Vocal Technique
During a live audition for a musical, I was asked to perform a song with a high belt range I hadn't prepared for.
I needed to deliver the song confidently while protecting my voice and staying in key.
I used a quick warm‑up focusing on breath support, adjusted the vowel placement for the high notes, and employed a mixed‑voice technique to reduce strain.
The panel praised my control and range, and I advanced to the final round.

After recording a studio track, my producer noted my vibrato was inconsistent on the chorus.
I needed to refine my vibrato to match the song’s emotional tone without over‑processing.
I recorded multiple takes focusing on steady breath flow, consulted a vocal coach for targeted vibrato drills, and re‑recorded the chorus with the new technique.
The final mix received positive reviews, and the track was selected as a single.
