For singers, their voice is everything, and they have a huge responsibility to protect it. Voice training, an essential part of this responsibility, is often skipped due to the vocalists’ busy schedules. In a recent interview with Guitar Girl Mag, Lzzy Hale said that even though she’s an established singer, she still cares about training and also knows how to skip a tone if it would challenge her voice.
“Even with the guttural things that I do as a singer, it shouldn’t hurt,” said the frontwoman, stating the importance of not damaging the vocal cords with challenging notes. “If it hurts, don’t do it. Everything should feel like nothing… effortless.”
She continued, “I do train my voice quite often. But if you’re a beginner singer, the first and foremost thing that you should be learning is proper breath control, because the breath is literally the fuel for your engine. If that gets messed up, there’s a domino effect, and you’re going to end up losing your voice.”
Halestorm came out of the pandemic with a great product. At the beginning of last May, their album ‘Back From The Dead’ was released, exploring topics that they had the opportunity to think and write about during the pandemic. It was their fifth studio album.
In fact, they started working on it even before the pandemic began. When the pandemic intervened, the band members’ experiences, especially Lzzy Hale’s forced disconnection with their audience, and how this felt became one of the prominent themes in the album.
According to Haley, this album was ‘a journey of navigating mental health, debauchery, survival, redemption, rediscovery, and still maintaining faith in humanity.’ The solid musical background of the songs, combined with Haley’s live performances, received a pretty good response overall. As for the secret of why Haley performs so well, it is now clear!
