How do you make twang

To hit high notes more easily, you can use twang. Twang also helps you bypass hoarseness or irritation and allows you to make that note sound sharper, stronger, and more penetrating. However, like with anything that has “too much,” overdoing twang isn’t ideal.

It’s a handy technique to have under control for specific situations—so, will you twang along with me? Let’s mimic a baby, motor, duck, or siren together!

Too much twang can sound irritating, but not if it’s naturally part of your voice. Think of singers like Anastacia, Adele, and Amy Winehouse. All three use twang, but they do so naturally. With Adele, you can even hear that sharp, twangy sound when she’s just talking.

It’s worth studying these singers as examples. When you use twang yourself, make sure it’s functional and tasteful, so it enhances your performance rather than dominating it. 🎤
