most difficult steve perry songs to cover

Videohere, your friend sings well and I don't think he's 'muscling'. I don't see those two styles coexisting in the same song.they are mutually exclusive methodologies.would you agree? i just assumed the first way was the way everyone wants to get away from singing.that the goal should be to move away from effort singing and more towards perry's side of things.man, you learn something every day i guess. I'm capable, (and maybe that's my problem) of singing that song either way.albeit with more effort to sing the first way. this is the exact topic i would love to understand more about. this is without a doubt the most confusing issue with regards to vocal technique and study for me personally. Steve, first thanks so much for your reply. Its not a question that can be answered without discussing the value system in which one is evaluating the choices.

I speak from personal experience, here.Īs to which is preferable, are we discussing this from the audience's point-of-view, as it relates to effectiveness of performance of the this one song? Or, are we putting this in the context of the range of expressiveness that the singer may wish to bring, as it influences the artistry brought to the stage in consistent performances?īoth of those answers are part of the aesthetic context of any consideration of 'preferable'. Jaw rigidity and 'tongue-lock' very often happen as well. Personally, I think Perry's technique used in the posted vid is of the sort that is sustainable and effective through a song, a set, a concert, a tour and a career.Īlmost all young voices have the 'cord closing strength' required to sing the other way, (and the high exhalation force that goes with it) but very few can manage to limit the tension effects as this singer has done. You don't hear effort, and neither do you see it. This stuff confuses the hell out of me.so is perry's phonation just another means to an end? can we say one is preferable to another?īob: Comparing the two recordings, the Perry one is more lightly sung, with good balance of breath energy and laryngeal muscle action. In comparison to perry's methodology/technique? Thanks steve.so you'd say this was an acceptable methodology of singing this song but it requires strong cord closing strength to succeed?
