Become a Better Ensemble Singer

An equally important step is to become a better ensemble singer. This brings in a whole new list of skills on top of individuall singing skills.

• Become a better listener!
• Use unified instruments.
• Match vowel sounds.
• Synchronize attacks and releases - in other words, start and stop at the same time.
• Synchronize word sounds.

Two key tools to becoming a better ensemble:

• Singing in unison, paying attention to the points listed above.
• Duetting between sections, paying attention to the points listed above.

Use them often! It will help you enormously by getting in synch with the other singers/section. Recording the duets will also help you become more aware of being in/out of synch.
