Description:
In part 1 of this tutorial, we’ll cover basic pop pronunciation and smooth tone.
In part 2 we will dive deep into both gentle mixed voice singing and some belting.
Lastly, in part 3 we will practice Pop and RnB runs that are commonly used by The Weeknd as well as his more flutter style vibrato that occasionally shows up.
But before you head over to part 1, are you listening to a lot of The Weeknd? If you want to sing in his style well, then you definitely should! Listen, sing along, and learn to capture his style using some imitation while I point out specifics and how to practice them throughout the lesson.
