Since 2004, the teenage band steadily rose to fame and it now remains one of the most popular alternative pop rock bands with female vocals. Most of the bands appeal comes from the newness of having a female vocalist in an otherwise all-male band, fairly unique riffs, catchy melodies, and deeper and more mature lyrics than other bands their same age and genre.
But its undeniable that a huge part of Paramores success comes from their front womans mass appeal and superior vocal abilities in the high and low notes and she makes belting out huge notes seem so effortless, powerful, and precise.
Do you really want to know how to sing like Hayley Williams?
If we all had the privilege of looking at a great singer in the making backwards, we could see how they were vocally when they started out: not as polished and perfect, a little off pitch here, a little strain there, a little more average, more human, like the rest of us.
I think its very generous of Hayley to pay tribute to whom tribute is due in her vocal success: celebrity voice instructor Brett Manning, and how she gave the program an honest and open testimonial of her vocal journey.
Her popular Singing Success testimonial at YouTube may be something you wouldnt bother viewing twice, but if you look closely and read between the lines, theres gold to be gleaned from it, vocal gold that you can actually use for yourself!
Want to know how this Hayleys simple Proactive-like testimonial can help YOU? Here Goes:
When I was younger... it was really hard for me to get a lot of range without straining
To begin with, Hayley Williams didnt have a very high range. She had the potential to sing high, but was LIMITED at the start and also strained like most singers did when they tried to sing higher.
and thats when I decided...to look for someone that could help me...see what Im doing wrong.
If youve been going around in circles like her wondering why you dont seem to be improving on your own, you should seriously consider getting help from a qualified voice instructor.
I found Brett through a friend..I realized that this is who I need to be with.
There are many factors that make a voice teacher qualified, but go with your gut on how your teacher approaches your singing and observe how he or she hones your voice. Only YOU can know what is best for you. But on the whole, Singing Success seems to be getting a lot of positive feedback.
After 5 lessons I guess and I noticed a big difference already.
Its important for you to realize that in-person voice lessons at Singing Success studios arent usually scheduled daily, but paced over a period of several days to weeks while the student works what he learned in-between. Realize that even with the best singing instruction in the world, your voice will only improve in proportion to how YOU work it given the correct technique.
He changed the way I was going about singing but he didnt make me sing like somebody who I wasnt.
Voices are as diverse as the people who own them. One vital characteristic of a good voice teacher is working with what you have naturally been born with, only enhancing your strengths, correcting your wrongs, and strengthening your weaknesses. Run away from him if he tries to make you sing like someone else. However there IS a universal way on how sing properly. This is what you should learn to do.
I kinda put all my faith in Brett and from the second he said, You have no head voice. Its like all this light airy falsetto thats gonna tear you apart.
Wow, the legendary vocal powerhouse Hayley Williams started out on a light airy falsetto? You heard it, her teacher said so himself! Not only did she start low, she also started out weak. Her voice wasnt always as powerful before as it is now. Do you know what this means? If she could go from low to high and weak to strong, so can YOU!
Heres another powerful secret hidden in her testimonial: head voice. Head voice is one of the building blocks to a strong, powerful high voice. Its not the same as falsetto, but head voice in itself isnt enough to sing powerfully high. The Singing Success program shows you how to develop head voice, as well as the two other essential components needed for that killer voice.
Another important thing: faithspecifically, faith in your instructor, the instruction, and faith in your own voice that with proper training it will do what you want it do eventually.
I just did the sounds Brr gugugug whining baby cry nah-nah, no-no-no and I was like, how is this gonna help me sing?
Look at this very closely as she just name-dropped a few of the very same exercises that Brett Manning used on her to transform her voice from powerless to powerful. These are just silly syllables on a scale, but Singing Success teaches you how properly utilize these silly sounds to strengthen the vocal cords. Do you want to learn how?
Its been about 5 years since Ive taken from him and I wouldnt go to anyone else.
Hayley Williams has started taking voice lessons from Brett when she was 13. By the time this interview was taken, she was all famous already and 5 years have passed since. Those 5 years she spent with discipline on applying what she had learned with patience, persistence, and determination. Are YOU willing to work it for even half, one-third, or one-fourth the time and effort she did?
It has been said that anything worth having is hardly ever easy. After all is said and done, its really up to you to take the steps to make this dream come true.
So do you have what it takes to be the next Hayley Williams?
