COURSE, my musical *everythings*, Sia and P!nk (who is also a hellllova performer).
    Personally, I fully resonate with storyteller as well. I’ve been writing since I was old enough to hold a pencil and read and I’ve been singing since, well, always. But despite being in multiple choirs and plays as a kid and teen, I was always too keenly aware that my voice wasn’t great (or even “good,”) no matter how many hours a day I worked at it. I’d record myself singing my favorite songs back in the 2 tape deck boom box days and even when I thought I’d nailed it, it was never not cringe-worthy on the playback. Now as an adult, the urge to sing is always there and it makes my heart ache something fierce. Still working at it (in bits-n-pieces), but I live in a NYC apt and know better than to make my neighbor’s ears bleed. Seems awfully unfair to have so much passion for something but know better than to do it in public (drunken sing-alongs always the great exception😉)......I lost my guitar in a tragic way and wasn’t a fluent player yet. Haven’t had the money in the years since to replace it and then I lost my keyboard in a shitty way as well. That said, I was so inspired by little Grace and when a gorgeous Uke manifested while interacting with someone on a stuff selling app, I gave him my technically much more expensive item without hesitating.
    So yeah, I’m learning to play, thank you RUclips, and perhaps I can finally get back to being able to put some music to the words that I have far more confidence in. I know my stories are worth telling, I know they’ll resonate however they’re shared. But unlike college where I received constant praise for stories and scripts and poems, it’s obviously quite a different thing when you’re not much of a musician, have only one instrument, crap rhythm and utterly lack a voice or inflection like Grace’s, that hardly begs accompaniment.
    I didn’t make a New Year’s res. I also didn’t look for singing tutorials today. I was actually just singing some Sia and Concrete Blonde on a Karaoke account and wound up first with one incredibly helpful and interesting woman and then here with you. Subbed you both on the spot and will surely devour your videos. So perhaps that’s my resolution. Not to become a singer-songwriter who plays out, or even on YT, but to get my shit together on the Uke and start writing songs again. I’ve always had professional musicians in my adult life and have had the experience of my words going to great music. I’d LOVE to at least be able to do something like that. Write and record songs where my voice is at least passable enough for someone with stronger capabilities to perhaps use them/add moving instrumentals and make them really something. Kind of like the trash version of Carol King😆. Anyway, thank you for reading this far if you have and I would definitely be open to exploring your professional offerings once I manifest the finances.
    A Thousand Blessings✨🔮✨

    I am none of them. :/ I have no clue why I am definitely not a vocalist because my voice can only do an amount of certain things. Not a performer, I do not like fancy outfits and loads of color, also I hate performing, unless its behind a computer screen XD But the story teller, well apparently i'm good at song writing? But I don't know :p I have no clue why i wrote so much, aha. I cannot play any instrument anyway. Yikes. I suck.

    joni mitchell, buffy sainte marie, and Bob Dylan were story tellers. the first ones that came to mind. followed by people like Regina Spektor, and then what about the “creator” who is introverted like a storyteller but telling it through creativity like Bjork, Grimes and Kate Bush or Radiohead

    Wow, I’ve always needed to be in movement whenever I listen to music. Even at a young age I would be pacing back forth listening to my Disney cds and as I got older I got into running because I felt so much energy from the music.
    Getting into singing and trying to be a singer I noticed that all the people I look up to in the industry are great performers, owning the stage and I felt deep in my core that I’m an artist like that. Now watching this video, I know that’s what I am. It makes me feel more confidant in myself and let’s me know it’s okay to move instead of just standing stick straight in one place.

      Welcome to my musical family!! I'm so glad to hang out! For sure! No 1 way truly to do anything. I think the biggest component is awareness. Having the presence of self to know what you'd like your experience of music to be like. I loved making this video, because for me...It's about understanding how you experience the music and then specializing in that as a creator of music. Of course many artists are combinations of storytellers and vocalists and performers and musicians. But the relief here is, as long as the music is coming from your authenticity, you don't have to fit into a prepackaged mold. You can TOTALLY create your own.

    I enjoyed this video. It's almost as though I've been waiting for someone to put into words what I do and how I feel on stage. I am story teller and I deeply enjoy it - writing my own material and re-arranging covers. When you are new to the performance space you are sometimes led (by different people) to believe that there is only one kind of performer that audiences want to see. After a few performances of my own I found that it isn't true but it also left me with a question. The question was, who am I if I am not the lively, energetic and virtuosic performer that some audiences don't necessarily enjoy? I am the introverted, reflective performer and I have a story to tell. I also have an appreciation for other performer types. Thank you for this video Madeleine :)

    That's an interesting way to think of it. I've had lessons, mostly about the technical things (vocalist style). Lately I've been trying to break out of that and be more physically dynamic, but performer style feels a bit much to me. I realize that really what I want to do is be a more expressive storyteller. I don't have my own original music, but I think it would be fun to collaborate with people who do.

    I definitely want to be a vocalist! I just performed at a freshmen assembly today as a recruiting show for our club, which is about performing as a band. Had I watched this awesome video of yours earlier, I'd have decided not to adopt my club-mates' advise not to use a microphone stick and walk around. Because however comfortable and not awkward I was on that stage today, walking around and feeling the emotion through my body language actually affected my voice in terms of pitch and stability. But I guess being a performer isn't bad for me at all either. Maybe I could work on that besides my voice! Thanks a lot for your wonderful videos! If my English expressions are weird at all, feel free to correct me, for my mother tongue is Mandarin! Love from Taiwan

    I think id consider myself a storyteller and a musician. I play many instruments and have been in many concert bands. so i really feel the music resonate through me. But im also a very very emotional person. i want people to feel the emotions with me while im singing. i want the audience to not only hear the story but to empathize with it. I just gotta work on my singing skills. PRACTICE lol

  • @Composer_Ben
    @Composer_Ben 8 лет назад +3

    Hmm. I think I might be a Storyteller. My favorite singers- Eric Adams, Dio, Andrew Schwab, Hansi Kursch- do a lot of "painting" with their voices. They can bring such different characters to life so powerfully, and that's how I've wanted to write my songs and sing. :)

    • @MadeleineHarveyVoice
      @MadeleineHarveyVoice  8 лет назад +1

      +Critdizzle I'm totally a storyteller too! I just love playing with the emphasis and texture of the words to create the scene and the mood. It's what I love about the musicians that I can't get enough of too! I just love the way that the art form is focused through communication.

    I'm definitely a Storyteller above all else but I'm working on getting over my nerves to become a Performer since I'm a musical theatre nerd and acting is my passion. However, my ability to have such genuine emotions and to connect with a character is my strong point for sure.
