Hey friend, have you ever wondered “why does my version of this musical theatre song sound so plain in comparison to the cast recording?” Or maybe you wondered, “how can I differentiate my performance from so-and-so’s famous Broadway version?”
Well, I’ve got you covered, boo!
In this episode I walk you through a process I call “shaping a melody,” a skill that all singers MUST have.
Shaping a melody is about making choices about how to interpret your song beyond the instructions given on the page. All those little black notes are just the beginning! Shaping a melody is also the key to creating your own unique version of a song while staying aligned with the appropriate style and genre of the song.
Friend, press play now to learn the 3 specific ways you can shape your melody and transform your song from ho-hum to heavenly.
Xo,
Korrie
