A Chat with Dionne Osborne, the Vocal Coach Who Changed Drake's Style

[I love Latina women]

you can tell he's doing it properly tho'. The voice is coming straight from his diaphragm.

and it still doesn't sound good

Jay Z wears an ear piece when he performs too. I wonder who's in Jay Z's ear and Eminem's ear

Prolly Biggie.

see this is WHAT LABELS SHOULD ALL BE DOING..this is artistic development!!!!!

concentrate on the fukking live performance!!

she is telling the truth ..in regards to his vocals:

What I found in those recordings was that he has the most comfortable voice. It wasn't showy, and it had a very nice tone: it sounded so conversational. He wasn't singing at you, but singing to you. A lot of singers overdo it, try to bombast you, but Drake doesn't. And the average person can sing Drake's songs, and that's part of what they love


he's not a guy with great range , but it is a damn good tone....like as if he was singing around the house.....it's not overwhelming perfect for hip hop.....

when dealing with hooks , it doesn't overwhelm his bars or features of others.....

In 2014 no label is developing shyt... They just want to sign people with buzz. It does make sense that all entertainers should know how to perform on stage. Most rappers yell into the mic and are inaudible lyrically live.

Interesting read.

Her twitter is basically a backstage timeline of Drake tours. She be using Drake lines in her tweets a bit much

Alright cool breh.

just statin' the facts

 

[Claudex]

just statin' the facts

Nah, how a song sounds is prely subjective to whoever's listening breh. I respect your opinion tho'. If you feel that Drake is talentless then that's your prerogative

Sound.

 

[STEVE]

read this yesterday - very good read. i have to sing (scream) onstage and working on it to take care of your voice and body is important. drake sings live really well in a big arena which is 10 x harder than a small club where i have seen numerous rappers sound

 

[blackslash]

Hmmm

Good read

This just helped put something in perspective for me
