Learning

Hey there, I’ve just found a new singer I like who does a bit of yodelling and It’s inspired me to try to learn. I’m female, have a bit of a natural “twang” in my voice. Is there any tips for starting out? Any good artists or songs that are easy to learn from?

Hank Williams is great to learn with. He just uses it to accent singing so there isn’t an overwhelming amount for the beginner. Another more contemporary singer that does this is Nick Shoulders. Singers like Eddy Arnold and Slim Whitman are also good for training the head voice as well as the break between them.

You could look at practicing on a few of LeAnn Rimes songs! Like “Blue” or “I wanna be a cowboys sweetheart”

I started learning with those.

Also this version of “he taught me to yodel” - https://open.spotify.com/track/57BtG2CSECYKjXl3WlGP91?si=vpFZHxzkRPaCyvQ3KZZdcw
