0:00:34 > 0:00:37# And still we wonder where we're going

0:01:39 > 0:01:41# Is it worth the wait?

0:01:42 > 0:01:44# Is it worth the wait?

0:01:44 > 0:01:48# To be the one that understands the more we live the less we know

0:01:51 > 0:01:54# Hey

0:01:54 > 0:01:56# Oh

0:01:59 > 0:02:01# Hey

0:02:02 > 0:02:04# Oh

0:02:07 > 0:02:13# Sometimes it's all right to follow the sunlight

0:02:15 > 0:02:19# I'm going west, going west for the weekend

0:02:19 > 0:02:23# Going west, going west for the weekend

0:02:23 > 0:02:27# And sometimes the sunset is

0:02:27 > 0:02:29# Better when you know that

0:02:31 > 0:02:34# You're going west, going west for the weekend

0:02:35 > 0:02:40# Going west, going west for the weekend

0:03:11 > 0:03:13# Hey

0:03:13 > 0:03:14# Oh. #

0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Thanks for watching. - Thanks, you guys.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Hey, guys. So I really hope you enjoyed our version of

0:03:32 > 0:03:33Worth The Wait.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35So right now we're just going to talk a bit about the difference

0:03:35 > 0:03:38between singing background vocal and singing lead vocal.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41We're going to give you a bit of a demonstration with the song.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Jenny and I sing together on the bridge.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45So here it goes.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50# Sometimes it's all right to

0:03:50 > 0:03:53# Follow the sunlight

0:03:53 > 0:03:58# I'm going west, going west for the weekend

0:03:58 > 0:04:02# Going west, going west for the weekend

0:04:02 > 0:04:06# And sometimes the sunset is

0:04:06 > 0:04:10# Better when you know that

0:04:10 > 0:04:14# You're going west, going west for the weekend

0:04:14 > 0:04:18# Going west, going west for the weekend. #

0:04:21 > 0:04:23OK, so one of the things that I like to do when

0:04:23 > 0:04:27I'm singing background vocal is I like to make the sound

0:04:27 > 0:04:29sort of more in my head voice and breathy,

0:04:29 > 0:04:33cos I think that that makes it blend really well.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35- For sure.- It just sits really nicely on top.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Yeah, and when singing lead, you have to be strong,

0:04:38 > 0:04:41but you also have to listen to the person singing backup

0:04:41 > 0:04:45because you want to blend, and the point of singing lead

0:04:45 > 0:04:50isn't to sing necessarily stronger than the person singing harmony,

0:04:50 > 0:04:55but it's to emphasise the melody with conviction.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Yeah, and one of the things that really helps me to blend is,

0:04:58 > 0:05:01sort of, making sure that we're matching vowel shapes.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Yeah, that's important.- So that we're saying the words the same way

0:05:04 > 0:05:06and then that makes the voices blend really well,

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- and then it sounds kind of like one voice...- Yeah.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10..on two different parts.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Sounds really nice. - It sounds harmonic.
