Singing With AI vs Reality

AI is changing the world, and the music industry is no exception. In this episode, we’re diving into the thought-provoking conversation around singing and AI. Can technology ever replace the raw emotion and connection of a live performance? Let’s explore this fascinating topic together.

The Inspiration Behind This Episode

A few weeks ago, I traveled to London with my mom to experience something truly unique: ABBA Voyage. This isn’t your typical concert—it’s a spectacle where ABBA’s digital avatars, made entirely of light, take center stage instead of the actual artists. As someone who deeply values the human connection in music, I was skeptical. Why would I pay for a concert where the artists aren’t physically present? And yet, the venue was packed. This got me thinking: What draws us to music, and how important is the presence of real human performers?

The Struggle to Connect

One of the most striking moments during the show was how difficult it was for the audience to engage. Normally, an artist's energy naturally inspires the crowd to clap, dance, and sing along. But here, something was missing. The show organizers even had staff holding up signs encouraging the audience to participate—something that would typically happen organically at a live concert. This highlighted a major difference: AI and digital personas, no matter how realistic, struggle to create the same emotional pull as a live performer.

The Power of a Live Human Voice

A turning point in the concert was when the live band, including real backing vocalists, performed a song. Suddenly, the energy in the room shifted. People stood up, danced, and sang along—without needing any encouragement. These were musicians we didn’t even know, yet their presence and real human voices created the spark we had been waiting for. This moment was a clear reminder that music is more than just sound—it’s about connection, emotion, and authenticity.

What Makes a Song Truly Human?

This leads us to an important question: What makes a song feel human? As singers, we often focus so much on technique that we forget about the deeper emotional connection. Perfectionism doesn’t create connection—authenticity does. Whether you’re singing in a choir, performing on stage, or just singing karaoke with friends, how much of yourself are you truly bringing into the performance? Are you allowing yourself to connect with your audience, or are you getting lost in technical perfection?

How to Strengthen Your Connection with Your Audience

If you want to bring more authenticity to your singing, there are techniques that can help. Vocal variation, storytelling, emotional expression, and even improvisation all play a role in making your performance feel more real. These elements remind us why we sing in the first place—not just to hit the right notes but to move people, to tell a story, and to share something deeply personal with the world.

Balancing Technique and Emotion

Technique is essential, but where is your focus? Are you prioritizing connection as much as technique? One of the most powerful techniques to master is mix voice. It allows you to hit high notes, low notes, and everything in between with strength and ease—without tension or hoarseness. If you’re ready to take your singing to the next level and truly connect with your audience, mastering mix voice is a must.
