To: Lead Vocalist, you’ve a rich voice. A tiny piece of Advice: Slowww…the Lyrics down. Slow the tempo of your guitarist. This song 🎶 is best sung / and heard by the listener, with ‘Soul.’ Before there is any misunderstanding of my previous sentence, ‘Soul’ does not imply any racial characteristic. You either Sing a given piece with Soul, or you don’t. All songs have “runs” in them, including this one ( I’m sure you know what that means, if not look it up). When you speed up a song like “River”, a spiritual song, with a fast tempo, you strip away it’s meaning ( it’s Soul ). There is a modern tendency in the TV talent show industry, such as AGT, EGT, American Idol, etc., for the last 10 yrs to allow children (or teens) to sing songs that although they may have a competent voice to sing, those songs are delivered bland to the listener. Why? Because, sound - carry’s two things in its vibrational signature, emotion, and experience. Example: Most, not all, but most 8-13 year olds cannot sing a ballad about relationships gone wrong or love affairs, that they have no experience with. It’s not credible. Believe it or not, the human ear / mind / picks up on that. When it comes to a Spiritual Song that speaks of age / Life / Death, and an after life, most ( again-not all ), but most young children and teens that sing these lyrics, sound hollow. Well intentioned as it may be, the human eardrum…registers can register an untruth. Meaning: a lack of certain life experiences that informs the best Vocalist’s. That is why all those who’ve judged singing competitions say things like, ‘open yourself up’, ‘you have to show your vulnerability’. Or, in the case of Simon Cowell, “this is the wrong song for you, have you brought another song with you?” Which is another way of saying, sing your Life experiences, both good and tender, ugly and horrible. That, young vocalist - is but one of several definitions of singing with SOUL. Last suggestion, if you want to make singing your life’s passion seek out a Vocal Coach.
