[custom_adv] Soleyman Vaseghi is known for his work on Brothers in Blood (1975), Wounded Night (1977) and Light and Sound (2014). [custom_adv] Soleyman Vaseghi (Soley) was born in 1946. His love of music and extraordinary voice were remarkable even from his early years. At the age of 20 his performing career began, practicing a wide variety of vocal styles. [custom_adv] Singers with good vocal control are able to sing each note distinctly for the intended musical effect in a melody or harmony. They can also handle note leaps accurately, not jumping too far or not far enough in pitch whether they’re hitting high notes or low. Working on your control will help improve your singing. [custom_adv] Tone also means the overall timbre (characteristic sound) of the voice. For example, is it hoarse or smooth, hard or soft, broad or narrow, light or heavy, and so on. To improve your singing and your tone, it’s a great idea to practice both your head voice and your chest voice, and be able to recognize when each is best to use – low and mid-range notes are often more comfortably sung in chest voice, while high notes require use of your head voice. It may also help to practice singing those sustained vowels to get the right tone in whatever register you are singing in. [custom_adv] It also helps you to produce a broad tone rather than one which sounds thin and feeble, so you can sing certain passages and songs better. Although you might occasionally want to sing with a weak-sounding voice to best suit a particular song, a good singer must also have a voice which is capable of producing a strong broad tone. It’s better to have all your bases covered. [custom_adv] This is another immediate tell-tale sign of a poor singer: many people are either blasting out every note, or singing so quietly you may barely hear them. The listener is either deafened or frustrated by having to strain to hear. Either way, sing at a suitable volume or they won’t want to hear more! [custom_adv] Have you ever heard someone at a karaoke night use a sweet and gentle voice to sing death metal? Or someone attempt to deliver a love ballad with a hoarse growling roar? Once you’ve stopped laughing at the sound coming out of their mouth, the chances are you don’t come away thinking they’re a good singer.
