Sing in Legato

If you’re Lana Del Rey’s fan, you must have noticed in her songs that she always changes between notes very smoothly.

Even when she goes from one word to another, it sounds very gentle and beautiful. 

This smooth changing between notes and words is called legato singing.

To sing in legato, make sure that your jaw is relaxed.

Your breath should be steady and continued. Otherwise, it won’t sound smooth and flowy.

In other words, legato is like going with the flow. Everything should sound smooth like you are barely trying. 

Even though it is not easy to master this technique, some practice can lead you there.

Practice Breathy Voice

When Lana Del Rey sings, you can hear breathy voices in her songs. It is not always the case, but you can hear it a lot.

Now, singing in a breathy voice is not considered good.

In fact, it is considered to be a flaw while singing.

But if you can sing well in a breathy voice, it can become your recognition like Lana Del Rey.

To practice singing in a breathy voice, you must practice talking softly in a breathy voice.

When you will talk this way, you will automatically sing in a breathy voice.

It will also sound very natural and professional. 

Sing Without Break

Sometimes Lana Del Rey sings a whole sentence without taking a break in between due to which her songs sound so smooth.

It is only possible if you hold your breath while singing.

The more you hold your breath, the less break you will take.

It is almost the opposite as singing in a breathy voice.

You have to ignore your breathy sound while singing in this part.  

Moreover, she sings such parts like butter gliding on a toast.

To achieve this technique, you should practice talking fast but in a clear voice.

After that, incorporate the same thing in your singing.

Make sure, your words can be heard clearly and you don’t mumble.
