So I recently asked 3000 singers what their biggest questions were about Freddie Mercury's singing technique. I got back so many responses it filled up pages and pages worth of questions! So I created this in-depth video which I am calling the ULTIMATE Freddie Mercury singing technique analysis! If you've ever had questions about:
Freddie Mercury's belting technique
His high ranged singing
Distortion technique
Breath support
Freddie's smooth connection from chest voice to falsetto
as well as his vocal damage and vocal struggles
Then you're in for a treat! The video is timestamped:
00:00 Introduction
01:15 Was Freddie a baritone or tenor?
02:39 Freddie's smooth chest to falsetto connection
03:25 "Life has just begun" technique demonstration
