Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud - How To Sing Covers - Roger Burnley Voice Studio

hey there Roger Burnley here so in this video I'm going to cover several different things but mainly what I'm talking about are singing cover songs most of you when you're starting to learn how to sing or you're practicing you're finding cover songs to sing now many times those songs because you did not write them but you do love them and you want to learn and you want to practice your voice sometimes they may not be in the right range for your particular voice sometimes I like doing songs like that because they will stretch you and get you to start to find a little more control of your voice but we're just going to play around with this today we're going to work on this Edie Sheeran song called thinking out loud and I'm going to give you some tips about how you might try to develop getting this and also applying this to any other cover song that you want to start to learn now the first thing I want to tell you the typical thing that happens is that when we're trying to learn something we get our bodies very involved and we're pushing in pushing up to try to get the notes and just trying to hit everything that we can and so then we end up developing some really not-so-great habit so we're going to talk about that so we have Casey here today we're going to work on this you've not have you haven't done this one before have you no okay but you're kind of familiar we kind of know yeah I know Elsa so let's just start doing it I'm just going to play it it starts right pretty much in the beginning of this track so all I want you to do is just start singing it and we'll see we come up with okay okay when your legs don't work like they used to before and I can't sweep you off of your feet okay now that was good now just back off okay and I say that you guys will find this too you will do this when you're starting you're gonna like really want to go for it Casey already has this really powerful voice so is tendency is going to be to do that anyway and I want to start to develop more control when you legs though okay so you start that easily okay when your legs don't work like they used to before and I can't sweep you off of your feet where your mouth still remember the taste of my love will your eyes still smile from your cheeks and darling I well be that was and you can see it it's facing with all good here it goes now let me tell you this this will always happen and it's especially it will especially happen when you're first learning something darling ah will it's so important and many of you who have watched my other videos you know always talking about this release now you're being able to see it actually in action darling ah will so this way when I'm letting go and I'm thinking to prevent me from going up for that know where I'm going to fall back on my throat my larynx going to be pushed out of place I'm going to end up pushing and my sounds going to be completely cut off so I want you to try that again and let's just do it from the beginning uh well let me take you back get into it I'd sweep off of your feet will your mouth still remember the taste of my love will ya I still smile from your cheeks and darling I will be loving you til were 70 great that was good did you feel that I got the 70 a little better yeah but you felt but but even after that you still kept doing it you still kept releasing yeah because when you do this is the thing I want you guys to get once you start to develop certain habits you in you won't even know this necessarily but your body is going to say oh whoa that felt really great so let's just keep doing that and that's what starts to happen this is how over time you end up developing these really great vocal habits let's go back again I want you to do that because you were you actually um go bit here let's do it from here and that's darling will be nothing you that's you let me get you back a little fur and darling I will be loving you til were 70 and live in my Oh could still fall as hard is 23 great now what's good now no no no that was good that was a listen now the other thing that happens is when you get into these higher ranges your vowel sounds become so important they have to start to get what I call narrow or thinner to prevent you from again falling back in your throat and starting to to force it at B I'm the baby I'm adding what I'm thinking a little more II baby yeah baby I'm just really exaggerating a little bit there just so you start to get used to it and and then on 70 yeah let me go back here Dahlia will he loving you til were 70 right in baby night Oh still fall is hard is 23 could you feel yeah how you start and then you started to feel where you were deliberately going at that fly that baby the continent the my exact about yeah so let's do it now the other thing I do and you guys you know I do this all the time I Drive my clients crazy actually because I will have them repeat certain things and the reason that I do that and I want you to do this to when you're practicing is that you'll find that really great place and then the more you go over it just keeps getting better and better so we hope that happens here so with do today just from here and Dahlia will be loving you til were 70 baby my heart could still fall as hard is 23 and optic and by how people fall in love in mysterious ways maybe it's a touch of a hand great that was good now there was no this is good not on what you see this people fall in love in mysterious out feeling people fall in love and mysterious people fall in love in mysterious ways right maybe just a touch other hand when we are fall in love with you every single day and I just wanna tell you I am so honey now take me into your loving arms goes good that was good yeah like oh good yeah hey hey okay okay just do that that was good though they always are in a really good place when I go back just a little bit in love which is every single day and I just wanna tell you I am so honey now take me into your loving arms so much better you felt that what now and he did this and you guys you know but I've talked about about this quite a bit when that those higher notes do you you've got to trick yourself so instead of thinking here it comes I'm going to push up think you're letting go and going down into that higher note and you'll see that you'll have a lot more control I just want to do that little bit again so you guys get the concept but this is how you're going to go through and practice your songs and just get every single part of it and typically what will happen again is that you when you're learning this you're going to find that as you keep going on through the song it keeps falling back in your throat you'll get to the place where you'll be able to maintain it through the entire song so don't worry about that if you're feeling that in the very beginning but let's just go back here touch up my hand me fall in love with you every single day and I just wanna tell you I am now take me into your loving arms hahaha that was good you felt it though you felt where you wanted to go that was that repo I caught it just in time like tick and you're going clean yeah so take me into your loving arms right that was better you got more of it kiss me under the light of a thousand stars oh baby a channel my beating heart Gregor please don't say Leia please do the place that dude please please please please I mean well that was exactly it that was yeah and so what you heard he did there he didn't open and go back in this throat's closed and starting that note up here and then over time again you just continually get used to it and you'll see you'll be in a really great place I want to say something else about this real quickly Edie has such great control of his voice and you will listen to him do it and you hear him really go into em pushing those higher places but he knows how to do that and to also come out of it you do not want to do that when you're first starting to learn this or trying to develop mastering this song so play around with these little tips and I know that it will start to help you
