Hi. I'm a self-taught vocalist and am most comfortable singing in the style of prog and metal genres (think Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Dream Theater, Avenged Sevenfold, etc.). This type of style encompasses mostly a few types of vocal techniques like grunge, screams and a strong head voice. I also have done some acapella covers with friends. However, I've really struggled trying to achieve the vocal textures in choral music, i.e. the massive resonant 'oohs' and 'aahs', and have a very weak vibrato. I would really like your help with the following:
How do you get into choral music? Which composers should I listen to in order to get a good introduction to this?
Are there any resources online to self-learn? And how did you begin your own learning process?
Any other tips you have for an absolute novice to this style of music?
P.S: I absolutely loved the videos you've done already. Keep up the awesome work and thanks for doing this!
