Vocal Lesson: Mike Ferfolia, professional vocalist and instructor at Metalworks Institute, teaches you how to sing background and backup vocals in this singing tutorial.

In this lesson, Mike talks about matching the vowel sounds of the lead singer by blending the harmony and lead parts together. While consonants will always sound similar no matter what, it is important that you are trying to match and even emulate the way the lead vocalist is singing vowels so that you can sound like them tonally. It is also important to rehearse with them before performing so that you can get a better grasp on their phrasing and timing when they sing. Mike says that "As a background singer it's your job to do just that. Sing in the background and basically make the lead singer look really good."

Beginner, intermediate and advanced vocalists are encouraged to practice these techniques. Follow these basic steps to improve you're effectiveness as a background singer dramatically!
