Description:
Welcome to your daily R&B practice routine. In part one, we’ll work on vibrato with a smooth, rich tone. In part two, we’ll learn some pentatonic riffs and you’ll get the chance to improvise your own riffs! And in part three, we’ll work on belting over a wide range.
Once you’ve completed the series, you’re welcome to use any part of it for your daily practice, depending on your goals and time limitations. The only rule is: always start with a general warmup, since parts 1-3 have distinct focuses and will be much easier for your voice after a warmup.
