Here is where the singer moves from repeating what they’ve heard and unconsciously learned, to vocal artistry, where they imagine and then sing something new.
You hear a whole, complete sound, that is the result of interactions between their dialect, technique, genes, the music they’ve heard, music they create, singers they’ve imitated, genre or mix of genres, until all this musical alchemy creates each vocal color used to express a single vowel, a lyric, a story, or feeling. A lot of singers fear technique, because they fear that technique will take away what makes their voice stand out. What techinique really does (if you’re doing it right), is help you clean the window to your imagination and your heart to better show all the artistry and feeling you can really bring to your song, unencumbered by obstacles.
