Harmonies are usually a sixth below the melody line, or a third above the melody if it low.


[image loading]

So them girls are singing the top, u sing the bass harmony. if you are singing bass, try some contrary motion to resolve the harmonies better, dont follow the melody exactly, but for tenor you are parralel with her melody always.

To find your harmony, sing the girl's melody, then take this note down an octave. now stack a major third on top of this note, or a minor third if it is in a minor key.


[image loading]


Be sure not to sing FLAT on harmonies, hit the note exactly right on the 1st beat. it gets difficult when the melody moves in intervals larger than a whole tone.


here is me trying it on tgif by katy perry

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1GziMxXkUw6


now lets try echoing, make up a melody that forms a cannon for the main melody

tears fall

(tears fall)

and i know

(and i know)

that this pain

(that this pain)

is just a part

(is just...)


http://vocaroo.com/i/s1LwcoTXhNqd


When you sing, you don't t sing like how you talk. you sing pure vowels usually:

this is our goodbye.
thEEs EEs Ahl KoodbAhEE


this is an intro to ipa, which looks like:


tears fall and i know that this pain is just a part of life

looks like:


tils pɑl ænd ɑi no, dæt dis pen, is jəst e pɑt ɘb laib



so thats how u pronounce shit


so i think that's about all you need to know about basic harmonies, let me know if u have questions. also, learn about chords, when ur dancing with the melody, u can move around a bit if you know how to harmonize with the chords, also, in 4 part harmony, you cant always mirror the soprano, since the alto is sometimes doing that, so you follow a different part, usually written in the score.


oh, and don't push

I usually don't use a consistent interval for entire vocal lines, the way I would for guitar harmonies, or pad-oriented keyboard harmonies. I usually try to compliment or contrast the vocal line that is promoted as the main melody line. If it's in a part that's already musically busy, I'll go for a very simple harmony that either doesn't move a whole lot from the tonic, or something that outlines the chord progression. If the vocal melody that I'm writing a harmony for is fairly simple, and the backing music isn't terribly complex, I'll get a little fancier with it, and use either multiple vocal harmonies, or make the first vocal harmony a bit active. You can really customize them a lot to suit the song in which they're written.

One more thing, I actually find parallel octaves to be quite pleasant in the specific case of a female singer overlaying a male singer.

Good introduction for basic duets! I particularly liked the correct pronunciation guide! It's funny how poorly designed English is for singing. My singer buddies have always hated singing English arias.

If you really want to get some good and juicy duets going, you can't beat getting the chord progression in your head and adding suspensions and passing tones.

If you guys really like this stuff, pm me for some basic introduction material I kept from my grad work on writing canons. It's awesome shit! Like doing a crossword that ends up sounding awesome.

Harmonies are usually a sixth below the melody line, or a third above the melody if it low.

Are they? In the kind of music I played (emo/rock) harmonies were usally thirds or fifths. I actually don't even know which notes I am singing when I do harmonies, I just do what sounds good to me
