Sing With More Power Using "Twang"

Uncovering the secrets of the "twang" vocal technique and how it can revolutionize your singing abilities!

Understanding Twang:

Twang is a powerful vocal technique that adds depth, clarity, and resonance to your voice. But here's the kicker – it's not always pretty at first. Twang, in its pure form, may sound a bit harsh or exaggerated, but that's perfectly okay. Embracing the rawness of twang is essential to mastering this technique.

Common Mistakes:

Many beginner singers shy away from twang because they fear sounding "unpleasant." But here's the truth – embracing the discomfort is the first step toward growth. You'll discover new vocal depths and strengths you never knew existed by exaggerating the twang and pushing past your comfort zone.

The Benefits of Twang:

So, why should you bother mastering twang? Well, for starters, it helps reduce breathiness in your voice, allowing for more excellent stability and control. Additionally, twang adds power and resonance to your singing, making those high notes soar effortlessly. It also smoothens transitions between vocal registers, ensuring a seamless and polished performance.

Putting Twang into Practice:

So, how do we tap into the magic of twang? It's simple: embrace the "witchy" sound! Yes, you heard me right. Let's make some "ugly" noises to immerse ourselves in the twang. Remember fully: if it doesn't hurt, you're doing it right!

Ready to give Twang a try? Start by embracing the ugliness – yes, you heard that right! Practice exercises like "Ney Ney Ney" with 100% twang to fully immerse yourself in the technique. Then, gradually dial it back to find the perfect balance that works for you.

Applying Twang to Songs:

Once you've mastered the basics, it's time to put twang into action. Choose a song that resonates with you and contains elements of twang, like Amy Winehouse's "Valerie." Sing with a full twang, then experiment with different intensity levels to find your unique voice.

"Won't you come on over? Stop making a fool out of me; why don't you come on over, Valerie."

Did you feel that energy? Here comes the fun part: dialing down the twang to find that sweet spot. It's all about finding the balance, so let's aim for around 65% twang this time.

"Why don't you come on over, stop being a fool out of me; why don't you come on over, Valerie."

But remember, practice makes perfect, so keep experimenting with different levels of twang to add depth and richness to your singing.
