Learning how to sing fast will allow you to sing more advanced vocal runs, and you\u2019ll be in total control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that is an amazing feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before we get into the exercise that\u2019s going to help you boost your speed, there\u2019s one VERY important thing you need to know\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"you-have-to-start-slow\"><strong>You have to start slow!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m serious. Like learning pretty much any instrument, the key to building speed is starting slow and making sure you\u2019re being <em>accurate<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you try to sing fast too soon and you\u2019re not accurate, all you\u2019ll be doing is practicing your mistakes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So make sure you focus on pitch accuracy first, and then gradually increase your speed. So\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-singer-speed-challenge\"><strong>The Singer Speed Challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This exercise is a fantastic way to start singing vocal runs and boosting your overall singing speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll do it by working your way up a five-finger scale going back and forth. To begin, we\u2019ll focus on working up the scale using a \u201cBOU\u201d sound (as in \u201cbook\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a consonant to the vowel sound will help you \u201clatch\u201d on to the sound and make it easier to move up and down the scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"your-pitch-needs-to-be-correct\"><strong>Your Pitch Needs To Be Correct!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The key is to focus on the pitch and making sure you\u2019re hitting the right notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If pitch is a challenge for you, that&#8217;s ok!
