I listen to alot of different singers Jessica, Christina, Kelly Clarkson, Whitney, Leona Lewis………. and I was wondering because they all sound different is singing along with them the same as having some form of vocal training? All the singers have different sounds…. just wondering…?? Thanks!!
good for you for singing!
however, singing along is completely different and much less effective than taking vocal lessons and doing exercises by yourself. mimicking another person's sound or repeating their pitch will not help your tone or ability to hear tonality and pitches.
i highly recommend vocal lessons or teaching yourself some solfege (do, re, mi, etc.) and using that to develop your sense of pitch! the more you sing, the better you'll sound.
happy music making!
