HOW TO SING LIKE ADELE

1. Sing songs to which you can relate. The blues is a style of
music that generally talks about pain, love, grief, loss and suffering. In order to be a really great blues singer, you have to be authentic. Choose
songs that talk about issues that you have experienced in your life.
2. Add a low growl to your voice to sing the blues like adele. Blues vocals should sound full and gritty.
3. Use traditional blues instruments to back up your vocals. Common blues instruments include electric guitar, slide guitar and
harmonica.
4. Refrain from enunciating your lyrics too clearly.
Professional blues singers like adele have a smooth, relaxed way
of pronouncing their words as they sing. For example,
instead of singing, "Since my
baby left me," you should sing, "Since maaahhh bay-bay lefff meeee...."
5. Listen to some of the great blues singers to gain an
understanding of how
professional blues vocals should sound. Some of these
famous musicians include Adele, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Son House, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Robert Johnson
and John Lee Hooker.
6. Use a blues scale in your music. A blues scale is a pattern of musical notes that
is very similar to a minor pentatonic scale. In a blues
scale, you use the pattern of 1 ("root" or starting note),
minor third (three half steps higher), 4 (five half steps higher than the root),
diminished fifth (one half step higher than 4), 5 (two half steps higher than 4),
minor seventh (three half steps higher than 5) and 8 (one octave higher than 1).
The half steps in music consist of the following notes: C, C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F,
F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, B.
So, if you wanted to sing the blues using the C blues scale,
your notes would be: C, Eb, F,
Gb, G, Bb, C. Even some
modern songs, such as
Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," employ the same pattern of
notes or one that is very similar.
