VOCAL AGILITY VS NATURAL TALENT: CAN ANYONE LEARN IT?



Are you struggling with vocal agility? As a fellow singer who once dreamed of becoming a coloratura soprano, I understand how frustrating it can be to feel like you're not making progress.


However, watching Julia Lezhneva's "Da tempeste" inspired me to push myself further. I began to practice along with her video, and to my surprise, I found that I could keep up.


Based on my own experience, I've discovered that vocal agility isn't just a natural talent - it's a skill that can be developed through consistent training and discipline. The secret lies in doing the heavy lifting by investing your time and energy into your practice.


As classical singers, we must resist the temptation to cheat by sacrificing the music (slowing down the tempo) or the precision of our notes.


In this video, I share the specific techniques I used to improve my pitch and time accuracy, which have helped me with all of my pieces to this day. And if you're hungry for even more information, be sure to check out my previous YouTube video.


Remember, vocal agility is not just a talent that some are born with – it's a skill that can be learned and honed with practice. So invest in yourself and your craft, and take your skills to the next level.
