Vocal Training for Beginners: Sing Pop Music

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the song you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are some final tips to guide you on your journey: The Lyrics Firstly, read the lyrics of your song out loud, like a conversation. Try to make it real for you, as if the lyrics are your words. Trial Run Feedback can be uncomfortable but it is useful. Do a few test runs of your song and watch them back. Give yourself a score out of 100. Praise as well as critique yourself. In your opinion, what will add to your performance? Practicing Eye Contact Think about eye contact. Make sure you know where the lens of your camera is and sing directly to it, as you would a person. Try not to spend too much time looking at the walls, floor, or ceiling. Find a natural balance. Thinking about Movement How much movement looks natural? On camera, quite small movements can look too big. Are you over-expressing or under-expressing with your face? How much are you using your arms and hands?

Feedback When you are happy with a recording, find someone you trust and ask them to watch it. Ask them to give you some feedback. Sometimes people see things you might have missed. I can't wait to see what you've come up with. You can share your work with us so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final results and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there!”
