Learn to master your voice and tempo

The two main ingredients of a successful rap are voice and rhythm . If you manage to put your words at the right time while controlling your intonation perfectly, it’s already a good start (the acceleration and the optimization of the famous ” flow  ” will come later!).

So, above all, a rapper knows the basics of singing: he relaxes his neck and his face, he takes his breath properly and he trains his voice. Warm-ups, for example, are a must-do in any genre, including this one. Then, once you know how to sing, you need to get into the right rhythm. There are several ways to do this: listen to songs without paying attention to the lyrics – and focusing on the tempo, start with a metronome or practice beatboxing. Concretely, you imitate the bass drum or the snare drum with your lips: your mouth is transformed into drums, in order to understand well how to respect the good rhythm.

Practice on well-known songs

Imitation is a method accessible to all those who wish to get into rap like autodidacts. Concretely, start by choosing a part of a song that you know well and that you like – it is always more pleasant to practice with songs that you like!

Memorize an entire verse or chorus, analyze the rhythm and flow of the performer, identify all the clues in the pronunciation, and carefully distinguish each syllable. Once you think you have correctly deciphered the passage, try to reproduce it a Capella . At first, this is a good way to test your ability to keep up with a pace on your own.
