Classical vs Contemporary Style

I’ve met so many worship vocalists who want so badly to sing on their worship team, but they don’t make it past the audition… or they would love the opportunity to lead a song… but they are always put on backup vocals. Or, they’re just not sure why their voice doesn’t “fit” with the other singers on their worship team. Or, maybe you’re a worship pastor and you have vocalists on your team whose voices—although perhaps they sound lovely—don’t blend well with the other vocalists on stage.

Usually she sings in all head voice, which lacks power in her lower range—but through strategic mix voice exercises (and by grabbing ahold of the same resonance she already uses in her speaking voice!), her singing voice is transformed! So much more power and boldness!
