WOW, you mentioned everything that goes on on worship. As a background singer I thank you for this. Thank you for your great tips, advise and encouragement. When it comes to harmony I'm a bit insecure so I'm one that many times hold back and prefer to sing melody, but I do not hold back on my stage presence, I'm aware at all times that my role is to usher the people into His presence and if I'm not in His presence first then I cannot help the congregation to enter in. It's about God nothing more, nothing less.
This is educational, encouraging and inspiring during preparation for my first BGVs role in a long time. The biblical explanation at the beginning especially helpful. Thank you!
I appreciate this video. It's something I wish I had heard years ago. I've recently come to terms with the idea that I just don't fit in our worship team. My voice isn't pleasing to the leader, and that is very stressful. I am much happier worshipping in the congregation where I can give God all I have.
Love these videos! We shared this one with our whole team. Suggestion: Can you PLEASE do a video on microphone technique? This subject is so often ignored when we talk about excellent vocal delivery.
I have recently become the worship leader in my church, and i didnt have that much experience or many tips. Many times i saw myself not finding the right words to express what i wanted from the BV. This video has been a real blessing on my life, and i know it will be also in my church. Ill definitely use what i learn here to bless my fellow worshipers. Thank you so much! Be blessed!
Love this so much! Thank you!! I have no experience singing on a worship team but I’ve felt God leading me toward joining my church’s team. I feel so inadequate and inexperienced so I want to learn as much as I can and practice to not be a hindrance to the team or congregation. This video really helped me!!
Thank you so much for your words. I really needed to hear them. I was feeling really discouraged and your words really helped me to keep shifting my focus back to where it needs to be.
Really impressive. As one locally enaging in worship team I really learn from.down deep in my heart I really felt , encouraged, strength pick up from you video. More, know God bring worship in his presence, preparation, give a worship that honours his presence. Thanks for sharing what God blesses U with.❤️❤️🙏
Awesome. It's a balance between passionate worship and an intentionally structured congregational-centric "performance." You deliver these important tips with such sincerity.
Thank you so much! This is everything I’ve been saying but said so much better. This will be shared with my team and all prospective members. Just awesome...thank you.
You are amazing ❤️ thank you for loving Jesus and posting this training. I can’t wait to watch more videos and access your content. Thank thank thank you. I have a heart for worship and Jesus and this is exactly what I needed. “Those who worship Him, must worship in Spirit and truth.” ❤️❤️
I am so disappointed that I'm just discovering this channel! This is great information that's practical and biblical. I'll be using these for our WT. Thank you!
Such an impactful and informative video on so many levels. There are so many points discussed that I just haven’t ever really thought about before. Thank you for doing this!
Great work! I love how you demonstrate your points so practically, showing the impact of making certain vocal choices (eg 7’35 in this video). That approach is particularly helpful for *showing* novice BGVs the benefits of honing their craft! Thank you! Why didn’t I discover your videos sooner??!
This is FANTASTIC. Thank you for giving the examples of what you were talking about with the harmonies. That's what I've been missing.... the examples so ppl could hear the difference. The whole video is one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen on worship teams
So glad it's been so helpful for you! As worship directors at our church, my husband and I definitely saw a need for this kind of thing... I couldn't find anything else to point vocalists to, to illustrate a point! It's always such a blessing to hear when someone finds a video super helpful, so thanks for your encouraging note! :)
I can't appreciate you enough. Thank you so much for this!!🤗 I'm often afraid to come out of the box because I'm a true alto and I'm safest there. My mindset is changed now!!
@@worshipvocalist Wow, thank for you the reply,, i'm so happy,, hahaha.. I found this channel when I was practicing choir in the dorm, I didn't know how .. ,, this channel really helped me,, again: thank you so much
Thank you so much for this video. On my team, I am the only one of our backup singers who sings harmony; the others sing in unison with our leader. Are there techniques or tips for singing in unison and can you do a video about them? Thank you in advance.
Hi Lisa! I have a video about this in my “Harmony Essentials for Worship” course at www.worshipvocalist.com called “Achieving Vocal Blend” - the techniques apply both to unison and harmony singers!
Thank you so much and God bless you for sharing. What is the name of the song that says" Yours is the kingdom, yours is the glory, yours is the name above all names? it blessed my soul and I need to add this to my play lists.
Personally, I'm more comfortable singing background vocals because the background is more of my comfort zone. Singing lead makes me a nervous wreck lol.
Do you have a training for musicians that are playing and singing at the same time? We have no dedicated vocalists in our small church. Every singer is also playing an instrument, so we have a lot running through our minds at the same time.
Hello thank you for all the help you give us in every video I love it, one question what can we do if we are only two people in the worship team and sing with a track. What you recomend us?
Hey Claudia! Still you can use some of these same principles-I recommend that you plan out your harmonies and when each person will be leading and coming in, in each song, so that it creates a journey throughout each song and the worship set list.
Hey! Prayer (God cares!) + working on our voice (improving our voice builds confidence!) + experience (we don't lose the nerves until we do it a bunch of times!).
I tried to download a couple of your FREE work books. I never received them in my email. Then after the link said it was sent (even though it wasn't) your page changed and it says the book is $15 but I can get it for $2 .....I'm not sure this is just an error??
Hey Tinikia! So sorry to hear that! We want to get that sorted out right away! I do see on our end that we sent you the download for the Role of a Background Vocalist PDF, as well as the Free Lip Rolls Warmup... sometimes those get stuck in a junk folder, so maybe check there first. If you still don't have it, email us directly at sing@theworshipvocalist.com and we'll try it again! The $15/$2 page you saw wasn't about either of those free resources, it was a promo for our Essential Warmups audio download-you must have seen that advertised after downloading our free Lip Rolls Warmup!
Yes! I encourage worship vocalists to strengthen their voice and expand their range so that they can be versatile vocalists -- be able to sing multiple harmony parts, in different parts of your range!
@@stephanievanderhoff7433 if you don't already have a subscription to www.theworshipvocalist.com, that would be the first step. Subscribers have access to all my online courses and training videos, as well as the opportunity to request a private lesson.
I don't think there should be choirs or backup singers. Just a worship team where the best singers sing the most. This is from someone who used to be in choir and suffered much abuse in church. They found out I sang better than them and got jealous.

I’m sorry that you’ve experienced stress!
Awesome, this video has really helped us to understand our role as worshipers
God bless you 🎉
I'm so glad!
Love these videos! We shared this one with our whole team. Suggestion: Can you PLEASE do a video on microphone technique? This subject is so often ignored when we talk about excellent vocal delivery.
I'll put it on my list of potential future topics! You're right it's so important!
Yes!!! I can’t find a video anywhere on microphone technique!

"What a Beautiful Name" (Hillsong) - such a great worship song!
Thank you for this... There is alot I agree with but there is also alot I disagree with....
Personally, I'm more comfortable singing background vocals because the background is more of my comfort zone. Singing lead makes me a nervous wreck lol.
I hear ya! Singing lead can be challenging!
I'm back up singer for my church I want learn to sing
Awesome!

Water torture 😂
The content is good - but the presentation requires a lot more passion and expression.
I don't understen so much! Couse I I speak spanish!
Hopefully in the future we can have subtitles!
