  3. MICHAEL YELVERTON SHARES HIS TIPS FOR SINGING GOSPEL MUSIC… I have always been fascinated with gospel music!IspentseveralyearsstudyingAretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and other famous gospel singers, just so I could get that soulful feel and get thosecoolbluesylicksintomyownsinging style. Here are some tips to help you get startedwithyourowngospeljourney.

  4. 1. BREATHINGEXERCISES In order to be able to hold your gospel notes and vocal lines without gasping for air by the end of the line, it is a good idea to practice breathing exercises to give yourself more control. Singing is, after all, just vibrating breath! One great exercise is called the “one minute breath.” The full exercise — which I don’t recommend starting with! — is to inhale for 20 seconds, hold your breath for 20 seconds, and then exhale for 20 seconds.

  5. You’ll want to warm up your voice before working on your gospel song. A nice easy exercise is to sing “mah- mah-mah-mah-mah” on a major triad — for women, perhaps start on the G major triad below middle C, and for men, you can start on the C major triad an octave below middle C. Then you can warm up on some of the other pure vowel sounds, including “meh- meh-meh-meh-meh,” “mee-mee-mee-mee-mee,” “moh-moh-moh-moh-moh,” and “moo-moo-moo-moo- moo.” Work your way down to your lowest note in half-steps and then back up to your highest note in half-steps. 2. VOCALWARM-UPS

  6. Next, try singing along with several gospel singers whom you admire. If you can hit all the notes that they are hitting, that is a great song to start with. If you find a singer whose voice is similar to yours, then you can learn a bunch of her or his songs and build your gospel repertoire. 3. CHOOSE YOURSONG

  7. 4. ISOLATE ALICK Almost every gospel singer out there has some vocal tricks up her sleeve! Take the song “Amazing Grace”, for example — the first “A” might have six or eight or more notes associated with it. Mahalia Jackson, on one version of the song, sings the G and A below middle C for six notes before hitting middle C on “-maz.” That is seven notes and we haven’t even finished one word! It is a good idea to break down the entire vocal line and practice it slowly at first, until you can gradually sing it note for note with Mahalia or whomever you enjoy singing with.

  8. 5. REPEAT, REPEAT,REPEAT!
