Forge your own way! Making your mark in music

What makes an artist successful, beyond of course their ability to sing on key or play the right note, is the manner in which they interpret a song. This is where the personal touch comes in, the part that allows singers to really "tell a story" and own it. And it isn't because a musician reinterprets a song, that prevents them from infusing their own interpretation.

Find your voice type

Mariah Carey wouldn't sing Janis Joplin any more than Axl Rose (Guns N' Roses) would sing Frank Sinatra, it just doesn't happen. Why? Because these artists understand their voice type. Knowing your voice type is essential! Understanding your vocal capabilities allows you to put your best foot forward and shine when your moment comes.

Finding your fit is easy. All of our songs can be searched by key and male/female vocals to make sure you find the perfect song for you! Have a look at this article to learn how. Don't know where your voice falls or how to even find out? Not to worry, we've made a quick guide for you.

Happy Singing!

From bass to soprano, find your voice type

For some, words like soprano, mezzo-soprano or contralto, are quite possibly the names of TV series, kinds of Italian pasta or a super fancy gymnastic move. For others, the musicians amongst us, you've certainly recognized the different vocal types by which singers are classified. Many believe that these terms are reserved solely for choirs and operas, but the reality is, these categories can be applied to any singer. So, where do you fall? Soprano, mezzo-soprano or other? Here's a guide to tell what songs best fits your voice.

Warming up: a must-do for musicians and singers

A professional athlete never hits the field without a series of warm-ups. It's not just so he can flex his muscles and show off but more so to prevent sprains, tears and other injuries. For musicians and singers, the same rings true. While the effort may not be as physically strenuous, the idea remains the same; overworked muscles, bad posture and all of those micro-traumas, can eventually lead to more serious problems for musicians including tendonitis, and in a singer’s case, aphonia.
