There are many aspects of singing that can be fun and bring a real joy to the soul and enjoying the wall of sound created by a choir in harmony is one of the best. Even so many people who regularly enjoy singing as a performance are unable to transfer their skills to harmonies, especially in a duet. Here are some tips to help create harmony amongst two or more voices and you can even practice alone.
There are three main points to remember:
1) You should be able to sing all of the parts: practice not just the section you will perform but know the other parts of the harmony to help you understand the other strands of the tune and give you a thorough knowledge of whatever the piece is that you are performing. You will also feel less insecure about the section you are singing and focus on the sound on the whole, when you feel confident enough to perform every aspect of a song. Of course you need to have your own section perfect but having an understanding of the other parts will help match the sounds of the harmony.
2) Finding the right level - in harmonies one person tends to try and drown the other out especially if they are the lead and knowing when to pull your own voice back to a softer level to complement those in a harmony is an important part of getting group vocals correct.
3) Putting the same effort in as when you are singing on your own - just because you are part of a group doesn't mean you should have less focus on your aspect of the performance. That's why practicing alone and together is important and listening to the other parts will allow you to make sure everyone has the correct ability for the piece.
Harmonization should be well within your reach if you follow these three easy steps and like any relationship listening to each other is the key.
