Description:
Thank you for joining me in this series! I trust that you gained some new tools to refine your intonation in the next song you work on. If you struggle with intonation in general and can’t narrow down the issue to resolve it with the tools from this series, I recommend you review other lessons on the site with intonation as the focus.
Specifically for song work, try to choose songs that feel easy, that don’t cover a wide range, and that are naturally a comfortable fit for your voice without having to transpose or change keys. Look up sheet music for any song you’re working on so you can have a visual representation of the melody going up and down. And consider singing along with the original track for a long time before you transition to the karaoke or instrumental track.
Thank you again, and happy singing!
