performance.
Are You a Copycat Singer?
Don't try to copy the style of
everyone else. Allow your voice to flow naturally and choose
songs that feel natural to you. Here are some singing styles
to compare.
Learning about Classical Singing
Styles
Classical singing styles include
opera, lieder (small recital type singing with a piano and
singer), and oratorio (orchestra style concert).
Classical music is enjoyed by a broad
audience, both young and old. It's a soothing type of music
that inspires the mind and warms the heart.
If you feel that classical singing is
your style, you will need to be prepared for many years of
training before actually performing. You should train your
voice and tweak your vocal expressions of the English
language as well as other languages (for opera). You'll also
need excellent music reading skills to master this type of
singing.

Gospel Singing
Gospel music and singing is a unique
category that includes a variety of styles blended into one
category. For instance, you might sing primarily hymns,
which are typically classical by nature. Or, you might sing
blue-grass type gospel music. There's also folk-type gospel.
Gospel can also be sung with a number of instruments, from
the guitar to the piano to the violin.
Pop and Rock Singing
Pop and rock music is usually
categorized as fast and energetic with a singer and band.
For this style of singing, it's recommended that you have a
voice trainer that knows the industry and can help you
develop your unique singing voice. You should be prepared to
make a lot of contacts and perform in front of a variety of
audiences before becoming a professional singer.
Country and Western Singing
Styles
If you have a strong southern draw
that's noticeable in your singing, you might consider
country/western music. This style is just what it sounds
like - country. It entails a wide variety of songs, from
slow to fast, from brawling to soothing. Country singers are
often known for their "whining" voices. Is this your
style?
Jazz, Blues, or R & B Type
Singing
Jazz encompasses a wide variety of
songs and keys. Often, jazz singers just "wing it and sing
it" while singing. They pick their own keys and songs and
add their own special "touch" to the music or singing. It's
typically laid-back playing and singing that relaxes the
listener.
In the professional realm of music,
however, you may need to seek voice training. Blues and R
& B music is similar to jazz, but has a hint of folk
music and often tells a personal story.
More Types of
Singing
Other styles include cabaret and
theater, which often go along with other shows and
performances. Choose your singing
